1:350 USS Enterprise Refit By Polar Lights Updated Build Series Pt 6

In this update I install the aftermarket 3D printed Rec Deck from Hobbiwerks.com in the saucer of the model. Next I show how to set up the LED flood light effect at the front of the bridge.

Merry Christmas! You continue to be an inspiration Boyd.

[@stevenewman1393]

Any ways coming along very nicely and a very beautiful job on it indeed, wish I could still build my models that great again but unfortunately my eye sight ain't what it used to be, Any ways a very beautiful and awesome job indeed 👌...

[@MrDravenLee]

Merry Christmas Boyd and to your family. All the best for 2023. Thanks for all the interesting videos you put out this year. 👍🙏🙏🙏

[@wraith20072007]

Merry Christamas Boyd, hope you have a fantastic day. Saucer is looking great, I always love how clean you do your work I'm the same way. I'm friends with Russ over at Hobiwerks he's really been working hard on getting thoses 3D parts printed right but all the things he offers are pretty cool. Rec Deck looks great inside there you did an awesome detailed paint job. Thanks for the update and thank you for all your time and hard work in posting and sharing it's greatly appreciated Bro.

[@TrekWorks]

It was really nice of Russ to send over the parts. They look great.

[@lestatdelc]

Weird. My comment about some resources for a deep dive on the rec. deck detailing 3D model I have been working on for a future 3D printed part (which will be based on the screen-accurate set blue print=s (converted to a forced perspective version) keeps disappearing. Not sure if that is a KZbin thing (because it has a URL link in it) or it keeps getting deleted.

[@TrekWorks]

I think KZbin only allows the video publisher to post links in the description or comments.

[@stormknightmd]

Merry Christmas! You wouldn’t happen to have a list of paint colors you’re using for this, would you?

[@TrekWorks]

I'll talk about that in my next update.

[@stevenbaker8216]

Merry Christmas Boyd and your family great job on the enterprise build

[@petermerz2704]

Merry Christmas Boyd! Nice work. Thanks for sharing! 😎🇨🇦

[@RichardEKranz]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year for you and your family! Be safe.

[@Kens_Model_Shop]

Boyd the Enterprise lighting looks awesome thanks for sharing looking forward on the next update Merry Christmas and have a safe Holiday season.

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks Ken, Merry Christmas :)

[@tanyav7888]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Boyd to you and your family!

[@richardcorwin1828]

Looking good Boyd as usual. Have a Merry Christmas and the New Year coming is better!

[@ebt12]

Merry Christmas! This was a nice present to wake up to. Thank you for all of the ideas and suggestions for when I eventually get to build the refit sitting in the next room.

[@triskellian]

Merry Christmas to you Boyd and your family!

[@richardtrinidad3115]

Love your show I find it very informative

[@MVK_GS]

Thank you, Boyd. Beautiful detail.

[@MovieNutter]

Happy Christmas ! Thank you for being a source of inspiration on all your builds and advice. Your impact reaches right around the world.... and one of these days I am going to start my build :)

[@MrChief101]

You summoned your nerves of steel when applying that thin CA to the "lighthouse" LED... my heart was in my mouth. There must be a better way of positioning something like that with putty or a little styrene stand... Best of the New Year (I will be in touch!) to you and yours!

[@TrekWorks]

For sure probably a thousand better ways but I was caught live in the moment and needed something quick :)

[@paulvanthomme3209]

Merry Christmas to you and family Boyd. The work is looking great on the refit Enterprise .

[@pumpin51]

Would painting/light blocking the top of the spotlight on the bridge maybe stop it from shining up? Just wondering.

[@TrekWorks]

I am looking at doing that. Either with paint of some photo etch.

[@aaronvandoorn1276]

Merry Christmas have a good day

[@loadsmasher698]

How much for one of your Refits?

[@chipnod-ue9wk]

Merry Christmas Boyd! As always, enjoy your builds. Are you or how do you put lenses into the officer's lounge and rec deck? 🤔

[@TrekWorks]

I'll show that putting in the officers lounge window and the arboretum on both sides.

[@PunkyWily]

Looking great Boyd!!! Glad you are digging the parts, and I really should have sent you an instruction manual for that Rec Deck, would have been less of a pain for ya. Need to get me one of those bridges though, love that floodlight effect!!!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks again Russ, I really like the parts.

[@forthwithtx5852]

You’re welcome, Boyd. I try to find ways to help out the channels I’m subscribed to. Merry Christmas!! -Karl

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks again, it will get put to good use :)

[@kjpphotography4764]

That is looking really great with the details!

[@rickgregory9616]

It's really coming along! Wish I had your talent/experience to build this - Merry Christmas from OC Calif!

[@JoeCortezII]

Merry Christmas! Awesome build series. Thank you for putting this out. Are you using an after-market part for the phaser arrays on the saucer?

[@TrekWorks]

I have a simple method for replacing the sanded off phaser bank detail which I will be showing.

[@wierdalien1]

Merry Christmas :)

[@jimi1701a]

Merry Christmas 🙂

[@drone-tario9693]

So instead of moving the bridge forward for the flood light effect...could you file down the front part underneath so you don't get the shadow?

[@TrekWorks]

You would need to file down a lot of the forward edge of the b/c deck which probably wouldn't look too good from the outside.

[@motercycle80]

Merry Christmas

[@davidchin350]

Incredible lighting detail Boyd, looks awesome 👌

[@valkyrie013]

First, Merry Christmas! , happiness to you and yours. For clear parts like ur impulse crystal. you can use pva glue , or resin. Jb quick or a couple of dabbs of your solar rez to tack it down if you can't use super glue.

[@TrekWorks]

Yes, I use my Solar Rez to tack in clear wind shields on car models and it works great. Just back up with regular glue around the edges from the inside. The stuff has a million uses.

[@wizardtowergames]

What is your opinion of UV reactive glue?

[@TrekWorks]

Good stuff, I use it all the time.

[@grantfryer1]

Great work dude.

[@rev.raymondrodriguez3491]

Merry Christmas Boyd! Ship is coming together beautifully

[@roberthellner1313]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Boyd

[@gearhead762]

Merry Christmas Boyd! 🎅🤶🎄☃️

[@TrekWorks]

Merry Christmas old buddy.

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Great video. I'm behind on my videos. Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas Boyd!!!! Nice insight on using the rec. center. The saucer is coming along. I'll be watching

[@Ahkander67]

Happy new year. What part number is the HDA bridge piece? It looks great.

[@outsider238]

Really awesome watching you work on this. I always thought having the interiors on this kit was cool but those 3D printed interiors look fantastic! Love that you can look inside of those areas. Excellent work as always!!

[@TrekWorks]

Yes, with working on all of the interior spaces they are like separate models themselves.

[@outsider238]

@@TrekWorks Very true! Never thought of that! Looking forward to the next video!

[@bobbova8708]

Merry Christmas Boyd! You have done an excellent job here explaining and sharing information both on the complex wiring and lighting but also the different aftermarket parts available for this kit.The rec deck and officers lounge are incredibly detailed, lighted and painted and have some visible crew members as well.

[@johnblack9885]

I feel like you jumped 10 steps ahead since the last video. I can’t keep up!

[@jeromelester3094]

Do you ever sale models ?

[@ShawnMcClureModeler]

Merry Christmas Boyd. Great idea painting the B/C deck before installing the bridge. Way easier then the way I did it. Great build so far.

[@chrisgwilliam9893]

👍🏻

[@TheHoss4145]

too bright

[@matthewhall6288]

LEDs tend to look brighter in video than IRL.

[@muursnorthwestamexem8581]

Do they have any more refit model ships different from this kits
