Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

Thanks Q! This is a great kit even with some of the atrocious seams you have to fill; chiefly around the impulse engines and the connecting dorsal. As if that wasn't enough, I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Here's a pic of the diffusion material I put behind the nacelle panels to even out the glow from the LED's:

The fiber for the rear flasher on the nacelles was glued in with 5-minute epoxy. I used tape to hold the fiber in a vertical postition as the epoxy dried:

After some cleanup with files and sanding sticks I finished masking off with Tamiya tape and Microscale liquid mask before giving her a shot of Duplicolor automotive primer:

Tomorrow I'll give her a shot of black. That should take care of any remaining light leaks. Then she gets a coat of silver.
