To be somewhat Enterprising....

Looks Great! I would be proud to display that an my shelf back home.

Now the gripes.

1 - No support pieces/internal formers. This one was ok, I think mostly due to the reduced size, but anyone who has built a Federation ship know getting the saucer right can be quite a challenge. I added a cross brace to be on the safe side.
2 - It's been lifted from a video game. While I have no issues with that in itself the placement of parts can be trickier than usual
3 - No stand!
4 - The warp nacelle "tail" is supposed to have a ball like "filling" which is missing on this kit

Ok, rant over moving onto the one that started it all, yes, the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 ( N-C-C-1-7-0-1. No bloody A - B - C - or D! )

Thanks for sharing these observations, as well as a great build thread.

The tumble was a nice touch to provide scale too.

My compliments of such a detailed build of such a tiny kit...

Off we go with the original enterprise

Shuttle bay doors complete and mounted in the hull



And pylons inserted

It looks like you are off to a great start!!!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Thanks everyone! Here's the bridge and the start of the saucer

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It looks good thus far!!!

 

[Revell-Fan]

The first ship turned out great! I think the classic one will be even better.

 

[micahrogers]

Lovin it!

Very nice!

 

[mijob]

great saucer.

 

[THE DC]

Which kit is the 1701?


A great start!

 

[Cybergrinder]

@THE DC , it's Ron Caudilo's kit, I reduced the size by 50% due to my space restrictions

 

[Cybergrinder]

And now the saucer completed




I think this is the very first saucer that I have not had any droop or warping!

 

[mijob]

Wow Cybergrinder this is indeed a verry good saucer.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It looks really good!!!

 

[spaceagent-9]

Great to see you doing these!! I would like to see a shelf pic of your other star trek builds.

 

[Cybergrinder]

@spaceagent-9 , the shelfie is coming
