[subron6er]

I had this model about 3 years, I think I am finally going to start it this weekend. I want to try to light it myself. very nice work.

[leakyvalve]

Very nice!!!!

I just ordered this model the other day and plan on using your videos as a guide. Very awesome, hope mine turns out half as good as yours. I plan to take my time n this one.

The ships and characters might be fictitious, but Gene Roddenberry's belief of a better and more loving human race and achieving a utopian society is far from fictitious. It is "Gene's Dream" which the "Trekkers" like myself believe in. We have evolved from a simple Television show, to the "theology" of Trek.

I bought the Polar Lights kit and I wanted to know how you painted the larger parts of the ship. I have seen many different air brush paint kits and wanted to know if you have a preference? Great job on this kit!!!!

[jwstrand63]

Did you have to use a clear blue for the Nacelles? Are the Trekmodeler LED's

white or blue?

[helipilot27]

@jwstrand63 You will get instructions when you get your light kit. I think I put down the clear blue first, followed by a few coats of frost spray(avaliable at craft stores). LEDs are white so the outside warp grill is correct color.(same lights)

Love your work, outstanding job!!!, BTW it's Trekker, not Trekkie, we hate that, but no problem, would love to see an Enterprise D in this scale!

[silvereagle2061]

@classcarpentry I'm a life long Trekker and I told him that if he's not a Trek fan then after he built this he would become one.

[EmpireLS56KW]

the model kits have come a long way since the AMT 22" model kit of the 80's.

[Golgafrinchamdent]

Great work! Is there some sort of metal frame which will keep the nacelles and the saucer section aligned and level ?

[zuioprt]

there should be five lines.... OF COURSE, thats the first think someone recognizes watching this ...... great peace of model builder art!

[LordAtrocities]

You are a modeling GOD!

[11thmaster]

[vulcanmaster1985]

I like your videos thay are giving me some ideas for my enterprise model

[Sinjin90]

very nicely done

[OneQuarkMore]

Amazing video. Your work is amazing!

[screamingsamurai]

Dude, Awesome build. Can't wait to some more on this one. Keep up the great work

[136miles]

please do not be quick I like your "droneing on"

[stoneman127]

The Enterprise-D clear kit is listed with cult-TV-man in their hobby shop section. The other is listed with round2models (models,atm, enterprise-d-clear). Neither location is taking orders right now. Cult-TV-Man is accepting pre-orders to give them an idea of how many to hand on hand ahead of time. Price seems to be 54.95 retail. I think it's bigger than the original release of Enterprise-D which was 1:2500. This one is supposed to be 1:1400.

[ModelManTom]

Coming along real nice!

[stoneman127]

Excellent as always. I've seen a couple of ads on the internet of an Enterprise-D (Next Generation Star Trek) coming out July 2010. Supposed to be 1:1400 scale made completely in clear plastic. Supposedly, many of the later models created for the T.V. series were made that way. Easier to light but requires a lot more painting to mask light leaks. I think it's AMT/Round2 that's producing it. Don't know what quality it'll be in or how detailed.

[awildermode]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. Cannot wait for the next episode.

[abaddon5]

It's looking great, man. Not only is the scale awesome, but the lights just make it pop.

[SVPrelude]

lol amazing as usual :) That was VERY smart what you did w/ the nacellle- I would have never thought of that! Flood lights are AWESOME! I wish I could see them in person- they do look pretty bright on camera.

You'd be surprised in how realistic Star Trek really is when compared to real life. We've gained a lot technology wise due to ST believe it or not :) Cell phone, Hypo spray, cloaking device, and magnetic shields have so far been invented- as well as a small deflector dish. GREAT JOB!

[helipilot27]

@SVPrelude Thanks, and I'm pretty impressed with the amount of thought that goes into the Trek technology. They have a "scientific" principle behind everything on the shows.

[finalfrontier1701]

Well, this Trek-dork thinks you're doing a good job. I like the way the light diffuses on the nacelles.

[helipilot27]

@finalfrontier1701 Thanks!

[trimi38]

wear did you buy this :o?

[helipilot27]

@trimi38 I'm custom building it from the Polar lights kit.

[trimi38]

@helipilot27 can you pm me a link to the kit and custum stuff yo got?

[helipilot27]

@trimi38 Sure, sorry didnt see your comment until now.

[ddrusa]

nice work there
