Some small updates, the enterprise is on a wired post and I'm getting ready to put LED's in the doomsday machines to get that swirlling effect

Yeah, that's some sharp work on both!

Slow progress.
I've almost finished decaling the Enterprise and Final construction on the
F-104 is basically done.
I started decaling the F-104. I think I'll go with FG-926 and TAC shield/lightning bolts
on the tail.
Really creative, mach!
Not much new. I've been trying to get gome lights to light Capt. Christopher.
I ordered some on ebay. when they came they didn't work. The seller sent replacments
but they were 14V bulbs. I finally found some 3V bulbs and they came a few days ago.
I mounted the light in the seat.
I've been cleaning up a few things on the F-104. Final assembly on the F-104 is almost done. I've drilled a mounting hole on the side for a plastic rod.
I've been cleaning up Capt Christopher a bit also.
The Big-E looks great! And dematerizing Capt. Christopher looks cool in the cockpit of the F-104.
Everything is turning out really well! Good job!
I've been very busy last week, Not much got done.
I managed to get an hour today to do a little bit.
Last week I painted the tail cone of the F-104.
I got a few things in the mail.
And I started decaling the Enterprise.
Very well done!
Very well done indeed!
falconmod She's assembled and lit up! John
She's assembled and lit up!
Outstanding!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oooooo! I also have to use a Optivisor with a 10x lense on it. Capn' I've got to have more room!!!
Ohhhhhhhhh, I've been trying to cram three LEDs into a Bandai A-Wing and you're working with something waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy smaller so I guess I should stop cussing and complaining now!
Looks awesome, I think even Scotty would approve.
Ok only a little update. Got the engine supports glued in and the wires routed. Now I have to make room for the center post and solder wires together and run them down the post. Yaa! Hoo!
Yeah, that's awesome John, she's gonna look neat all lighted up.
Thanks for all the compliments guys. here's a up date, got the new engine supports made now comes the fun part, soldering all the wires so they will fit inside the lower cylinder!
A lot of fine-motor skill work, falcon! Terrifically creative!
I'm still blown away by what your doing with this Enterprise!
Very nice.
Ok, got a little more progress. hollowed out the engine nacelle's for the LED's and got the green fiber optic rod in place for the top and bottom glowing sections of the saucer. still need to make new engine supports to route the wiring.
mach71 You could get a can and decant it. But any grey/white should work. Maybe 2/3 flat white mixed with 1/3 light grey. Capt. Christopher is all lit up!

ENERGIZE!!!
Thanks!
Yes Model master.
I have a few rattle cans. It's too cold to airbrush in my garage so I'm making due with
rattle cans. It's definitely darker than dirty white. I would have liked it lighter still.
Great idea, mach; captured at the moment of transport!
And: would that be ModelMaster Camouflage Gray? The stuff is out of production now, except in spray cans.
Humbrol lists a camouflage grey, but the chip on the computer monitor looks darker than MM's--which appears like a "dirty" white.
Lol, Mach71- I love it!!!
