AMT Star Trek USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D 1/2500 Scale Model Kit Build Review AMT1126

[@UncleScorch]

“ The main thing is to have fun” - truer words never spoken, Chris. This phrase should be on the mind of every modeler - thanks for bringing the joy back into kit building for me - I was one of those clowns that drifted off into everything having to be perfect and honestly not enjoy modeling like I did when I was a kid. Thanks for another great video and build up, I always learn something from you even though I’ve been modeling for almost 50 years.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks JIm! If it's not fun, it's not a hobby is my opinion. Too many rivet counters and whiners out there, I try to have as much fun as I can.

[@joseburgos8214]

Granted this video is over 4 years old but I found myself really enjoying. The Enterprise D is my favorite of all the starships named Enterprise. I appreciated the decal tips especially. It has been a long time since I built a model and decaling was always tough for me. I will apply your tips on the next kits I put together.

[@DarKKlusteR]

I just found this video as well. Looking for some good tips and stuff. Ended up finding some decent paint that I could purchase at my local Walmart for my Polar Lights USS Voyager 1:1000 scale snap kit. What can I say, you live and you learn.

[@YdnarLah37]

Tasha Yar was my crush. Loved those first season uniforms.

[@wb8156]

This video helped me out so much. Explained a lot of the techniques and what to expect. This was the first model kit I’ve done and I just finished, pretty happy with it. Now I’m hooked. This channel is a blast to watch, thank you!

[@hpiguy]

You are so welcome!

[@ronroberts2453]

Stunning build Chris, and the decade application tips are spot on, I love this!!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Ron!

[@lonster3000]

This looks like the perfect kit for someone like me who wants to get back into model building (not just collecting!) and who never was very good at painting.

[@hpiguy]

You bet, enjoy!

[@buddyparrot1]

I'm watching it as I type. WOW, what a deal, and an easy build, unlike the AMT 1/640, or whatever it is. I was building it, and decided to paint the aztecks. I order this paint mask set for like 80 bucks, and it is all but un use able! Then I decide to build the kit as it looked in the first season, without aztecks, and as I was almost done applying the 100, or so decals, the hull comes apart, and as I try to fix it, I crush the hull with a clamp! After that, I put it away, and I haven't looked at it in a year or so, but I will fix it some day, maybe after this kit of an airliner, something easy to get back into the groove again.

[@hpiguy]

I really enjoyed this kit, would happily build another one. I have the big one, the clear one for lights but simply no time to make it. I do think AMT makes a big aztec decal set for it, to make life easier if you want aztecs. But I could be wrong.

[@cjdavis2684]

I have this kit, also from Round 2 although where it did come with he same decal sheet. it did Not come with a stand. So I'm having to scratch build a stand for this kit. BTW that was the Navigational sensor array you were talking about. if you look up photos of the studio model that was sold at auction it shows in full color the of the model from every angle possible. Also there is a video on youtube of this kit where a modeler shows step by step where he drilled out all the view ports after doing the decals and assembling the kit and he filled the ports with krystal clear and lit this little model up. Currently I'm working on both this kit which is awaiting a primer coat from the airbrush soon as the weather warms up and I can get into the shop. and also I have the round 2 22 inch cutaway TOS Enterprise. which was a gift from my niece and her husband for Christmas. which I have cutaway the inaccurate interior and glued the hull parts together to turn it into a full hull kit. which is to scale to the AMY 1/537 refit. but am converting some parts to turn it from the production Enterprise to the pilot version. and intend to light it up.

[@darthvestius7771]

I have the old model kit Enterprise D in 1/1400 scale. Doing a sort of refinish. Appling the Aztec decals and then registry decals, then a light seal coat... Enjoy all your work on the great starships... LL&P

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Darth!

[@THXSwitch625]

Got this kit for Christmas and I’m excited to start it! Great video!

[@SeansModelBuilds]

Looks a lot better than my old 2500 scale Enterprise-D from 1994, which had minimal decals.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching! The decals make it so much easier.

[@jeffreyfolck3278]

Just a quick THANK YOU for this video. At the start of COVID, I thought, what a perfect time to build a model. It took me weeks to collect all of the elements to make this (paints, tools, the actual model itself) which was no easy task while in lockdown (those easy to find craft acrylic paints? Yeah not so much during COVID lol) but I did get them all eventually. I must have watched this video like 20 times, but the result speaks for itself. I have an absolutely beautiful Enterprise -D model now... and I really, really enjoyed doing it. So much so that it has inspired me to do more! The -C is next and then we will see about going bigger. Thanks again for doing this video... it helped immensely, and I'm very pleased with the final product!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jeff, glad you found the fun in modeling again!

[@averagemodeler]

I have got to get another. I lost the d and e in a house fire. But, like you always my favorite.

[@hpiguy]

[@thomasloney612]

9:36 I don't know if you mentioned this in the video, but the left nacelle looks like it has a mold defect on it. I only noticed it because I bought the 7 Enterprise set, and the D has the same issue. I thought it was something I had done to the model.

