Enteprise D....DONE (now with flashing lights)

Thanks mate, I will see how I go...

I never really liked this ship, but just lately I had the opportunity to get my hands on one, and I was actually impressed by the size of it... I spent most of today putting it together and getting it ready for paint.. And I have had some fun with it.. Simple kit, but fun.. And it is starting to grow on me.. I think if you get the paint done right, then you are on the right track.. Thats why I love yours so much, it looks great!..

Thanks for the kind words. Its great to post work and not have people nit pick at it.

The colors for the Enterprise are pretty straight forward

Base Coat: Camo Grey
Aztek: Flat Gull Grey

Mix a little bit of white in with each to coat as you airbrush!!

If you have any more questions I would be glad to help.

Looks like the model used on the show.

joey.. Great work mate.. I just recieved my ERTL D and have decided that instead of doing the AMT Reliant as my next project, I want to do the E-D.. I wont be lighting mine though, but I am very much interested in getting the paint right..

I like yours alot, and I am curious as to the colours you used...

Hey there,
Its all lighted by LED's. if you arrange the LED's right you can get a good effect for the windows. Its the AMT/ERTL kit and I used a bunch of after market parts as well.

Absolutely amazing job, the lighting is well done. I assume that's EL sheeting under the hull for windows etc?

Is this a SB or a kit? I would very much like to do a 1701-D model for my wife, as she happens to be a huge TNG fan, and she refuses to condone me building the Polar Lights 1701-A refit kit :)

That is really cool Joey!  Nice work! I love the lighting work you did! 

That is Sweet! Looks to me like it was worth the time you put into it. You have every right to be proud :)
