Enterprise C construction update

She sure is looking great Jack. Can't wait to see it when your done.

Matt

I always liked the way a lighted enterprise looked! Great job!

Thanks, folks. Hopefully, and that's being optomistic, I may have some of the final paint on her by weeks end. I'll keep updating the thread.

so the Enterprise C is basically the same kit as the Yamaguchi right. except it isnt molded in clear plastic and has a different nacel pylon config

That, plus the deflector dish is different than that of the original EC. The original is concave versus the Yami's which is fairly level. The funny thing about the E-C kit is that they have the belly phaser strip and lower science bay(?) piece for the lower aft section of the secondary hull. Both of those do not exist on the 1701C.

Very impressive work (as usual!) Jack.

Great job! I've wanted to get my hands on a C kit (or the Yamaguchi for that matter) for a long time but sticker shock drives me away from buying one. The next best thing is watching someone elses awesome build!

I posted one picture of each : The Rio Grande and the E-C. The Runabout is in forlder Runabout2 and the last picture 111204. The E-C is in the 1701C October Folder and that one is labled 111204 also.

The Runabout side panels needed to be painted and weathered prior to installation of the pylon assemblies. The picture only shows the early stages of that work. The wiring for the main hull and the nacelles are then fed into the pylon where access to them can be achieved from the front impulse grill area that has been drilled out for DLM's Impulse enhancement. A red LED will be placed in the pylon then to give the glow of both the intake and the exhaust port on the rear of the pylon. I'll get some more shots of that tomorrow evening.

The E-C is masked off and the light blue/grey has been applied to the upper saucer area for now. Family obligations have prohibited me from continuing with the airbrushing but I did manage to tape off additional areas of the hull and saucer for airbrushing tomorrow. Again, more photos of those tomorrow evening.

I have posted 5 new shots of the 1701C. They are on my Yahoo Photo site in Folder "1701C_Oct" , files 112404a through 112404e.
