Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit


Spent about 5 hours on her today...


Finished the sanding with 600 grit and any touchups with the hull color.

Unmasked the forward sensors and blue navigational deflectors and touched up.

Unmasked the bussard domes.

Unmasked the impulse engines and nacelle trenches.

Unmasked the secondary hull deflector shroud.

Brushed on the accent colors-Testors aluminum, neutral grey, and medium grey.

Installed the blue matter/antimatter pod crystal on the back of the secondary hull and the two little blue crystals on the upper saucer pontoons.

Still need to install the bussard spikes and main deflector dish.

I'll probably wait until I'm done decaling before installing those though.

I'm thinking about remaking the spikes uing tiny metal pins for the shafts so they would never break.


Here you can see me poking the fibers into the 3 holes I drilled last time in the stern. I tinted them with Testors transparent blue last night:

Here you can see the upper saucer dome glued on over the bridge:

So she needs to dry overnight while I mull over modifying the spikes...
