Once again thank you so much for supporting the channel for 5 years.
AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR SWING BY

[@glomelino]

Maybe you'll lose subscribers, maybe you won't, but you just gained one. Like you, I grew up with TNG and it forever shaped who I am. You have a ton of passion and the skills to match. Great job so far.

[@mytdck1]

You do you brother! Those of us who love your passion and art are just glad to be along for the ride!! Until next time…

[@joehenry9546]

I love these Star Trek Builds!

[@taylors-workshop]

I am so glad you are doing the Enterprise D. When those hanger doors opened and the Enterprise lights came on I cried as all the memories of sitting down as a kid with my Dad to watch the next episode of the next generation just came flooding back, and we all knew then that episode 10 was going to be amazing, and I was not disappointed one bit. looking forward to the next vid.

[@VoodooGTR3]

I get you. I am 39, pushing 40 soon. I have a full time job and I have 5 kids and 2 grand kids. I am busy with life. I get maybe 1-2 days to work on Gunpla alone. I have always wanted to revisit the D, lol. Because I built it back in the 90s as a birthday present when I was 10-13 years old. And you are doing it justice, my dude. To be honest, I have been interested in getting back into ships, spaceships and modern aircraft again. I built all of those when I was young. But I want to go all out, now that I am an adult. Follow your path. Because those who enjoy your work, will stay. I know I am

[@isfj1009]

Following you on this build! And yeah, RIP Star Wars.

[@jasons5632]

I'm honestly super stoked to see this! I snagged a 1/1400 vintage D at the last IPMS show here in VA, though it's not in clear. I've been excited and TERRIFIED of doing this kit lol As for you not putting out as much content because of the new little one, bah life live my dude. Spend the time with your kid, before long they'll be slamming the bedroom door and telling you to give em space. But share your hobby with them when they get old enough. I'm 49, my son's 10, and he's already into building kits with me. He's built about 6 gundams on his own now (with a little of the dad magic when he can't get a part to fit right)

[@swpowell1226]

Thanks for doing this model. You do whatever makes you happy. Your viewers will be here. Thanks again.

[@antpurrz]

Your work with the gundams is great, but the amount of love you have for these Star Trek builds shows 110%. Your techniques are great and give off a zen vibe when the music starts playing. Thank you for yet another great video 👌🏾 Family comes first, always.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

A thing to note when masking the windows from the inside you can also use masking fluid as well. It will take less time than masking tape but doesn't have the possibility of accidentally falling off if the adhesive on the tape fails.

[@rockbuildaz7115]

Absolutely stunning brother. How those windows look with the lighting sheesh, has to be memorizing to look at. I felt your love and emotion going into with this video. Took me back as a boy watching star trek in my bunk bed with my boys. 😓 Touched my heart with this one. Stay blessed stay fresh.

[@davidpalmer4184]

I tip my hat to your patience. Most of us would have given up and cried after your initial paint issues. Please keep up this level of work but only if it doesn't dominate your family life. Please keep in mind that no one in history has ever said "I wish I had worked longer hours" while on their death-bed. Love from Australia.

[@bobbygee2528]

This kit is back in production again...

[@OtakuBuilder]

After I finish voyager yes👌🏾✨️

[@franco3584]

What's almost as Impressive as the Paint work you've done is the " Save " after the initial paint work 😀👍

[@jameslauramore4277]

Im a father myself! That said my friend As samwise gamgee once said to frodo "Dont you go where i cant follow"

[@alid2756]

It's always a joy seeing another Trekie working on an Enterprise D model. Keep up the good work.

[@setsuna200]

The Enterprise with th nost screen time combined. She is beautiful ship. I can see the love you have put into her. As Bones said "now you treat her like a lady and she will always being you home". Gene Roddenberry put his heart into how this Enterprise came out. I cant wait to see her finished. You earned a subscribestar today.

[@john3717]

I build every thing from tanks and airplanes to gundams and waifu figures. You should never feel suck or limited when it comes to your hobbies. Build what makes you happy we are here for your passion not which kits you choose

[@aaronvandoorn1276]

This is my 4th Orpheus time watching this video Looking forward to the next one

[@MotionPictureMiniatures]

Nicely done, and thanks for the kind words! I'm certain you'll do the Enterprise D proud with this project 😎

[@OldGamingGeezer]

This looks fantastic. great job.

[@bamikroket]

A 1/1400 Romulan Warbird would be cool, but you would probably need a bigger workspace :)

[@JoesGunpla]

This is such a spectacular build for a spectacular ship from a monumental series! I can tell how much this build means to you and I absolutely love that you are sharing the experience and the process with us.

[@darknessiscoming15]

Watching your videos has inspired me to return to model building after 15 years and even go that one step further and invest in learning how to paint and light them. Keep up the great work. I'll continue watching your videos regardless of how long it takes.

