Seems like you have unique set of skills (3D modeling) and I have a unique set of tools (3D printer). It's been a super long time since I've logged into this site, but that's because I recently got into 3D printing. I've already built one printer, and now I'm building a second. I would like...

I'm interested as well. Any of these still available?

Thanks man! Right now I'm working through the electricals for my 1/350 PL Enterprise-A. Getting ready for (hopefully) Wonderfest.

This is one of the reasons why drilling out the windows takes so long. Without seeing your setup, I'd guess that you're Dremel speed is set too high. I set mine on the slowest possible speed setting when I was drilling out windows. This really extends the amount of time it takes to drill a...

;D Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was working really hard this past week on the Enterprise. The good news is that I finished it in time for the competition! Here's some photos of the last part of my buildup: After painting I had some blending and filling to do: My first hour working...

I made lots of progress over the weekend. I'll post more pictures later tonight. Decals forthcoming.

It's been too long since I've posted, but I am still working very hard on this. Since my last post I've completed all the circuitry and started putting together some of the sub assemblies. Here's some photos: Test with LED in warp engine: Warp engine LED circuits: All the complete...

I haven't posted in a while so here's a BIG update. On Sunday I finished drilling the windows in the main hull. So glad that they're done! After I finished with that, I taped it all together and did a test fit on the stand that I'm going to use. It's a little front heavy! I also...

Hey guys! I haven't had much time to work on the kit for the last couple of days, but its the weekend, so I'm hitting it hard! I finished up designing the LED lighting on paper and ordered all the parts. Should be here Monday. I spent most of today fiddling with the Arduino, trying to develop...

Hey! Welcome to the site! I'm actually pretty new around here too...huge sci-fi fan as well. Time spent drilling windows is time also spent re-watching Star Trek on Netflix. Tonight I watched Wrath of Kaaaaaaahhhhhhhhn! 8) Yes they can. Have you read the datasheet on that thing? Might be...

Update: Spent ALL day drilling! I finished both engineering hull sections and put a decent dent in the top of the saucer. Tomorrow I'll put together a shot of the various pieces with a couple of LED's. I got mine on eBay for about $50. It took some time to find one sub-$100, but it was...

I've never heard about Jameco, I'll check them out. Right now I'm shopping on Digikey for LEDs/power supplies and Sparkfun in case I need to use any surface mount stuff. For effects, I've been using an Arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/. It's definitely overkill for just blinking LEDs but you can...

Thanks for the advice Zombierepellent, after I finish drilling windows, I might give that a shot. You're right about using Wal-Mart paint for lightblocking. I was thinking of going that route, but I'm not so good with the airbrush, and I thought I could use the practice! The Faskolor was only...

Update: Did some window drilling on the bottom half of the saucer! Suffice it to say, my hands are tired.

It's been a few days...lots to say! My first task was to lightblock the interior. Initially I thought doing a coat of primer followed by a coat of silver would be enough to work...After some testing, it didn't really work out. Back to the hobby store! Purchased some Faskolor black paint to...

I've been cruising the internet for sometime, looking at all the awesome Star Trek builds. Now it's time to try my hand at it. There's a model show in my city coming up in about a month, and I'm going to enter the First Contact kit that I bought on eBay. I've also already purchased some...

I'm looking for a set of warp engine grills for the 1/350 enterprise refit. If someone has the experience and materials, I'd be willing to send the ones I have to get recast in clear.

Hi, I'm Dan. I'm a huge Star Trek fan and I've been building starships off and on for about 2 years. I just bought a slew of new kits off eBay, and now I'm really looking to get good at this stuff. I'm an electrical engineer by trade, so I've been working hard designing my own lighting kits...
