Fantastic, Steve! Looks great and I love what you did with the base. Very unique.

Excellent job, especially on the lighting aspect, which the kit wasn't really designed for.

I recently discovered your YouTube channel and that's what led me back to the RPF.

Thanks so much guys. And Fly and Fight. Welcome to the RPF. Glad I helped you find it.

steve this is just great, i realy want to build one of these, but i want to get the big e first

Thanks you guys and Dennis I like the brass. I've painted the brass in the past and the paint will over time chip off.

Here's another idea if someone doesn't want brass.. heat shrink tubing. It'll look rubbery, but it would be black, or any other colour if they have anything that wide.

As I haven't posted in this thread yet, I'll also add my congrats and well done. I'm very impressed at your skill level on everything you've done! I now look forward to seeing your videos every day, and is indeed a highlight of my day!

Scott,

Sent you a PM.

Perma Blue will blacken brass. It's mainly marketed for touching up the finish on firearms, so look for it the sporting goods section of your local Walmart/Kmart/dedicated sporting goods store. Something the size of that brass tube can end up kind of blotchy, so I'd practice on another piece beforehand.

Thanks Trooper!

P.S. What's next?? I'm building a small movie Klingon cruiser just for fun for myself and hoping for more work. I'm unemployed again and back to work on Star Trek Sirius.

STAR TREK: SIRIUS

Here it is in it's new home:

I shortened the brass pole by 4.5 inches so that it was the same height as the MR Enterprise and added a wood frame for the base to sit in. I am going to stain and clear coat the wood frame.

Nice!

Looks great, perfect match for your Enterprise.

I see a SS Botany Bay I think...

 

[Spheric Thor]

Yes, the SS Botany Bay made by REL in 1:350 scale

Haha, sorry Steve, I just had to laugh at that typo. What kind of deadly plague are you sending? I hope it's locusts.

 

[BrundelFly]

Damn...I was gonna sell mine.

Now I might have to just build it!
