studio scale 1701 Refit bridge kit

[Aztek Dummy]

George over at Timeslip asked me to come up with a set of painting masks to make the job of painting his magnificent Enterprise refit Bridge kit at least a little bit easier.

Here are some of the fruits... now there is still quite a bit to go and the final red pinstriping will be vinyl (no need to paint the thin lines, yea!) but i thought y'all might like a peek

Enjoy

Nice work, I had forgotten about this great kit. i may have to pick it up now.

the trick has been getting the right shade of blue/green.

I should be ready to move "inside" later this week

Sorry if this is a repeat question, doesn't look like it. Is the dome removable and is there an interior? Seems a great opportunity!

Only the VIP lounge is in the kit. It's there since you can see it thru the large VIP lounge window.

I look forward to seeing it completed, very ambitious!

newest pics..

I've forced myself to stop fiddling with the exterior and get to the fun of building the lounge and then lighting. I've only to add the red pinstriping and I'll be ready to stick a fork in it.

Nice progress. Can't want to see the final pix.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I figured this might be a good place to ask: Has anyone ever come out with a refit bridge interior aside from that official papercraft book that came out in the 80's? Kind-of a kin to the AMT TOS bridge?

Beautiful work on that, BTW! :thumbsup

Great Work Lou! I love the pics and the crisp product!

I only just realized that you're in Raliegh...I'm here at Ft Bragg!

time for a basic inside shot.

I'm using the colors of the rec room (burgundy and oranges) for the lower section and the colors of the officer's lounge ("will you please...sit...down...") for the upper part.

lot of detailing to do yet

 

[Aztek Dummy]

Fun with printing

time for some interior decoration



and yes...that is a "major award"

Nice work Lou, digging the TMP interiors. Looking at your latest picture I see you've incorporated the NX-01 rather than the carrier and sailing ship! Can't decide if on the left you've built a leg lamp ala A Christmas Story, the lower half of a female figure or something else entirely.
Any way you 'slice' it, fantastic work!

[Aztek Dummy]

T,
thanks!

yup, I decided that the NX needed some recognition. If you want to imagine that the "other" display in the rec room has the carrier and sailing ship, OK by me

I had to give Kirk a leg lamp. It was the proper thing to do

 

[Aztek Dummy]

all done but the strobe light.
