Lou, I’m a new subscriber and an old kit builder from the 70s thru the 90s and have built my fair share of Enterprise ships.....Thank you for sharing your very nice build, methods and skills, I haven’t built a kit since around 99 and was collecting diecast aircraft and just about all of those Art Asylum and Diamond Select Star Trek Starships. After viewing your build of the Pike Enterprise I’ve ordered this kit and a few others and have that fire to build this kit and a few others after many years of being away from modeling.....😎

That's fantastic Steven! We really are in a new golden age of model building these days, and the kits are made so much better (typos aside - hee, hee) just grab a kit and dig in

The Raised Detail is Featured on the CGI Model. The Idea behind this is that the Raised Elements are meant to be painted or you have the option of using and contouring the Decals. Beast

Not a typographical error but a grammatical error (they printed what they intended - it was just wrong!) Funny Tamiya X19 Smoke features so heavily - the day the video was posted I took delivery of 4 pots of it for my 2' B7 Liberator. It's great stuff but not "clear black" as you state - it tends to shift greys into brown slightly but is great for "space grime" weathering. Looking forward to next week's thrilling instalment 👍

Lou Dalmaso The Star Trek Universe along side Stars Wars are Ones that Have Now Been Hypothetically Split into Infinite’s! So as We’ve Been Given a New Captain Pike Era Enterprise it Seems Appropriate to Christen Her as The Neo Constitution as She Essentially Shares the Same Aesthetics? There will always be a Constitution in Every Universe it’s as Inevitable as Possessing Opposable Thumbs and Talking Raccoons! Best

Great build as always but I have to confess, aztecing on a TOS era ship just never feels right to me. I actually loved the paint scheme as it was at the end of Part 1 of the build where you just saw the panel lines; I think adding the registration decals to it at that point and calling it done would have made for a great retro interpretation of the ship.
@aztekdummy4 жыл бұрын
I'll no doubt go that route on a future build. I like the clean lines, too.

Great looking Enterprise Lou. That aztec work sure looks rather tedious but well worth it I see. I like your choices for colors. I've now seen several versions of this build out there and everyone has a different interpretation which is the way it should be I guess. Have you seen the new 1/32 Galileo shuttle from Polar Lights? It looks like you could do some of your lighting magic with that one.

Good update. Can't wait to order a set of the templates. Would it be better to pretty much paint the saucer and probably others before assembly? Wonder if there's an easy way to create masks for all the decals to not use any...

yes, i would recommend painting the saucer separately. it was a lesson learned.

That's an intense amount of work but the results are mind-boggling. I am a sucker for a ship all lit up, a floating city in space. I for one, am very much looking forward to your "all in" PikerPrise. Are you just using the ship as it appears on your TV/monitor as color ref? Or that with the box, or other sources?

little of everything. it's tough to get the screen look, because just by the way they change the lighting on the CGI, it can look very different. In the good old days, I'd defer to the filming model. Alas, those days are gone

OK, I'm a model railway builder now...mostly. A lot has changed in the long years since my last Star Trek build. I'm wondering, and this may have already been asked, but would it work to paint the interior of the shell black or dark gray to eliminate some of the hotspots or light leaks? I'm stupid. Enlighten me. Thanks.

I prefer the aluminum tape for interior light block, but painting certainly works on the hot spots. On the light leaks after the parts are together I use the tulip liquid

I'm rewatching this several times as I wait for your masks to arrive on the slow boat to Australia which is now 1/2 as slow as it used to be because of Covid.