[@ilpoomatili9549]

In case you don't yet have the new neck I would recommend the one from modelwerks because it has shuttle bays included in it. Of course only if you want them and you can get someone to print it

[@AdamB9098]

Great video! Lots of fun to watch and so much effort and skill put into your build, thanks for sharing.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

Greetings and hats off to you for making it through such a set-back. The model in clear plastic seems even trickier than the "regular" 1:1400 scale "-D". However, it does look amazing and I'm having to watch and tag along. Cheers and all the best! LLAP!

[@starbuster0121]

This is AWESOME!!!!!

[@Brian_Buckley]

I love that you changed the window colors! also, the azteking...wow thats one where you really gotta trust the process....half way through i was like....Ehhhh... then the finished product was OUTSTANDING!!!!! Holy cow! cant wait for the next part!!

[@djroquel]

I'm always waiting for the next video bro! you have been an inpiration to me and my journey to gunpla and other scale models. God bless you and your family. Until the next one.

[@Tozerus1]

this was fantastic!

[@starsiegeplayer]

Looking forward to it

[@donavanhillman7607]

Your starship builds and your channel continue to impress and inspire me. As a fellow life-long Star Trek fan and starship modeler, your builds shine over many others. They are unique in the best ways possible. Passion, love, and contentness always comes through and is visible and tangible. Thank you for continuing to share your skills, talents, and passions with us here. Bless your family, and take your time. Good things come to those who are patient. Real life always comes first. Looking forward to part 2.

[@DrFeelGoodHelpDesk]

I'm glad you're able to tackle your Enterprise. The D was never my favourite (I will always love the Refit, I grew up watching the films with my dad and that got me into model building). Your work is outstanding, really inspiring and I can't wait to see the next steps.

[@Leescreativeart]

Here with you, dude! Love the story of the filmmaking love the model kits love your sharing of being a father. I think that’s my new favorite part of your videos hearing you sacrifice things for your son. It’s great will wait patiently for the Contant content ever try using Siri voice text while driving? It doesn’t always come out great lol

[@zerocool4life]

Thunder road. Love the fact that you share with us your passions. I will always keep your channel as subscribed

[@MathiasConrad-pm1hp]

Keep doing what you are doing. It is always enjoyable, and inspiring!

[@theforerunners5171]

Oh man, MicroMachines! I had all those when I was a kid! Love it ❤

[@NealTK]

Awesome! Keep up the good work. She's gorgeous so far. Never stop enjoying. I'm a fellow guy in his 40s who grew up with TNG, and you're right Picard was a success. I never thought I'd see them all back together.

[@GodEmperorDingle]

Your star trek model builds have been some of my favorite you've done. Keep up the good work dude! Looking forward to part 2.

[@ajc4477]

Lovely work mate, really enjoying watching someone who knows what they're doing. About 25 years ago I was asked to do a repair on the Enterprise C filming model at a travelling Trek exhibition here in Ireland, unfortunately the miniature was way to damaged for me to do anything. Whilst I was there we had to send the large Enterprise D model back to Paramount, about 4 of us had to physically lift it up and put it in it's custom packing crate. I remember feeling very happy with myself, actually getting to handle such an iconic original model.

[@MichaelHeal99]

Love your passion for the build. Just subscribed. Hope you keep having fun.

[@scavenger21xx]

Wow your phaser bank photoetch fit perfectly, mine had a gap on the starboard side.

[@michaelt.lancaster9776]

I remember building the Enterprise-D when TNG first started. I didn't know what I was doing back then when it came to modeling. It was pretty basic. She was accidentally knocked over and destroyed when Generations was in theaters. I'm tempted to do a rebuild because of this video and Picard S3.

[@mholden020]

Man...I feel like I just post the same comment on every video but you just keep on putting out some outstanding work. I found your channel in late 2020 and picked up a gundam kit in 2021, I just finished my 50th Bandai kit last week using loads of painting tricks I've picked up from your videos. I understand why you might not like long spans between videos but my dude, there's no need to be down about that or apologize. I love seeing your updates on social media and when the videos come out it's such a treat. Thank you for everything you do, keep on doing it, and keep on inspiring the rest of us to find our passions and enjoy an amazing hobby.

[@davidjames1389]

Fantastic work with those aztecs, and the colors look spot on. I'm dying to start on the D as well, but I'm deep into the 350 Refit so am trying to stay focused on getting that done first.

