the idea for getting the window piece to sit flat in there was very clever, I was impressed with how well that went.

[@danielhall5364]

I can't wait to see your painting of the model. As a kid in the 80's I can't remember how many refits I built. I could never get the paint correct. I've got a number of refit kits and add ons just waiting to see how you paint her then the get the courage to try it myself again after all these years. Thank you.

[@stevenwheaton874]

Great tips and ideas 💡 about how to approach a model like this. Thanks for sharing, Wayne. I'm enjoying this build series, being the huge Star Trek fan that I am.

[@deegee6863]

I love that Thunder Road model! It catches my eye eeeevery time!!!!

[@mrtrek2117]

It's looking great!

[@DronemanJoeRc]

Very good keep them coming.👍👍👍👍👍

[@PitstainHobbies]

I like your different approach to putting in the officers lounge photo etch, alot of other builders trim the photo etch and widen the opening in the lounge window for the part to drop in as opposed to surface mounting, looks very clean and requires less putty work it seems.

[@trmblingblustar]

I trimmed the part and used putty to make it all flush, but I agree. next time I'll probably surface mount it and try using putty to hide the edges.

Hi Wayne bis jetzt hast du viel fein arbeit gemacht , die brücke die ich übriegens richtig cool finde . Das fenster hinten und die Beleuchtungsoberflächen und an der seite finde ich richtig gut. Ich freu mich auf weitere Videos.

[@steve1315]

Good work looking nice.

[@MartinFutter70]

Nice progression so far, keep at it 👌

[@shanehills2698]

Thanks!

[@mattalki]

Hi Wayne! One important thing to remember is to mask any of the pegs and peg holes that you use to assemble the final ship, especially the dorsal and nacelles. The pins are designed to exactly fit, and if you get any paint in them, they will not fit at all. Don't ask how I found this out. 🙂 Nice work so far!

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. Already advised on that so masked them up

[@mauromalito5653]

Great videos, I´ll use your videos as a guide to build mine

Looking good. Have to cut out for the navigation and thruster lights also.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

No. I have small SMD for them so I will be using a micro drill through the wall

[@majorpain9016]

@@WorldofWayneUK I got the movie grade lighting (mega board) kit. It came with 3mm LED’s so I had to cut them. Definitely a time consuming project. Looking forward to watching your build

[@jimmyporter8941]

Great stuff Wayne. Could you put some more light on with the next video? I think it needs more light for the fine details here than you need for the partworks construction vids.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I actually had to tone the light down as it was blowing out the white balance and losing some of the detail. Shouldn't have that problem once the shine is off and it's primed

[@Jedidaddyo]

@@WorldofWayneUK , Perhaps a side light that will create some shadow in the detail. I know, lighting can be difficult especially when you get to the smaller details and closeups.

[@milanondrak5564]

Do you have the officers lounge to go behind those officers lounge windows? If you don't I recommend you use tracing paper behind the widows to give them a nice flat light diffusion.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I will be yes

[@edwardbellamy5154]

looking good where can you get this from and what price thanks

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It’s $99.99 . It was available on Amazon in the UK but it’s hard to get stock at the moment. Keep an eye at at Wonderland models

[@jameshebert5430]

👍👍, There seems to be no life forms on this desert planet captain!

[@viswanathanpather6849]

Like the approach you have used onnthe offers lounge. Very interested to know what adhesion promoter you using. I know a lot of the USA guys swear by a brand called Bulldog. But us UK guys are not able to get hold of that . Interested to see what you use.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I use a CA glue from a company here called The Range. It sets clear and drys quick

[@viswanathanpather6849]

@@WorldofWayneUK I go to the Range quite a lot. Do you mean ' Adhesion promoter from the range? " If so is it The Range's own brand? Thanks for the reply?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

@@viswanathanpather6849 ahh sorry I misread your first comment . No I used amzn.to/3DgJoNP from Amazon

[@viswanathanpather6849]

@@WorldofWayneUK Thank you. I just happen to have about 3 cans of this already.

[@DronemanJoeRc]

Your 350 scale minitures do you know of any other source in amerca i can get some from?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Not in America. I believe they post to the US though

[@DronemanJoeRc]

@@WorldofWayneUK thanks, the last time i ordered something from EU or even Asia it took a arm and leg in shipping and took forever. Im sure i can find something on amazon or a hobby store. Hope your build is going good. I started mine im in the middle of the full aztec masking and omg thats a bitch very time consuming.

[@scottmac2186]

Hi Wayne do you know the KZbin channel otaku builder if not take a look at his refit polar lights enterprise and paint job

[@timwhalan6417]

👍🏻👏🍺

[@msrushing989]

Did you anneal your photoetch parts?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Not on the piece you see here but for the smaller pieces I will. I won’t use a torch though. Good old fashioned oven for me

[@chrisgwilliam9893]

[@kineuhansen8629]

the top of my saucer for enterprise d from eaglemoss is alomst finish now i wonder where the enterprise d 1701 should be i asume is a sticker or something

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I am guessing a decal or sticker

[@shadowkast9511]

This video may be of help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYewqpiGermij6c The Smithsonian curator also mentioned that they to put out on the web somewhere the paint colors that were used.

[@MegaSavonarola]

To bad they don’t make an Enterprise D in this scale it would be so much better than that disaster Eaglemoss D

[@milanondrak5564]

Agreed, the Eaglemoss Enterprise D was awful. The issue with that one is the panels are supplied separately from each other so when it's put together the gaps between the panels show and the lighting is bad on the warp nacelles too.

[@johngrendowicz7188]

How can you scale a model at 1:350 when the item has never been built and never will

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It’s a very good point

[@stephenhester9804]

There have been Technical Breakdowns on the Enterprise so I'd assume the Dimensions came from that.

[@marcblackburn5920]

There is plenty of literature that breaks down the dimensions of Star Fleet ships. It’s the same concept for any sci-fi model. Real or not, with the fake dimensions you can break it down to the proper scale.

[@FMChimera]

Because dimensions of the ship are often integral to the story telling (this isn't JJ Abrams) and so were established mostly from day one. In this case the mid-1960's.
