Work on the bridge is painfully slow. I have a guide to position everything and I'm using tape to keep the wire and thread roughly in position. Each thread has to be tied off individually and secured with a dab of PVA. Once the top is dry the bottom also has to be secured with PVA. So far I'm...

@Rhaven Blaack @D-WHALE I'd downloaded Gary Pilsworth's K-7, but if there are mistakes in it I'll head to the resource section for yours Marco. I won't be starting on it for a few days as I'll have to spend a lot of time with red thread to build the suspension cables for the Golden Gate. Thanks...

@Rhaven Blaack I put a bit of thought into it; mainly I just have a really good memory - when it's in gear ;) @Revell-Fan Dinnae worry ;) - I found a proper K-7; the one in my links list was actually a mis-labelled K-47! o_O Memory Alpha suggest that it is about the same size as a connie so it...

The probe is out of the question since at 17km it would be 8.5m long even at my scale! I found Golden Gate Bridge plans on skyscraper.com and I've started on them. I considered cutting round all the girders for all of 2 seconds - I would be drawing my pension before I finished that. The two...

@spaceagent-9 Thanks Jim :), it's saved in the TWT file now.

@spaceagent-9 Yes please Jim! :) I'll get onto it after the Golden Gate bop.

I don't know what to say guys - thank you all so much! :) The next project will be a Klingon bird of prey swooping under the central span of the Golden Gate Bridge ready to release George and Gracie, but I might just put K7 on the backburner ;).

@Revell-Fan Thank-you very much :). The 'paper' is the packaging for a battery. Superglue brought out all my fingerprints over it and made much of it opaque. When I tried to dismantle a circuit board covered in LEDs the soldering iron fried them so I cut the top off one and used it for the...

@spaceagent-9 I just stuck with the thread - trying to get so many filaments ending at the same point was too much for me to face :(. Apart from anything else, I only had about 4" of 0.25mm filament left! @Rhaven Blaack Thank-you yet again :) @Revell-Fan The editor is very apt then! lol Kinda...

@zathros lmao :). That's top secret technology ;)

As will I :). I found a Golden Gate on a skyscraper modelling site, although the whales are proving problematic - a 50mm bop would need 5mm humpbacks and the smallest I've found were 10mm earrings! Unfortunately a 50mm bop also needs the central bridge span to be 0.5m long! Good luck with your...

Details of the building of the USS Enterprise can be found in "The Enterprise Incident" thread. The only real change here is the swapping of blu tac for 2mm bicone red beads with 0.25mm fibre optic filament threaded through the nacelles:- I've used Glen Jupp's pattern for the USS Defiant with...

@spaceagent-9 @Rhaven Blaack Thank you both very much! :) @spaceagent-9 You're more than welcome Jim; it's always a pleasure :D Thanks also to everyone else for all the likes throughout the post :) Now it's time to move onto my next thread...

@spaceagent-9 I've been waiting ages for this - "It's life Jim, but not as we know it!" ;) Many thanks for the Tholians :) I will indeed use the purple ones for a "Tholian Web" diorama :D The grey D7s have been built:- Now onto the bird of prey:- Partially built it looked like this:- And...

@spaceagent-9 lmao! Slow down there! :D I was thinking of a Doomsday Machine scene a few months ago and worked out that I'd need to have an extension built on the house to fit one in, even with the Enterprise and Constellation at 2" - lol. I built a larger Tholian Web with the Tholians at 3/4"...

The video is uploaded :). It can be seen here:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/linweseregon/ I've noticed that the saucer seems to have sagged a bit o_O. I did get the ''dundun-dundundt'' though Jim ;). Moving onto the remastered version, I'm lathering, rinsing and repeating with the new colour...

"A second Romulan ship is decloaking" Hopefully the green light in the torpedo launcher will show up better when I get around to shooting the video. This one is dedicated to Ziggy. RIP my wee fluffy pal. I've recoloured the D7s for the remastered version and just need to get some ink...

@Rhaven Blaack Thanks again :). It's getting there - slowly but surely. @spaceagent-9 lol You're more than welcome :) So... nacelle struts are in place and command modules are coming together. Today has been the really, really fiddly bit day - lol. Remember this lot is multiplied by three...

As always I start with the wings:- I printed enough duplicates to allow for four layers if necessary. The additional tiny turquoise pieces were taken from Wulf111's design and glued onto the back wing plate. I then started to build out from the main wing structure:- The layers start to...

@Rhaven Blaack Thank-you once again Rhaven :) I've recoloured Jim's design now and I'm ready to start shrinking and printing it. The paintwork for the command module and neck struts will just have to be stuck on after I print them on copypaper.
