STAR TREK ENTERPRISE LARGE SCALE BUILD PART 1

Here is a video showing some of the modifications and upgrades to a large scale De-Boers 1701 Enterprise kit. Some crazy pearl finishing on a Large model. Plenty more to come on this one thats for sure.

Machining meets model-making, and really well done. Solving several of the weaknesses we 21st century people face when representing the future with our modern day methodologies.

Love the mother of pearl details can’t wait to see it finished

[@j.michaelpriester8973]

This is going to be stunning!!! So excited!!!

[@thebipolarbear1]

Sir I’ve seen a lot of refit models and I gotta say this is fantastic! Great job . I’m about to start another I hope it’s a quarter as good . I always have trouble with the pylons they always give out and the warp engines fall I’ll use cement this time or something lol

[@GatchamanG4]

Just found your channel. Excited to watch all videos of this build!!!!❤🖖 wow

[@APmodels]

Welcome Gatchaman. I hope you enjoy my messing about.

[@GatchamanG4]

@@APmodels Thanks!! 👍❤️🏁

[@jamiewilliams4212]

This is amazing work!! Did you use a CNC to cut the metal armature out or did you cut it by hand?

[@APmodels]

Thank you. The armature was laser cut by a specialist company to my design. I hope this helps out, and thanks for watching the videos. :-)

Beautiful job on this kit! I'm wanting to do an armature for my 1/350 refit. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this without designing it using CAD? I thought about using carbon fiber.

[@APmodels]

Sounds good. Any extra support will come in hand im sure. If your lighting the nacelles, thin carbon fibre tubes makes a great conduit for the wires, just add a few inside the pylons and root them well into the body.

@@APmodels would you have any suggestions on how to build an armature for my 1/350 Refit USS Enterprise without using a CAD program?

Next time check out Lou Dalmaso Aztek Dummy Productions. He has Aztec masks for the DeBoers kit.

[@APmodels]

Thanks man, ill check those out if i ever do another one of these !!.

[@anthonytesta3716]

Andy , did you say that you used a sheet of fiberglass in the warp engine to mute the Color?

[@APmodels]

Yes, i used a folded section of fibreglass cloth. It just removed the hot spots from the LED's and diffused the light nicely. :-)

1/350 is cool but 1/200 is going to be great:

[@Metal2Mesh]

[@APmodels]
