U.S.S. Enterprise D - Chapter 5

[@thescifimodelguy]

Please forgive the piano over my voice towards the end.... I'll correct it soon, it's just too late right now ❤ Sorry about the lack of the lighting test, folks! Rest assured that they tested successfully... please see the community posts for some pics ! And, as mentioned in the video, here is the link to the inspiration I had for the nacelle lighting strategy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLLq2aplp6CgNksi=RxSn1RqpUTHwxgdc

Great video Shawn. It really is coming out great. I use the Solarez stuff too. Really a game changer.

I'm actually getting ready to build my own here pretty soon and I love the info you gave. I also ordered my deflector from green strawberry. #Enterprise

That's great! You won't be disappointed! It hasn't been covered yet on the build, but for painting it, used Tamiya copper , and for the one clear piece, clear blue. The light behind it will illuminate it just right. It comes wirh photo etch which I did not paint as it matched the tamiya copper pretty well

@@thescifimodelguy thank you for the tips. I'm still waiting on a few more parts to come but hopefully soon. The only thing that scares me is tunneling the trenches.

[@thescifimodelguy]

@XenoZero82 it's tricky but with some patience it will turn out fine, especially if you have the photo etch pieces, which cover it up wonderfully. However looking back I do wish I'd have smoothed it out more before applying the photo etch. It's barely noticeable but is something I'll do better on next time.

I am really thinking of going all out and get U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D Galaxy class - WARP NACELLE resin kit it will solve all the issues with the fit

[@thescifimodelguy]

I need to take a deeper look at that. Maybe I'll do it on the next build of this model.

So Sean when will you tackle the 1/537 Klingon K'Tinga class Battle cruiser?

[@thescifimodelguy]

Oh boy... That's a great question! :) I honestly don't know, there are so many kits to build!
