I shall call it.... Mini V!

So, off we go again, USS Voyager NCC74656, for the 4th time....

And this time, shrunk....

To give you and idea, here's the print for this build and the previous edition for comparison.

Oh, yes, and I'm going to light it up

Great a model with lights looking forward to see your progress.

USS Voyager, To Boldly Go Home.....

Great to see another Voyager being launched.

I am looking forward to seeing how this project turns out.

Watching!

Cybergrinder · Apr 20, 2025

So, starting at the rear (since that's the trickiest with lighting) here's the top of the "wing" prepped

Cybergrinder · Apr 21, 2025

Additional step, and my solution for plastic/paper bonds. I've secured the wires using insulation tape, which is of course, plastic. Using some plastic model glue I've paper strips over the insulation tape. As you can see it's discoloured due to the model glue. But when the part is glued on I will have prevented the model glue bleeding through to the actual part

And now the wing mostly complete, just the impulse engines and few greebles to go

Cybergrinder · Apr 23, 2025

After the first impulse engine there was a lot of light leak, so here's my solution

(which works)

mijob · Apr 23, 2025

Oke what did you do to solve the light leaks?

Cybergrinder · Apr 23, 2025

The black paper you see sticking out is glued to the cardboard wing, covering the sides of the LED

Which scale is the model?

Cybergrinder · Thursday at 12:33 AM

@Revell-Fan It's Christine's template, so listed at 1:800. I've reduced the print. Here's a comparative pic

I'd guess it's about 60% of the original, if some one wants to do the maths?

This is going to be sooooo cool when you're finished.

Looking forward to seeing how the model looks with the LEDs. :animated:

And impulse engines attached, bit trickier due to the size