[@sci-fimodeler1701]

Dude u t awesome, i have been following you for several weeks ever since I saw the easy way to make shiny cars with spray cans! When you did your review of this model and I saw all the decals I just had to get it. I just walked out of Walmart with the metallic paints and I plan on doing the same thing you're doing. Keep the videos coming. . Thank you

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching, I loved the kit! Appreciate the support and nice words!

[@TrekBuilder]

I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say thank you for this great tutorial. I have decided to get back into models after stopping for about 12 years, and this just gave me the boost I needed. One question to ask about the hand painting you did. Did you use a brush or airbrush on the nacelles? If you used brushes, may I ask what brand do you use? Did they leave brush marks, or no? Thanks much,

[@RobertMossack]

I would have worked on the seams on the warp engines to smooth them out. That being said, nice build!

[@WickedSlimShady]

I've started this kit & i have a couple of questions for you. Ive forgotten which nacelle is which, ive noticed a small square on the bottom of each nacelle just above where it will fit onto the strut. Would you say the square goes on the outer or inner side? I noticed you used Folkart Metallics, what are the color codes on these? Lastly, how did you remove the sprue on the secondary hull after you finished painting? Did you use sprue cutters or a hobby knife? I dont want cause a massive missing chunk to appear, like it did when i cut the sprue away from the saucer section. Your build looks amazing BTW, I'm hoping mine will turn out that good too. Cheers in advance.

[@felixbenvenutty1969]

I got this kit as well, was afraid to tackle it, but you inspired me to do it..thanks bro. You did a great job!

[@hpiguy]

Open it up, it's easier than you think!

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Thumbs up from me, specifically for living through all the pain of putting them decals on. Nice job.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man!

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I just recently ordered this kit, waiting for the delivery. I'm used to working with MicroSol and MicroSet, though, having seen your effects with Tamiya products, and also being fan of their products in general, I'm quite keend on trying out their decal solvents. Should I get both Mark Fit and Mark Fit Strong (maybe even Super Strong?) or wil just Mark Fit alone be enough?

[@DaveWrightKB9MNM]

Another great build Chris! I, too, along with my Mrs, we're great fans of TNG! I did build the D model but that was so long ago, I didn't keep it. As always, inspiration!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Dave!

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I'm using Tamiya's decal solvents for the first time and I'm noticing a much gentler effect on the decals than MicroSol/Set combo. It's been few hours and the decals still didn't really conform perfectly to the shape and in places the film sticks out (I specifically started working on nacelles, the very front of the forward decal slticks out slightly on the round part at the front of the nacelle) is this something I should be concerned with or simply giving them another good few hours to set should do the trick? Should I simply press them on more firmly? I'm using Mark Fit as under decal and Mark Fit Strong over decals, and I hand painted my kit using Tamiya's own acrylics, plus their acrylic rattle can gloss coat.

[@davidgilmour3954]

Looks like It's time for me to go where I have not before, and do some sci fi modeling! I really appreciate the improved content, with the emphasis on process, such as paint and decals on your last few videos. Excellent work!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching David, all models are fun!

[@chassegallerie2910]

Really good build. Nice ship. Tho, for some reasons, I always feel like the decals are a little too dark. Could it be that the grey color of the hull leak thru them, or are they too thick for this to happen? Also you stated your pref on Tamiya decal solvents. Why do you like them better than the other brands? What are Tamiya's advantages VS, let say, Microsol and Microset?

[@SeansModelBuilds]

If the decals are too dark, I will use a darker hull colour so that they don't stand out as much.

[@IamGalvatron]

Just make sure Riker stays far away from the Captains chair. Bad things happen to D when he sits there.

[@altheasergio7330]

I agree

[@117Shinigami]

For painting the nacelles, phaser banks and the shuttle bay doors could I use masking tape to make sure I don’t screw up the paint job?

[@hpiguy]

Of course, whatever helps get the job done.

[@mantismodels1207]

I'm gonna build this model kit and used Your video for a reference. I bought the paints that You suggested getting. I'm curious though.....what did You use the red glitter paint for?

[@XPERIA80]

This is a nice build and a nice kit, im just fear working with so much decal. There is decals over decals (registry number, markings) but we received no information how to handle these cases: just wait till dry the first level decal or place a clear coat over the first level decal before place the second level decal? thank you

[@hpiguy]

Lay the base decals, and when dry or nearly dry, apply the registration, windows, etc. Quite straight forward and common sense. Thanks!

[@scifimodelshop]

Wonderful looking ship ! I think you got to be real comfortable applying decals when buying this model it's on my list

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! Helps that the decals work nicely too.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

@@hpiguy This was the second ship I put decals on: my old Enterprise-D from the 1988 3 Enterprise Set.

[@mikethinks]

Wow I need to get this kit, or maybe the 7 in 1 kit that has this model in it! What are you using to get the angle on the display stand pole? Looks like a little gopro angle mount or something?

[@bobastu]

Really nice. I will have to watch The Next Generation again, in HD, to see if the ship is the "blue" of the Enterprise C or more of a grey color for my build. Yours looks fantastic, thanks for the q-tip/toothpick idea!!

