Studio Half Scale TOS Enterprise Scratch build

[JCByrdman]

My wife would love it if I built the entire bridge.

thanks,

Steve

You lucky $@&#%#~€ ... :lol
If you do build the bridge, I will claim to be your long lost brother just so I can visit it.

Works for me. Hell if I was rich I'd build the whole darn ship 1:1 scale.

I don't even have room for the 66" :lol

 

[Commander Max]

BTW I just got the nacelle motors and o 12 volts they are the perfect speed and quiet as a church mouse. I'll shoot a video tomorrow. Thanks to Max! You know the guy that's building the 11.5 footer. Not this guppy! LOL!

Steve

Your welcome Steve, I replaced the motors on my Custom Replicas 66" with these. They are quiet and much easier to install, than what I got with the CR kit.
Funny thing the 11 footer will have even quieter motors. :lol

It's 100 degrees. Cloudy. No Sun yet 100 degrees. Humidity 100 %. I couldn't have worse weather for any kind of model making.

This is depressing!

Hang in there Steve, I went through the same thing. Check your e-mail. I'm putting in my order for one of your fine ships and if there's ever anything I can do to help, you let me know! Keep on Trekkin buddy, just Keep on Trekkin!=/\=

 

[SteveNeill]

Thanks Joe.

You're more than welcome, I'm excited at the thought. I'll have a 22", a 32.5", a 47" and a 66" model all of the same ship. I'm going to have TOS Enterprises running out of my ears.:lol

I'm sorry but without an 11' Enterprise we won't be able to take your collection seriously :wacko Kidding aside I envy your being able to wrangle one of Steve's kits. It will be the crown jewel in an already magnificent collection. It's great fun to see and learn from Steve's craftsmanship!

Wowsa! You could line those babies up and take a great fleet shot like something you'd have seen in The Ultimate Computer!

 

[Shizman]

What did you plan on using for bussard cages that will spin on the motor?

I know, watching Steve's work is very informative and exciting, I feel a little voyueristic, but where else to learn, but from someone with experience? Life, if nothing else, should be a daily learning experience.

I know, right? Don't think I'm not thinking about it. I do have a green screen and some pretty good editing software.:eek

Steve, can you put in a window unit and cool that shop off while you work?

 

[robn1]

...Humidity 100 %...

In LA? Wow :eek

 

[SteveNeill]

Steve, can you put in a window unit and cool that shop off while you work?

Too many hull breaches to do that. It's an old garage. High ceiling and no insulation.

[trekman1017]

Any new pictures?

John just domes with vinyl transfers for the cage. The domes attach to the motors and turn inside the outer domes.

Steve

 

[SteveNeill]

Any new pictures?

Just of the molds plus 17 videos of the making of them. No more pictures until I start laying up epoxy glass. go back a few pages for the molding process pictures and videos.
