WIP photos of a 1/350 scale TOS Enterprise I've been working on since March 2005.

The domed area of the upper saucer, and the segmented dome and inner ring of the lower saucer were turned on a lathe. The main part of the upper saucer were two half-circles (ditto the lower saucer) cut from planks of 3/4" thick poplar, and assembled down the centerline with superglue. The domed areas were cut from the same thickness of poplar; the segments were glued together with a layer of wax paper between them so they can be separated later (all the wood parts will either be used to vacform the actual model parts over, or used as masters for multiple resin castings from rubber molds). The outer rims of each saucer half were cut with a jigsaw; because the diameter of the wood parts was just a bit undersized, I ringed both with duct-tape dams and poured resin around the edges to fill them out. Roughing out the cuts with a palm sander, and will finish each by hand.
Bridge section rough-cut already, but will have to mount on a hardpad with arbor to turn on my drill along with the other dome parts; they're just too small to turn safely on my lathe.
Engineering Hull and Warp Nacelles turned on lathe; biggest headache were the thin rings directly behind the bussard caps, had to add some resin and turn them each again to repair some splintered areas; the tailstock will be removed, then I'll turn the caps round on the drill-pad. The only real remaining work is to route the grille-inset on both inside nacelle-halves, and turn the end cap domes and shuttle bay hangar doors.
Pylons will be cut from 1/4" poplar and divided into sections for the molds. Planning to make the side pieces as vacform parts that will fit over solid resin spines so lighting can be installed; the engine pylons will be assembled with a core-piece that I'm building as a separate piece, which was turned as a plug on the engineering hull. When assembled, it will be a single V-shaped piece that won't sag from the weight of the nacelles on the end (done this as a 1/3 rd smaller assembly for another model and it works well). Will also be scratchbuilding spine and spoke assemblies for a connected armature which will carry the lighting and support the assembled model.
