All the extras have been added to the USS Firebrand:- The buckling on the nacelle adds to the sense of impending doom. And now the poor thing is on fire:- The rest of my day has been spent wiring bulbs and tying up fibre optics and sanding other fibre optics. Here's a wee taster with a very...

@spaceagent-9 I'll take yer word for it - lol - hot glue is yet another thing I know nothing about :confused:. @Rhaven Blaack Thank-you :). It shouldn't be too long before it's finished now - another year or two should see it done ;). Realistically, with six more ships to build, a fortnight...

On with the show... I'm doing well today - lol. My next build is D-Whale's USS Firebrand (Freedom class). This is the progress so far:- This one has a massive amount of damage so (as previously mentioned) I'm going to try fitting flickering yellow LEDs inside the hull and the nacelle. The...

@spaceagent-9 Many thanks for the good wishes and suggestions - they're greatly appreciated :). My Maw is the main one in need of care as she has an encyclopedia worth of illnesses. My dad has just pulled a muscle in his back so I'm doing all the heavy lifting that he usually does as well as the...

@spaceagent-9 Aaw shucks, I'm dead chuffed now :). Unfortunately, life is getting in the way of things at the mo'. My mum is chronically ill and I help my dad out with looking after her, but my dad is also ill just now so I'm run off my feet! I don't have any photos today as I didn't get enough...

@zathros I'm not sure if I quite have the confidence for that yet - lol - but I'll keep it in mind :) @mchale Thank-you very much :) @spaceagent-9 I dunno what they would cost in England either Jim - I'm from Scotland ;) Jings, crivens, help ma boab! lol The USS Buran would be a great...

@spaceagent-9 Aye, the Melbourne is toast! lmao @zathros Many thanks :). I did think about mounting a red LED inside the Melbourne - there just wasn't enough space, unfortunately. There might just be room inside the primary hull of the Firebrand though... And I could use up some of the 0.25mm...

@spaceagent-9 Thanks yet again Jim :). I'm back in my stride now - lol. Only seven more to go ;) I managed to get back to the cube today and I've fitted the tractor and cutting beams. The fibre optics are playing at 'Silly Buggers' and the only way I could get rid of the curve was to lead it...

Continuing the hull:- Then the finishing touches for the hull:- Just leaves the nacelles:- And here is the USS Saratoga:- This one measures 1 1/4" (32mm) from bow to stern.

@spaceagent-9 I hadn't cut out all of the parts as I was trying to figure out where they were supposed to go, but even with all the parts cut it was still totally unworkable this small. @D-WHALE I had the Enterprise B design on my laptop and went with that first. I downloaded and printed out...

@D-WHALE It's absolutely stunning Marko, a superb piece of work :)
