Heya All,   I know this is a federatin build but since the Klingons and Federation are Allies... Could I through in a Klingon Battle Cruiser " Vor'cha" into the grp build since it is the only Star Trek model I have in the works? If not I will have to buy another kit (sigh have to deal with the Boss err wife ). Guido

Mate. I guess if you build something in the time frame of Klingons being part of the Federation, then I guess there shouldnt be any problem?.. If its pre-Klingon-Federation, then we will just call it a classic and put Federation licence plates on it

Well as for me this build is running SLOW !!!! " by me "

And I think anything to pick it up would be good !

But that's just me.

Let's see what the others say......

When you get the pics taken can you email them to me please, Eddie?  I'd appreciate it since I have to live vicariously thru you guys to get my modeling fix. 

Look forward to seeing those thar pics Ed

Thanks Chris and by the way Hows Things ?

Bud, go over to SSM and look for a guy called F91.. He should be able to point you in the right direction.. They all did a lighting course in Seattle at thier club I believe. He may be able to help out.. I would normally give you his email, but might be better if you approach him yourself.. Just tell him I sent you.. He really is a great fella..

Remco.. Cant wait for the pics mate.. 

Antoher update, I have put on the last coat of light grey. Maybe a bit to heavy, the preshading has (almost) disapeared. I have taken some pics, I will post them shortly.

Next up, painting the details, I will just brush these, since these are small surfaces.

OK I PMed Remco and I should have just posted it here......

A friend asked me to build him the Enterprise D from TNG with Lights. Does anyone have any info on how about I do something like that ?

Thanks all

Bud

Looks like I'm on semi-permanent "hold" 'til I get back to The World.  Things have been too busy here the last couple of weeks for me to do more than open the box, look in and then close the box as someone else comes in to order another part....

So, I should be able to make a LOT of headway in a bit over one month. 

Well, here's one more on my progress on the D & 1701

hi guys, I have just returned from a two week vacation. Glad to see that there is progress beeing made in the GB!

The status of my intrepid is the same as before, it needs another coat of grey and then I can move on to next steps in the building proces.

Why did I get an image of a small circus monkey playing a mini drum kit when I read your last comment? Chris

If I did drink, I'd be acting like that cirus Monkey. That or the one in Skeleton Crew...

We've hit the second page for a few days now, so I guess it is my turn to give this build a bit of a

"BUMP"

Thanks Chris, I need to try thatI've been holding at a 15 degree angle off the port bow

Thanks Griff, I'll see if I got some alcohol... Hmmm but I don't drink!!

Right now I am trying various methods of getting the Micro mask off. Picking at corners with it & trying to lift with masking tape, scotch tape, even taking a wet q-tip to it. Guess it's just scrape away...

Try rubbing alcohol on a q-tip.  It shouldn't do a thing to the paint bt will ge the adhesive portion off just fine, I think.

hhmmm.. You know what.. I have never used the stuff.. I wouldnt know what would help in this situation?.. I would try holding your tongue at 45 degrees?
