Building the Enterprise D (Rawen's New ish Model)

[Revell-Fan]

Absolutely!

Bit or work on the secondary Hull.

Lower side and edge strips went on.

Few issues with the upper part tho.

• The 2mm Card backbone turned out to be a bit "proud" so needed cutting back - a fiddly little task!
• The Hull section that sits on top of the backbone was very tricky to stick down, tool ages and I had to do a little at a time and hold it down (in the background of the pics you'll see I was watching DS9 whilst waiting for the glue to dry!

About 2 hours of fiddly work!

 

[Revell-Fan]

She is coming together nicely.

just a bit more and she'll be ready to leave spacedock, and head to Far Point.

Possibly, I printed a second copy for that reason.

Depends how I feel when it's finished I guess!

Thank you

If I had it to build again ( which hopefully I will when the nebula versions released) I think I'd use 2mm foam board instead of 2mm Card. The D is top heavy at the best of times but the huge card disc in the saucer makes it a lump

glue a battery or small fishing weight in the tail section?

The back of the neck detail wss fiddly!

That has to be one to the cleanest Starship builds I've seen. It must be extremely sturdy. Very impressive!!!

 

[spaceagent-9]

Planetia shipyards couldn't have done it better!!

 

[AdmiralGR]

Deflector Dish installed.

Pleased with the overall fit!
