New from TrekModeler Electronics:
This unique lights and sounds system is wirelessly controlled and will allow you to display your Polar Lights 1:350 scale Enterprise Refit or Enterprise-A model with authentic lights and high quality stereo sound effects. It is also "Plug And Play" so absolutely No soldering is required!
This system is made up of pre-wired interconnecting units that include smd strip lighting as well as standard LEDs. The system's main control board is designed to be mounted within the drive section of the Enterprise 1/350 model and is fully accessible and removable. It includes a sound board which is designed to be mounted under the stock display base or a custom display base. The sound board has a 3.5mm stereo socket for plugging in your stereo sound system or PC speakers. Finally, this system includes a custom remote controller with movie era computer interface graphics. One version for the Enterprise Refit and another version for the Enterprise-A.
A PDF (printer friendly) full color Installation Guide for preparation of the model and installation of the lights and sounds system will be emailed to customers.
The system features full interior illumination including the cargo/shuttle bay, Officer's/VIP Lounge and the Botanical Gardens as well as accurately timed strobes and running lights. It features an Intro Sequence, Power up Sequence, Standby Mode, Impulse Cruise Mode, Warp Cruise Mode, Warp Drop Mode, Tactical Mode with working Photon and Phaser firing effects as well as Red Alert Mode.
Choose between the Enterprise 1701 Refit or the Enterprise 1701-A!

I got the light and sound system and my expert builder is installing and building the 1701 refit to exact details. My model will be ready to show in October 2023 it will be the most detailed model on the planet!! I GUARANTEE IT!!!! MUCH BETTER THAN TREKMODS VERSION

[@YODAMAN5]

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW....!

[@nerdhobbies5865]

very nice. I wish it was available before i bought the 4.0 kit.

[@TrekModeler]

Thanks Elite! This v5 system is a different design from its control board down to even parts of the pre-wired harness. Unfortunately the v4 cannot be upgraded to the v5. Normally we would have no problem upgrading customers' kits.

[@captainkirk1701]

Nice!! I wish there was something like this for the 1/2500 scale.

[@TrekModeler]

Thanks guys!

[@thearikes]

I want! Very impressive!

[@flightofsight4343]

We appreciate your comment sir! Stay tuned for more cool kits like this from TrekModeler.com

[@MasterUxi]

Very cool. You have TMP perfect. I'd like an option for dish to remain blue after dropping out of warp while nacelle grills would turn off. This seems to be the behavior in ST II-VI except where Wrath of Khan reused TMP footage. Ever thought about doing the other phaser emitters? Would be cool to be able to use port or starboard phasers on either dorsal or ventral saucer. Then there's the single phaser emtters on the secondary hull: 4 on the bottom and then 2 above the shuttle bay facing aft.

[@Ambaryerno]

Agreed, the blue impulse crystal and deflector is much more iconic and representative (in fact, even in TMP most shots showed the blue dish and crystal).

Which weapon system causes more damage? A quick 1-2 blast from a phaser bank or a photon torpedo hit?...and how much more powerful is one system over the other. If you could, please rate the individual strikes on a scale between 1 and 100 (i.e. the torpedo hit against shields at full strength would be around 45 but against physical materials like an armored hull, the rating goes up to around 80-90 whereas a single blast from the oscillating phaser banks is somewhat reversed from the torpedo. A single 1-2 blast against shields at full power, we see a score of about 27 but against a ship's hull, even unarmored the rating plummets to around 12 to 15). The numbers I listed in the parentheses are generic examples of values to better illustrate the description I'm looking for. I know that at first glance, the author (me) kinda contradicts himself. "The values he (meaning "me") put up for torpedo - 45 against shields and 80-90 against hull armor and a 1-2 phaser blast is 27 against shields but against hull plating it's around 12-15...?!?!" Here's my reasoning behind those numbers...torpedos deal massive damage to whatever they hit (energy shields, physical mass/armor, not relevant at this juncture) and phasers don't have anywhere near the damage output...until you factor in rate of fire. Sure, you could squeeze off 2 torpedos for a total of 90 or you could fire off a 2 second burst then another and another and another (provided there are three 1-2 punches per second of sustained phaser fire...that's 27 damage multiplied by 3 for how many are hitting (per blast) multiplied by the two clicks of the second hand...162 times three for the three weapon discharges (neatly grouped into 2 second blasts)...carry the 2...*boom* got it. Torpedos (2 fired) comes to a maximum of 90 every 30 seconds but with phasers...from 3, two second bursts we have a damage potential of...648 max yield over the same time as it takes the torpedo techs reload. As it stands, this fictitious example of trying to find discrepancies within the anomaly for the purposes of extracting exact and precise details about a vague universe that doesn't exist. Well, I'm from the "I will continue to fire up on your ship until/unless a very specific circumstance or set of circumstances force my actions away from what I consider to be acceptable. 1: you surrender...stop laughing. 2: your ship is crippled/destroyed... I mean it stop laughing. This starship is a credible threat. 3: your ship goes beyond the range of my weapons. 4: I get orders from my boss to stop shooting you. 6: reinforcements of the "those aren't mine" variety and finally 7: my ship's weapons stop working. I didn't skip 5, it's just that number 5 is classified so I can't disclose reason 5 here, to you...on an open channel.

[@lutherfoust5483]

Of course, I recongize the sound for the video. However, the announcer (Dilithium). Engineering to all decks

[@AirwolfCrazy]

Awesome. Are there lights in the observation/ recreational deck along the back of the saucer?

[@TrekModeler]

Thanks Christopher! Yes indeed the lighting includes all of the saucer rim as well although the rec deck interior can only be purchased aftermarket. Paragraphix and Shapeways offer new interiors for the Refit and 1701-A in 1/350

[@Soulsaman]

Hi! I just bought my 1/350 kit. Are you currently taking orders? What’s the usual wait time? Thanks!

[@majorhavoc9693]

I dont like the fact that each of the LEDs is visible as they dim instead of a uniform brightness across the whole nacelle.

[@TrekModeler]

Major Havoc, as mentioned the LEDs being visible in the demo only because the clear warp grills were not diffused. Apply some dull coat or frosted glass finish to the back of the clear part for adequate light diffusion. This way the LED hot spots would be less visible or even completely disappear.

[@christopherdobinson710]

I have ZERO experience with lighting models....would this be too complicated for me? I’m an experienced modeler, I just never have built one with lights and sounds ect.

[@TrekModeler]

It would not be complicated in the least! This lighting system was specifically designed to drop right into the 1/350 Enterprise Refit/1701-A model kit section by section.

[@halcassell]

@@TrekModeler I sure hope so! I just ordered it! Is it battery powered or does it have a wall plug?

[@redrosecounty]

Seriously considered this kit as it's great, but unfortunately two fatal flaws. 1) You went for "Warm white" and actually achieved yellow", hate to break it to you but the Enterprises flood lights that light the ship and her registration even in TMP are not yellow they are quite white in fact. 2) It looks as though you are using standard LED's in places like the flood lights? They aren't nearly powerful enough and aside from the top saucer lights barely illuminate the model, were SMD's not a better idea? Fix those two issues and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
