Hey Man, from one aspiring KZbin model-maker o another - great video! As to the waterslide decals: I always add a light spray of glosscoat on the areas that I want to lay down the decals. It helps them slide around easier. This is REALLY important when you're doing large decals - like the Aztec ones used with Star Trek ships. Being able to manipulate them is important. I also really like that color you chose. One of the things I want to cover on my channel is the 'perceived' vs 'actual' colors. Since most of the original Trek ships were physical models, the lighting played a huge part in what the 'perceived' color of the ship was on screen. Funny enough, I had this kit when I was a kid. Actually, It was the last one I did because it was such a frustrating kit. As you probably know, the 90s was a lawless wasteland for quality control in Star Trek models, and it REALLY showed in the Danube Class runabout model kit. It was so mismatched and poorly made - and I didn't have the skills or tools to fix it. But after I got back into them a few years ago I rebought both an original 90s kit release, and a couple of the recent releases from Round 2. Anyway, great video and I look forward to seeing more from ya!

Oh, just as an FYI: The NX-72003 would be the U.S.S. Danube. Typically the first ship in a class is named for the class.

I have this kit, need to build it. I'll be following your build. I actually have a few issues of The Blueprinter magazines. Yeah, I'm old. I'd be glad to send you one or two if you wanted to check them out. #Enterprise.

Awesome! Would love to see some pics! I will say, the nacelle grills, after several builds now I have concluded that the blue is probably best painted on the inside of the piece. It's just very very hard to get the paint to lay in all those grooves!

I had a fun time building this - time consuming during the masking and painting stage. There is lots of reference material online, The Christies photos were a lot of help with the painting the colors. The Runabout was a lot more colorful than I'd thought. Are you putting an interior or lighting this? Good luck with the build.

Thank you for the comment! For interior lighting, I decided against it as the model is pretty hollow and I would have wanted to build a bridge and put figures in it.. I just chose to keep it more in-line with how it looked on screen :)

@@thescifimodelguy I have a build log on here of the one I done years ago. I was happy with the results.

Hi, are you going to do an interia or kit bash one

@thescifimodelguy 2 ай бұрын

Hi Richard! I have to admit, I needed to look up the word interia... learn something every day! As for the kit, I did decide to weather it with some damage, so I'm not sure what that would be labeled as. It's not so much of a kit bash....maybe "customized" would be more apt..? Anyway I can't wait to show it... there's a sneak peek picture in the community tab if you're interested
