Good job man! It turned out great!

Yep, that lip is supposed to be there, granted it's a little exaggerated, it's supposed to have a lip. http://www.starshipmodeler.com/trek/lakota-35.jpg On the rear, it shouldn't be puttied and sanded flat, but slightly beveled instead. http://www.starshipmodeler.com/trek/lakota-22.jpg There...

Thanks man, I just didn't want to crash the guys thread is all.

The Acreation decals for this ship are pretty good, but have a couple of issues. The three teal bands going around the saucer, are a little too short. They leave about 1/4" at the end. I corrected the issue by cutting three small strips from the decals they give you for the warp engines and...

That's looking awesome! I really want to build another one of these. One tip I can offer for doing your unlit windows, is using a gel pen. It's way fastest, cleanest way I've been able to do them. White ones work too for painting lit up windows, if you weren't actually lighting it.

That's looking pretty great! Another thing that will really help even out the lighting, is when you put the decals on, it will act as a diffuser and all the windows will be visible from any angle.

Looks great man! Keep up the good work! ;D

You're making good progress. But just so you know, flat white is better for evenly distributing light inside of a model. Where the windows on this kit is so tiny, it might be worth your while to experiment a little bit. I personally wouldn't spend the money on special paints to spray through an...

Re: Classic MPC C-3PO and R2-D2 uber detail build Yep that exact stuff. you should be able to get it at wal mart.

Re: Classic MPC C-3PO and R2-D2 uber detail build You're doing some great work man. When I scribed the panel lines on my colonial viper, I used a dental pick. I got a set of them at ace hardware for 10 bucks. The trick with scribing, is doing several light passes. Label maker tape works as a...

The refit had azteking under the registry. http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/tmp2/tmphd0721.jpg

Tick tock, he mentioned earlier in the thread when I asked him. It's a custom mix, and that it's easier to add drops of blue to white, than it is a bunch of white to some blue. I feel this thread could use a well deserved bump. Any updates?

What color did you use for the phaser banks? I really like it.

I'd love to see it. If you could post some pictures here that'd be awesome. A lot of people come here and post links for ssm but you need to have an account there to view them.

Sounds like you've been busy! I can't wait to see some new photos!

I said it on the rpf and I'll say it here. I can't wait to see updates on this!

Well at least you can do a saucer crash diorama like in generations.

Just put the window decals on the bare plastic, drill all your windows, and then sand off the rest of the decals after you're done drilling. I've been thinking of picking up another one of those ships.

The enterprise D is a bit tricky to light, because you need to grind out material in the solid nacelle pylons to run wires to the nacelles. But other than that, it shouldn't be too hard. If you know how to do lights and whatnot anyways. It's something that seems to be becoming more obtainable to...

The model isn't too hard of a build, but clear plastic tends to be a bit more brittle than opaque. For a beginner, I would definitely use decals over painting the azteks though.
