Looking good! I use toothpicks as glue applicators

I use tooth pics Stretched sprue, paint brushes, what ever works.

Please keep sharing the details and suggestions. They are very valuable!


Nice build progress...

She is looking good Funny though, I think the "square"pylons (Ent B, C & D) would be easier but I've never built a model with them!

Here's a tip for those who build this after me.

In the below pics the instructions are clearly wrong the indicated bit just shouldnt be there as it stops the sauce joining!

Now to surgically remove it...

Great tip to share!


Thanks!

That is very good to know! Thank you very much for sharing that information with us!

Here she is, in her current state, with a corrected neck connected to the body

Another tip, having an opening in the top of the neck allows you to push something down inside to push the side out to meet each other

Tonight's progress

Looks a lot more like a Starship with both hulls connected!

 

[Revell-Fan]

That looks awesome!

 

[AdmiralGR]

Nacelle update from last night

Now to repeat the whole process!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

The nacelle looks good!!!

This is an excellent, detailed build thread! Exceptional!

You provide clear, step-by-step pics, tips on kit issues, and guidance on how to best build it as it goes. This is really a valuable contribution to the kit and the community.

You demonstrate why build threads are so important!

Here she is.

USS Enterprise C warp engines were fitted this evening......

Build comments

• It's a long build - prepare for hours of work
• The nacelle page had a few "what the heck is that part for moments"
• The neck needed tweaking (see earlier post)
• Careful with the saucer, there is no give in the line up of parts don't line up 100%
• The secondary Hull is beautiful designed

A little touch-up with red paint will work wonders.
