First Post - my 1:350 Enterprise Refit
Posted by usna2k on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 7:38 PM
Hello everyone - I am new here but wanted to share my Enterprise model - I just finished it after almost 2 years of work. I wish I were a better photographer, but hopefully this will come across well. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how to link the images.

Its so hard to get the pearlescent paint to show up in photos - I lost some of the effect when I used a satin overcoat to finish the decals and protect them :-/

That's beautiful. I have the kit but haven't started it because I haven't bought the light kit yet. It's evident by your pics that the light kit is a MUST HAVE.

That looks fantastic. I, too, have this kit on my shelf, but haven't found the courage to start it yet. I'm still debating the lighting set. That lighting kit is spendy though. When I bought the kit I bought a lot of photo etch and other goodies for it, so it'd be a shame not to light it. We'll see.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!  

I have the same kit hanging outside our Hobby Shop. We wrestled with doing the light kit and decided not to because of the lighting in the store. After seeing this bad boy however, I wonder about that decision. LOL  Great Job, thanks for sharing!

Whoa!

This is weird! About 1 hour ago I pulled this kit out of my stash to begin work on. I have all the 1/350 versions but this is the one I decided on.
