                        Thanks gang! Yeah, I found the pictures I needed. Most of what I did inside was improvised through the pictures.

                        Bet you didn't know that the transporter pad and overhead dome are Lego parts did ya? Amazing what you can use. Big Smile [:D]

                        Jack

                        Now all I need is a rear window ( the long one ). It split on me last night when I was putting it in. Sad [:(]

                        Anyone know anyone who might have a spare rear window for the Runabout??? Need one badly or it's going to wreak havoc on the conference room life support.

                        Thanks

                        Will do! As soon as the rear window assembly comes in the mail I'll be back at this full bore. I really would like to finish this one up by the end of the month. The pylons and nacelles are already pre-wired for the impulse and warp drive. Basically, the only interior work to do is cement the instrument panel in and trim some fiber optics on the panel.

                        I may just build another one somewhere down the road. This interior work has been fun.

                        You make me wonder why I bother even building at all. I never would have thought to interiorize a Runabout. Love the transporter test.

                        Naw, this one really isn't that bad. Some sheet styrene, small styrene girders as guides for the bulheads, cardboard for bulkhead templates and a few pieces of Lego for the transporter. Yep, a square piece of Lego with a yellow LED in it, plus a silver concaved dome above that for another LED.

                        The only reason I did this interior is because I have a customer who wants it built as such. It's not completely "canon"; yet the inagination is what sets it off. Of course, if you watch DS9, something is always different with the Rio Grande.

                        Give it a shot. It's a lot of fun.

                        Jack, any chance you can do a build-up article on how you accomplished this incredible scratbuilt? Smile [:)] Pretty please? Big Smile [:D]

                        Oh, and a quick question: did you happen to use any clear parts on the nacelles, like the ones from DLM (Don's Light & Magic)?

                        Well, I don't know about incredible Cool [8D] but I could probably go through my notes and whip something up. And yes, I do have the DLM enhancements and JTGraphics' decals. As of last evening I had the window I needed and spent about 1 1/2 hours putting the instrument panel in (fiber optics with it). It was kind of like building a ship that is already in a bottle. New pictures, labeled "August 5" will be up on :

                        A few new updated pics in my Yahoo album under Runabout and list as pics 819a thru 819h. The hull pics show the camo grey as a tannish color. Digital cameras and night time just don;t mix. Anyway, enjoy!

                        I have posted 3 more pics on the Yahoo Photos section.

                        http://photos.yahoo.com/fuzznoggincreations

                        They are listed under Runabout as 822a, b, & c. Pylons were mounted today after the sides of the main hull were painted, detailed, and weathered. Then Nacelles get put on tomorrow and the electrical leads connected via the opening in the pylon for the impulse screen. The weathering was done with some artists charcoal and earth tone pastel chalks ground up and applied via brush.

                        Enjoy

                        Jack, That runabout is looking awesome! I wish I knew how to light models. You do really good work and your series of pics have been very informative.

                        Thanks Woody!

                        I have placed some additional updated pics with the pylons and nacelles attached. Impulse engines glow nicely too. They are listed in the 823 series on:

                        Whoa! That is very cool. I love the crew inside. It really brings it to life.
                        Did they happen to tell you what they were discussing? LOL

                        Here it is gang......99% done; just need the LCARS panel installed over the sound boards. Otherwise, amen! I took the liberty to do some weathering on it and it turned out nicely. The pictures can be found under Runabout in my Yahoo Photos. They are listed as 831a thru 831l. I figured I'd post them know because as soon as I finish it up I have to ship it out.
