My god that looks incredibly tedious. The detail will surely pay off in the long run though...just glad I don't have to do all that work.

Good stuff. Keep it comin.

Do I have to keep using this word..... DUUUUUUDE.

I am salivating on my keyboard. Windows in record time. How many?

Folks, lets face it. This guy, REL, is simply not human.

Amazing. Mold on, REL, mold on..........................................................and tell us when this beaut will be ready for release.

Regards.

You know, I don't even like this particular class of Enterprise much but I've been reading this thread religiously becuase your work is just amazing to watch. Thanks so much for the wealth of quality pictures, it's been an education (or a shaming, maybe...).

Hey REL, looking great.

Can you tell us how you placed all those windows so precisely? What's your technique / secret?

Thanks, basically I used a compass and made pencil lines where each line of windows will go and placed them using the ship pictures.

Oh, and being slightly insane helps too.

My goodness.

What a beast. So how heavy was that mold when ya took it off? It's HUGE....

 

[REL]

I think it weighs about 20 lbs.

Just messing around with plaster this morning, I wanted to see if the windows came out in the mold. I mixed the plaster too thick so don't yell at me about the bubbles heh.
