Polar Lights USS Enterprise NCC-1701 1/350 scale model build #6

I finally got the sub assemblies finished so now it's on to paint prep! Lots of intricate detail sanding and light blocking left to do, and then masking all those windows! So far I have had a lot of fun building this thing, it's a pretty impressive kit, not just the size but the quality of the construction.

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

white or blue?

@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)

[helipilot27]

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

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.

@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.

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!!!!

[classcarpentry]

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!

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