Steve,
The whole Big E Story is incredible to watch!!! I only wish I could do what you have done!! Unbelievable, very cool and yes Bigger is Better... Thanks for posting your progress on YouTube.
 
The latest video:
This project gets more amazing with every update. Having watched this latest video though does raise a question. Did I hear correctly that you're done with the engineering hull? Have you decided to not fill in these gaps before attaching and closing up the saucer?

I may still be able to move it. I just looked inside the hanger bay and I can just get to them. Later.

No I haven't filled those in yet and will.

thanks guys for the kind words and help,

Steve

This might be a problem since Steve wants to have the deflector array detachable.:confused
 
It's amazing how the pendents make it really pop. Good to hear you can still get to the rear strobes. Personally it would drive me crazy to leave it . . . but then again I never finish projects, lol.

Is the strobe an LED that you have sticking in a hole in the hull or is it an LED positioned behind a port? If the former, did you sand it flush or is it rounded on the outside? Just curious. I was just thinking of something that might make it easier to fix.
 
Just wait till you see what Steve has in mind as an encore! ;)

It'll blow your minds. Ok anymore and Steve'll track me down and silence me, permanently. :$
 
You built this in your garage. Your freakin' garage!

The final product is smoother than the production model its based on. In that respect, it is actually an improvement over the original. Steve, I have said this several times already, but I cannot get over how fantastic this is. You must be giddy about having this thing hanging in your home. What an achievement...you deserve to be insanely proud...and to be so generous with the process and humble in your acceptance of the well-deserved positive response you have received.

Class-act all the way.
 
Now, now fellas... let's not get caught up in too much conjecture here. Don't want to get ourselves worked up over something only to disappoint ourselves it's not at all he's working on next :p lol

He'll share it with us once he's done the Enterprise, and is good and ready. Personally, I suggested he take a bit of a break after this project, but he seemed pretty keen on getting started on the next one.

The man just can't seem to keep still :rolleyes lol
 
Hogwash! Time for conjecture....

1/10 TOS shuttlecraft (in scale with art asylum figures)... please!

I've been comparing the 2 photos (studio model vs. yours) and I'm not sure what has to change. Does the bulb have to move further aft? This is the time to change its location for me as I have the halves still apart.
 
Oh, I just watched the video again and see what he did. My window locations are good, it's a matter or which porthole you used for your strobe. You just have to move yours.
 
I've started on mine. All bridge and secondary hull windows are filled with clear resin and I've started on the armature. I'm doing my armature with plywood like Steve did since Lexan is VERY expensive.
 
Glorbes,

Thanks soooo much and I thanks the rest of you guys too. As for the next build I really haven't though much about it. In time thought. ;)

Thanks again!

Steve
