To Boldly go.... Wait! I've been here before....

lovely shuttles and pods.

The shuttles and pods look AMAZING! They all turned out great!
The SURAK shuttle has quite a bit of greebling potential (even at that scale).

Clothes pegs are for positioning

So I had a wee bit of trouble with the rim, turns out there's a slight warp (pun intended) that crept in, causing the rim to "distort". I corrected this by allowing the joints to "flex" and then cutting and patching the joints. Moving on, here's the impulse engines attached



And then the pre-assembled bridge



A couple of spots that need a small patch, but coming together nicely

Nice build and great build thread!

Why do patches need to be made? Mode fit issues?


Regards!

Saucer section and warp nacelles attached



The stand completed



And she's done!



Some lit up photos to follow soon

@THE DC , patches are due to the black card I laminated with being visible, and some bulges/"doinks" due to my "surgeries" for the LEDs.

So here we go with the beauty (and lighting) shots

lit up, but with ambient lighting



And the lights off



View inside the officers lounge



The aboriuatum (or whatever... .

I love it, and too me it looks better with the lights on, hmmm maybe a multiple exposure, to get the window lights too show up under ambient light... I used to play with multiple exposures back when I had a good SLR.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]
