Thanks guys! More pics on the way. ...once I do more work on the model.

So my 1/3200 Romulan Warbird finally arrived in the mail. I used a Zona Spiral Hand drill to plug in a couple of practice windows. After looking at both the box art and the decals I realized there wasn't much rhyme or reason to the spacing or arrangement of the windows, so I'm simply going to...

Do you know where this can be bought? I don't see it on Amazon.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Igard and stpaligurl! I, too, would eventually like to build the 1701-D clear model (I built the gray version about 20 years ago -- didn't even paint it) and light it. I figure if I keep at this hobby for a year I might be able to tackle it. Not sure. I'll...

Thanks Grendels! Wise words of advice. I've been astonished at how quickly, and how helpful, people on this forum respond. I'm worried that I bit off more than I can chew with the Warbird, but I guess I'll find out soon (it's in the mail). I built it once about...well, 20 years ago. Literally...

Good to hear, thanks! I just bought a pin vice this weekend, glad to hear that that's the tool of choice for these tiny windows. I know that Steve Neill and TrekWorks use Dremels for their windows, how do they get away with it? I'd only use a Dremel with variable speeds so that I could make sure...

Thanks for posting this video Igard (and thanks Grendels for making it). It was a great demonstration of using micro crystal clear, I'll probably use that for my Romulan Warbird.

Thanks for the responses Grendels and Igard! I've been itching to buy a Dremel anyway, so this might just be my excuse. I was worried about whether or not they'd hold micro bits, but it sounds like they do. I'm hoping they can hold bits smaller than 1/32"...anyone know if this is the case? The...

Great article, thanks. Should Micro Crystal Clear be applied from behind windows or on top of them?

Good to know, thanks! I guess I should buy an Archimedean and hold onto my pin vise. Here's hoping I don't screw this model all to hell.

Thanks for all your help TrekWorks! I'm sure I will have many more questions down the line, but I really appreciate you letting me know the ins and outs of this hobby.

You're right. Found this one: http://www.amazon.com/Spiral-Hand-Drill-w-Spring/dp/B000BRFGGK/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1338087031&sr=1-1-catcorr Which is, ironically, made by Zona, which is the company that made the swivel headed pin vise I'll be returning.

Is this the hand drill of which you speak? http://www.amazon.com/Archimedean-Drill-Stk-W-Spring/dp/B002TMPH32/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1338087031&sr=1-2-catcorr Thanks again for all your help Igard!

Thanks for the help Trekworks! Sorry to hear about the lower half of your clear Enterprise saucer. I hope you ordered it from Amazon, you should easily be able to get the seller to send you a new kit for free. I bought a Walthers .033 drill bit today for use with a swivel headed pin vise for my...

Thank you so much for your reply Igard, it is most helpful! I'm going to look up that Bondo stuff. I just went to a hobby store today and bought a Zona swivel headed pin vise as well as two .033 diameter drill bits for the holes. The guy at the shop seemed to know what he was talking about and...

Thanks for the tip, I might try that.

Hey everyone, I have a bunch of basic questions I was hoping some of you might be able to answer before I start my build of the AMT 1/3200 Romulan Warbird. --What size of drill bit do I need for the windows? --What brand/color of spray paint do I need for the primer? --What is the brand of red...

Oops. Already bought the Warbird today from Amazon. Hopefully I'll find a way to scribe/mark where I want the windows before drilling. And I'm mostly a fan of TNG Star Trek, not the original show, so I'll enjoy having this model. I don't mind drilling a lot of holes, that sounds a lot easier...

Hey TrekWorks, would you mind sharing what colors and paint schemes you used? Great work.

I assume this is where you're going: http://www.evanslighting.com/.