[@hpiguy]

I think this would be what the filming model looked like in person, on screen it will appear much more subdued when filmed.

[@achmedazizie8919]

Hi im new to this model building, would like to ask, for the painting do u have to spray it repeatedly? Instead of waiting for one layer to cure before spraying the next layer.

[@johngrubb1590]

So cool that was the second star trek kit i did back in the 90s, i used auto paint as well did all the windows buy hand.

[@hpiguy]

Nice!

[@GenGamesUniverse]

What I like about the colour scheme for paints is that it says gold or blue for the nacelles because you can decide between either TNG Enterprise-D which had the blue colour nacelles or Generations Enterprise-D which would be a refit gold colour nacelles.

[@kurk1701a]

Great build , the decals realy lift the model, but round 2 realy should have thought about putting in alternate clear parts and a PE window drill guide for those modelers that like to light their models, maybe they will come out with an after market kit to do just that. But good on them for including the aztecing decal sheets along with the registration markings that is really nice so that the kit can turn out so good as you have done with this kit .

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@MajorDisappointmentModels]

Still in awe of your rattle can artistry. My Enterprise looks as if it got to close to a super nova and the hull is melting with all the paint runs. lol KUTGW Chris. Great towel tip.

[@hpiguy]

[@edmcdonald3550]

I loved this ship. Even when they did her up as a battleship. Love your videos keep them coming

[@hpiguy]

Me too!

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I keep posting these, I know, but I'm running into some concering issues with the decals. For example the ones around the back of the neck, secondary suttlebays (16 and 17). For some reason on my kit these were completely different shape and I had to cut them to in two pieces to get even some semblence of fit. Also earlier, with the nacelles that I already decaled, I had issues with big upper decals (59) were so long that the back portion of the center stripe curved all the way into the warp grille at the back. Did you have similar issue perhaps? Because right now I'm quite concerned about proceeding, I fear that maybe in these few years between your and my attempt at this kit the decal printing quality slipped and I'm looking at quite painful process with my model. 0:35 - timestamp to a moment in the video where you can see the decal numbers I'm refering to.

[@simonwillis1529]

Man I love when you do a vid good review for me to see said kit always great and helpful iv not even watched the vid yet👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@Jarwin_Wuhnol]

Great video! I have a question though. Why did you primer first and then use the Rustoleum: Paint + Primer? Just wondering since I'm on a budget most of the time with models kits

[@hpiguy]

Paint-n-Primer can be misleading, it's not a cure-all. I still prefer pure primer to ensure a good bond for the color layer.

[@AvocadoLemon2468]

Hi, so first you sprayed some grey automotive primer and then you painted with the winter grey spray? I bought this set and this will be my first time doing this!

[@hpiguy]

Yes I did

[@AvocadoLemon2468]

Great, which brand of automotive primer you recommend?

[@iddybox]

Awesome vid. I just picked this up. Haven’t modeled in 30 years. I noticed you are using regular Home Depot rustoleum spray paint and automotive primer. The guy at the hobby shop I bought my kit from said I had to use these small expensive Tamiya paints and primer. He said nothing else would work. I see you used them with no problem. Why did the guy need to lie to me? I’ve been waiting to build until these “special” paints show up that I ordered but are back ordered. Really ticks me off.

[@hpiguy]

I won't speak for other folks but hobby shops will sell hobby materials, so that is what they will recommend. I've been modeling for a long time and have found lots of cheaper substitutes, but I still use Tamiya sprays and Testors paints too when I want to.

Love your videos man I just watched all of your Star Trek builds and they are all great . I’m working on the refit enterprise currently.

I would stick with known clears like Dullcote that won't wrinkle decals.

[@thenovicemodeler8528]

Question for you sir! I noticed that you’re applying your primer and paint to the ship with the sprue still attached to the aft of the ship. That sprue occupies an awful lot of real estate on the ship! How did you go about compensating for the chunk of hull that didn’t get paint? If you touched it up by hand, what brand/color did you use to emulate the Rustoleum gloss coat? Thanks!

[@hpiguy]

Shoot some paint in a can and touch it up, that's it.

I'm currently working on the 1/2500 Enterprise-C. What I found is that the decals are quite thick. Did you find that with these decals?

[@hpiguy]

They went on smooth and laid down well with solvent. Didn't notice them being over thick.

[@starsiegeplayer]

When I built this a couple years ago, the decals were very thick with the consistency of vinyl. Decal softening agents would not dent them. It is good to hear that they are not using those thick decals in this kit.

[@hpiguy]

@@jamesbongiovanni5180 One thing that I found was that testors glosscote over the thick vinyl-like decals (after they fully dried, of course) not only protected the decals, but made them soften and conform.

If the base coat is at least kind of glossy you are fine. You'd want to gloss a flat coat before hand, apply decals, then reapply a flat coat.

Thank you and keep up the great videos

If you have defective decals you can always contact Round2models and discuss it. You can try spraying them with a thin coat of clear decal sealer like glosscote and see if that helps. But TEST FIRST on a spare piece of decal sheet. Using very hot tap water can also help soften them sometimes.
