It looks like you had one heck of a masking job there.

Beautiful job fokkerpilot! Yep, I thought that little pubby too small for my lighting talents. Hey, guys heres a thread on lighting where me and woody were discussing how we "scavenge" our LEDs and electronics. I mainly just take them out of old toys and such from flea markets, resale stores, and retail store clearance aisles. Heres the link:http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9872
Me and my dad call it "Assemilating". It's less time consuming, easier, and ofen cheaper, to to find what you need in an exisiting toy IF you know what to look for than to build a circuit board from scratch. Sometime it can't be avoided but I avoid it as much as I can!lol
BTW the Runabouts are VERY easy to illuminate. Ive done two so far. I used battery powered Christmas lights! At most shows and conventions I have been to there are no readily available AC outlets plus I beleive the "powers that be" seem to be a little prehensive about plugging up "home made" electronics in the hotel, so I try to stick to battery power or optional ac/dc adaptor plugs.

That looks GREAT Jack! I've never really cared much for the Excelsior class
design but I'm starting to rethink that. Beautiful work!

Looking good Jack. The B has always been a favorite of mine, right behind the TOS ship. Really looking forward to the final product.

I like all the work you've done with the B! Great job. Are the decals from JT?
One thing I did see is that on your base that you're making, in the photograph, the delta shield is backwards. The "thin" side of the lower point should be on the right.

Thanks guy!! The Aztec decals are from PC Modeler. JT supplied the upgraded markings and DLM had the Blue and Grey decals.
Yeah, ![Oops [oops]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_oops.gif) the insignia was just taped on for the picture. I had it on in reverse just to test you guys and gals.

Fantastic work, Jack!
Good luck with the contest.
As good as that looks, however, I don't reckon luck will have a hand in its success!
