Re: Star Trek T.O.S. Enterprise Bridge Build 1/10th Scale
Managed to find a little time to build Sulu's targeting scanner. It is built to the exact dimensions on the McMaster plans but it seems a little smaller than it should be.
This has inadvertantly worked to my advantage though as it is small enough that I have decided to make it actually retract into the helm console as per the original in the TV series. I know it should fold in the middle but, Hey! I'm only human! LOL!
Here is a pic of the hinge extension I added to make the whole thing work:
I then edged and bordered the command podium and after filling and sanding, I sprayed it up....
Then cut and fitted the grey carpet...
And finally, the helm and command chair. I will not glue the carpet into place until everything else is finished and painted and in position.
I think it is really starting to take shape now.
Thanks for looking in guys and please feel free to comment or critique or just say hi! LOL!
