Fantastic!!!!!!! Remarkable talent & skills shown here!!!!! I truly wish that I had a "fraction" of your modeling talents!!!!! Outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have nothing but admiration for skills like yours that I don't have and don't think I ever will.
As someone who built several Enterprise models when I was a kid (pretty much unadorned out-of-the-box efforts), it's funny to see your work to *intentionally* have the nacelles sagged and askew! But was it harder for you to replicate the exact angles of the original?
@DesiluTrek Actually it wasn't considering how bad the pylon angles were on the 1966 vintage kit toolings. They corrected that problem in the mid-1970s with newer tooling. All I did was stick the left pylon square into the hole and it replicated the angle perfectly. Keeping the right one straight was a little more difficult to achieve.
I had a problem once, I had airbrushed a tank with acyrilic paints, weathered it , rust , dirt, etc... Well the problem came in when I used a can of clear over it, it pulled the primer coat up through the detail airbrush work and it was gone... ! lol, well live and learn. Really nice work. thanks for posting. I have this kit and several years ago made a mess out of it, going to try and save it, light it up.... Jeff
