Finished 1:350 USS Enterprise Refit

[clancampbell]

Just finished this yesterday. It's got a custom mirrored base, Trekmodeller light kit, a lot of my own LED's to create spotlight effects, (thanks yet again to Raytheon!!!) this time i decided to use Acreation decals for the hull patterns.
I used the supplied R2 decals for strongbacks etc. Just wanted it to be a bit different.

All the usual interiors are present, i've used some of the brass Paragrafix parts. I've also used a combination of PNT and kit supplied decals.

I sanded off all the phasers and the pylon conduits. I remade the phaser bumps from 2mm plastic rod, rotating in a dremel sanded them to roundness.

Little guys from L'arsenal are here populating the interiors too.

Steve Neill really inspired me with his astonishing 1:350 NX build..... i have nowhere near this guys finesse or skill and it was his patient, skillfull work on the afforementioned kit that really kept me going.
I know a lot of you are going to hate the Acreation patterns, but i love them. The finished decals were given a couple of coats of pearl white.
I had a few cock ups here and there and i will never be without Micro-Sol ever again!

Sorry my pics aint great....

I like it. Sure, there are nitpickers out there who will take you to task for this and that (Ask them to show you their model), but I think it looks great.

Well you could sure fool me. Now I need to build another and I hate mine. Fantastic job! Beautiful and stunning. Be very proud.

Don't worry about the nitpickers. What have they done anyway? Except nitpick?

Looks outstanding!

Love that you went with the purple in the inside of the nacelles, very TMP. Did you use the back light effect for the registry lighting? It looks spot on.

 

[darthgordon]

I think that is amazing! Those lit shots look straight out of TPM.

 

[crackerjazz]

Excellent display piece!!!

Yes, it's all backlighting!

That's awesome work. After your previous thread about the Acreation decals, which enlightened me to the never-before-noticed-colors in the process, this has finished out very nicely.

 

[glorbes]

That is incredible. Really, really incredible. I'd say you could hold this up to Steve Neill's stuff and be proud of it. The effort really shows in the finished product. The lighted shots are especially convincing...coulda told me it was the studio model and I would've believed you!

 

[SVTStingRay]

wow great build!!!!!!!!!!!!
is most of the surface color from the decals and a little painting or is that all decals?

how study is the engine support pylons. they were always very flimsy on the original smaller model. is there anything you did to it.

Yeah, I'm wondering also if there is metal support rods inside the pylons...?
