Enterprise-A vs Bird-of-Prey
Posted by Hobby Dude on Thursday, December 5, 2013 8:46 PM

Hi All!  This project was built to hang at our Hobby Shop entrance.  Big time Kudos to employees James Moody and Paul Singer for their time and the great skill put forth on this monster.  A great team. The kit is the 1/350 scale Polar Lights Enterprise refit.  The Space Shuttle "Enterprise" is also 1/350 scale (die-cast)

That is a nice job. I have the same kit but I'm waiting until I get the lighting kit to start it.

That's a really great job! What did they use for the Aztech details? A masking kit or tape?

Thanks Guys. The hull was painted with a 50/50 mix of Testers Gloss Gull Gray and Bright White, the entire ship was then covered with the kit decals.(and LOTS of decal setting solution) Finally a light wash was added to push out some of the small details.

Looks great!  I'm working on and have been working on a Polar Light refit for about 5 years now.

Well, we just couldn't leave well enough alone. Across the doorway from Enterprise, lurking, is a 1/350 Klingon Bird-of-Prey.  photo NCC-1701-A002_zps724b3a1a.jpg  photo NCC-1701-A003_zps30c04b75.jpg  photo NCC-1701-A005_zps0c4d5c54.jpg
