Pl e 1701-a -finished

[ColHero]

My favorite ship of any kind ever. Finally completed after 2 years, my second attempt to create an accurate miniature of the Refit-A studio model is the result of many hours of research, testing and the incorporation of years of effort by many of our fellow modelers.

As we all know, there are major differences between the TMP Refit and the A version. My goal was to create a miniature of the A version Studio model with 90% objective accuracy.

Here’s a couple photo albums: Note: The only editing I did was to the overall tint and contrast as well as blacking out the background (and adding starfields and planets).

Standalone album: 79 photos

I agree, this is the best version of the Enterprise, easily the top 5 of any ship ever. Great work on the kit. I'm about 1/2 way through mine, love this kit.

Sorry guys I know you may be tired of this build but just had to share a couple new photos. I dont have a good camera or lighting for model shoots so its rare that I get good photos.

Note: all of the blue-gray colors are slightly different shades of the same base color - yet they look gray or green depending on the angle.
