This is going to be my first documented build on the forum. I am currently building the 1/1000 scale Polar Lights Constitution Class Starship. I will eventually have several Enterprises in my collection so I am opting to build this one as the USS Defiant. The build will be pretty much out of the box except that I may try an alternate paint scheme to reflect some panel lines as seen in the remastered shots of the series.
Parts layout
For a better fit I removed the locator pins on the saucer section
pylons glued up
Engines glued together.
Saucer section
It would not be a Star Trek model without seam filling. I have spent about an hour already just on the engines.
One engine almost done.
Pylon work
Second pass with sanding sticks and seam filler on the saucer. one more should do it.
