[@Jonhobbs64]

I can't wait to see it finished! #ENTERPRISE

[@TimBloom-o9q]

Looks like it's going to be a neat & interesting build! #ENTERPRISE

[@zojrush]

Looking forward to seeing this build. Love the Galactica! Love the #ENTERPRISE

[@rondempsey1867]

#enterprise Good Luck with your Channel!

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you Ron!

[@CaptApril123]

This was the first model I bought from my first job in high school washing dishes, must have been around 1979

[@thescifimodelguy]

Do you still have it ?

[@upstatescalemodeling]

Another awesome video. Thank you!! #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you so much!

[@NameWomanAddressShoe]

What a great video. Great job Shawn #ENTERPRISE or as it will be USS Burton !! Hahaha

[@michaeldexter2544]

If you're ever in the mood to build another Galactica, the Moebius version of the TOS Galactica is the same scale, but much better-engineered and more accurate.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Hi Michael, Sorry for the delayed response. . . Yes, I have heard that from some folks and some of the videos I found definitely prove the Moebius to be superior. but I'm glad to be giving this old kit some love :)

[@larrywarner796]

Great channel! I’m Richie Poole’s friend who shot the photos in our carport in the 70s in Phoenix, Arizona - #ENTERPRISE!

[@thescifimodelguy]

Oh wow nice! Must be a great memory :)

[@paulcrawford5865]

Enjoy watching you're channel. I like the original Galactica design. #ENTERPRISE!

[@arohk1579]

I had this kit as a kid, I still have the Viper. I still love the show and the kits. #ENTERPRISE

[@Prowler901]

This is one that I kick myself for not getting when it came out. Glad to see you building it. #ENTERPRISE

[@michaeldexter2544]

Looking forward to the build! The filming model of the Galactica was 6 feet long. #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

Yes! I saw some pictures of it when doing the research for this build. Absolutely amazing. Those folks have some real talent.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

I've found you when looking for an #ENTERPRISE build to follow, how fitting you'll soon be celebrating your 1000th subscriber with an awesome build!

[@ardenstreet7942]

Fun channel to watch. Enjoyed watching the Constellation build. #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you Arden!

[@ttdallen]

I put several of these together when I was a kid. Even then I was always slightly bugged by the fact that it’s pretty inaccurate. I was very happy to see when Mobius released their version, they were a lot more faithful to the show model. 😊 #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

Yeah, I would love to have a Mobius one. They're kind of tough to find. And although they are FAR more accurate (and have clear parts for lighting), in a way I'm kind of glad to be giving this old 45 year old model the build it deserves.

[@jggmobile]

I bought this model back in 1979 at a little hobby shop at pier 39 in San Fran. Really fun build. Great channel! Looking forward to it. #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

Hi JGG! Thanks for the comment! If you can, can you edit your comment to be "#ENTERPRISE" ? You entered it with a "Z", and that won't come up on my search when I collect all the names to put them in a randomizer to determine who gets the kit :)

[@jggmobile]

@@thescifimodelguy Thanks! That was dumb.

[@charlesrichardson4839]

#ENTERPRISE Looking good so far on this build. As for panel liner you might try Dark Grey since this is a white model , it seems to give a better result for me.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you, Charles! That's an excellent suggestion. And if I want to change it up to black in some spots, using gray first will allow that... wouldn't work the other way around. Thank you again ! 🙏

[@leo2a7dk]

Nice model. Remember to use a gloss undercoat when using panel liner. Then you will get the capilary action and flow. Let dry for a while, then cottonbud it. Can be used with matt, but you will a more spread like action. can be useful. But, beware...

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you!!! 🙏

[@glennhann938]

Congrats on the channel growth #ENTERPRISE

[@michaelgershon870]

GIve it a good gloss coat. Use the panel liner. Let it dry and then remove the excess with mineral spirits on a rag for larger areas and a Qtip for more detailed work. The gloss coat is key, as a Satin and a Matt coat will stain the surrounding paint. Try it first on some hidden areas to get a feel.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you, Michael !

[@TedsNerdWorld]

Your short for this just came through my suggestions! Looks like I got some vids to watch!

[@thescifimodelguy]

Hi Ted! Wow I'm so sorry, I didn't respond to this earlier! thank you so much for the sub!

[@nathanwilkins3039]

Looks like a pretty easy build. #ENTERPRISE

[@smokeypc73]

Will be watching this build. I have a cupboard full of Moebius models waiting to be built. #Enterprise. 👍🏻

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you!!!

[@theor4258]

Great job, white paint? On the tv she looked white, the original model was light grey. But with the wash it will turn out just fine. O yah, #ENTERPRISE

[@thescifimodelguy]

I'm hoping so! I'm going to go with another viewer's suggestion and use a gray panel liner instead of black. Adding that should reduce the impact of the white somewhat. Colors are always tricky; the actual model colors used in filming are not what ends up on the screen, and I'm aiming (usually) to go for screen-accurate.

[@williamcurry4868]

Great to see the old gal getting Some love and respect here, I will be curious to see how it turns out compared to the newer versions that have come out more recently. Oh yeah, #ENTERPRISE Also, didn’t realize Monogram was a part of Revell and still exists somewhat?

[@Trekmods]

I have a friend who builds train sets as well. The level of detail is amazing and he makes local scenes from around Ontario where we live. Maybe I can convince him to add the #enterprise.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Model train builders are in a class of their own when it comes to realism. I stare at those sets and could just get lost in there.

[@gapafterdark2034]

Nice update

[@MarkSchuler]

Great channel #Enterprise

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you, Mark! Sorry for the delayed response!

[@MarkSchuler]

No problem.

[@sci-fimodeler1701]

I remember back in the late 70s seeing this in the toy store in NY. I never owned one until this past year and built it. I posted a video on it. ENJOY THE BUILD! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKqmep-Mard-nKs

[@thescifimodelguy]

Subbed! Thank you ! The ship turned out great! I love the "red alert" theme you went with. Good touch!