[@scottlarmore5038]

This might seem weird, but I’ve got this playing in the background while i paint warhammer minis lol

[@neon_lavander]

During covid I had to find things to do, so as first contact is my favourite star trek film I decided to watch TNG on Netflix, I watched all 7 seasons it's now my favourite star trek show and is the reason that the Bhrams line and anti borg fleet are some of my favourite ships, more recently I've watched Picard, I loved season 3, as well as DS9 which I'm going through at the moment and equally enjoying, however there was a bit of a sadness I felt watching DS9 S3 E10 defiant because I think it's probably the last time I'll ever watch something new to me with Riker in it and that's sombre in a way. Nevertheless I love the Galaxy class and its contemporaries like the challenger, new Orleans and Chyenne classes, less so the freedom As much as I love first contact, the D is my enterprise even if I didn't particularly grow up with it

[@bascodelagamma]

👍

[@nathanwilkins3039]

Thanks for sharing your passion. The D and TNG is what got me into my love of Star Trek as a kid and yes season 3 of Picard was great. I must of re-watched the unveiling and launch of the Enterprise D in the episode, "Vox" at least 50 times. I've built the kit your currently building as well as well as the 2016 version and they are brittle(and yes the aztec decal application does test your patience). Round 2 is going to re-release her in a milky white plastic that is also supposed to be able to easily light. Look forward to part 2.

[@HydroCannon58]

Amazing work as always! Still sticking with you as a subscriber! You are one of my main inspirations for making build videos! I also support having to break down your videos into parts, we can all relate that life will not make things easy with the time we have. I relate specifically as a video editor and having to balance my work and life stuff. Keep on going strong my dude!✊

[@lewilsons]

That Saucer came out sweet. I have one kit at this scale and one of the 1/600 scale sitting in the closet to build. Thanks for sharing this - I just went over to Motion Picture miniature's website...uhg! more money to spend 🙂

[@OtakuBuilder]

Right on!

[@edwinchampeau8685]

I piked up the latest version of this kit with the new base

[@benjaminyoon4253]

This is looking really good. All of your color choices for the different areas of the saucer are spot on, at least to my eyes. I loved that you toned down the aztecs. I noticed that a lot of modelers don't do that. That's their choice but to me, those patterns should be toned down to act more as accents. Adding the blue lights to some of the windows came out nice. I think that may have been part of the "Generations" studio model upgrade.

[@nub_gamers5457]

I always clean my kit before painting cause I don't want any dust to stick on it

[@134StormShadow]

Subscription earned. 🖖 LLAP

[@stefanweber6479]

Part 2. Pleace!

[@kevmodels]

Mammoth effort on masking this section

[@boxmann5097]

I can tell you put your heart and soul into this build my brother, your paint work is second to none. So many facets to getting it right including wiring, lighting and soldering U the Mann congratulations.

[@edbe7385]

Very cool I can see why this going to take 4 months. I haven't built this one but with the clear variant of this and the plastic being more fragile is there any need to re-enforce some of the parts that could potentially sag down the road? I was thinking some copper tube or thick flat stock could be glued into the kit to keep it true over time. I wish this kit was more widely available.

[@wayne0220]

Im waiting to see an update on this one!

[@OtakuBuilder]

It well be awhile. But please stay tuned 👊🏽💙

[@wayne0220]

@@OtakuBuilder will do!

[@mikewalton6856]

We didn’t get burned with SW! What are you talking about?! TLJ is some of the best SW material since its inception.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

Just wow. I've seen those MPM 4-tone masks before but boy, oh boy, did they turn out nicely. On a scale from 1-10 (1=easy-peasy & 10 impossible), how difficult would you rate the overall application, please?

[@Epicgamekiller]

You know I'm not a big fan of star trek but anything sci-fi I love but never had the chance to really sit down to watch it but Star wars the new stuff sucks clone wars loved it Mando but you do you and just enjoy the stuff you do I may not be a fan but I know my step dad would love this if I did it for him me personally don't care what people says bc everybody is different but keep doing what you love

[@aaronvandoorn1276]

Question why would you lose subscrevers I You're amazing artist I hope mine turns out this as well

[@joshuabekel9700]

Access or excess???

[@James-rn7dx]

Did you ever finish this kit?

[@OtakuBuilder]

I well👌🏾💙

[@laurenfazenbaker9777]

I hope you show more of the final finish build than you did on the refit because i really wanted to see the shuttle bay and arboreum all lit up and the 35 seconds of final build footage was extremely anti climactic after two videos of waiting to see ALL the details of the whole completed model. I was soooo let down that i didn't get to see every detail of the finished build all lit up . The final result should have been 10 minutes of footage from every possible angle instead of a quick motion picture fly by. I was totally invested in seeing the outcome in detail and it was taken away by the fly by reveal. 😢 I mean...why invest so much time into the shuttle bay and arboreum if they're not going to be on camera at the end?

[@Barbariandisks]

Why are so many modeling pros, scared to actually paint the aztec pattern on that model? /Smh. I did on the original non clear release of that ship back when it originally came out.
