To be somewhat Enterprising....

[micahrogers]

Looks great!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Perfect!

 

[Cybergrinder]

And the deflector dish and "shoulders " attached

 

[Sky Seeker]

And now the saucer top and bottom joined

View attachment 196056

This is going to be great! Love the detail so far!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Thanks everyone, now what constitutes as the secondary hull for the NX

 

[Cybergrinder]

And the hulls attached.



Next up, warp nacelles!

 

[mijob]

Nice it's a great looking model keep on going.

 

[AdmiralGR]

This looks great. I have it printed and on my todo list!

 

[THE DC]

This is a VERY clean build!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Now the body of the warp nacelle

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I like that you recessed those areas.

 

[micahrogers]

Looking great, and I agree with RB, those recessed areas look good.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very nice!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Thanks everyone! Having watched Enterprise I had to recess the plasma conduits (I think that's what they're called)

And now the "tail" of the nacelle attached.




I have a couple of gripes with this kit, I'll run through them once it's finished.

 

[Cybergrinder]

And here we have a bussard collector. I made things difficult by shrinking the template...



And the completed warp nacelle

 

[Cybergrinder]

And with the wing attached



And now a stand I cobbled together

 

[Cybergrinder]

And she is completed!

 

[mijob]

Nice job you did on this model.

 

[Cybergrinder]

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! )

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You did a really good job on this project!
