I got you up Beans. I tried to put up a pic that would show the front view screen.

 
Thanks modelcrazy.

Hey Beans, looks pretty darn awesome to me. I think I can the beeping of the bridge computers just by looking at it.

And cool D-7, I built that kit back in the late '80s. Had the same weird chromed parts which I primed and painted over. But your kit has much better decals.

Great work Beans!

 

That is a very nice bridge.  Thanks for sticking with it, and building with the group!

 

I don't really care about the end date of the GB, and I will be watching your D-7 build with interest.

 

Thanks again for participating.

Thanks guys.

Well, if it's cool with mach71, and there's no end date, I'll keep the D7 within this group build.

Or maybe we open a Star Trek 50th Aniversary group build...

A 50th Group build might be a good idea.

That does sound pretty cool! And I love that badge Beans. 

My build rate has slowed to a crawl and I'm making painfully slow progress on the Zero for my own GB and haven't even started my Albertosaurus for Steve and Wayne's Dinos and Dios GB yet. But I'll commit myself here if you guys kick this off. I have three Polar Lights 1/1000th Big-Es and the vinyl figures of Jim and Scotty still to build. 

I'm not going to even think about those 1/350th Polar Lights Enterprise kits I picked up a few years ago. At the rate I'm building we'll be in the 23rd century and the Big-E will be real before I'm done...

LOL Gam your as bad as me. I have 2 very intensive ships on the bench, a 1/8 Merlin and a 1/72 B-47 for my own GB's, 5 subs in line for my Sub GB in Aug, a 1/48 Swordfish with PE for another GB  and I'm willing to jump in again with a ST build. Man I need help.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Whoops! I meant Wayne and Terry's Dinos and Dios- sorry Steve, dunno why I confused you with Terry/Jibber. Dunce

And yes it does seem like we're in the same boat. I think it's a phobia I have about finishing stuff. Either it's I get excited, start stuff, and then get excited about something else and end up distracted or I start something, then get annoyed when it doesn't go the way I want and then start another that I picture in my head as the 'perfect' model...

I love the badge! Nice job.

 

I have a few more Star Trek kits I could build.

I'd be willing to co-host a TOS group build but I've never started one.

I think that if we post the group build and keep the end date far enough in the future we could get it done. No pressure 'n stuff.

Who's in?

As said I'm up to my eyeballs in stuff but I can't resist- count me in.

A nice start.

 

Every time I see this ship I am amazed at the genius of Matt Jefferies.

That's cool too Beans. 

Makes me think though, wasn't there a MAD magazine painting of Spock sticking out his tongue and wiggling his fingers on his nose?
