1/350 ENTERPRISE REFIT BUILD

Hi,

That looks great, the AZTEC panelling looks nice and subtile, and the interior detailing looks impressive

Pulling up a chair.  I always love to watch a 1/350 Enterprise being built.  It’s like going to high end symphony - so much to take in and so much talent on show.

Test Fitting the major assemblies...

The saucer and Shuttlebay assemblies and the lower saucer gets airbrushed...

I airbrushed the intricate Aztec pattern and five colors on the upper saucer...

The kit supplied bridge is wrong...So I started to modify it until I found a much more accurate part on Shapeways...

The intricate Five color Motion picture paint scheme begins.
Note...to keep these builds from boring me to tears, I jump around. Your milage may vary.

Again, using the mask set from Orbital Dry-docks I have begun airbrushing the Secondary hull...A tedious process to say the least. I won't go into the steps of The actual how to on using the mask, You can find that around the net. However, having said that, it's MUCH easier than cutting my own, which I did in the past.

The Shuttlebay again...The detailed/painted Botanical Garden and officers Lounge.

On both I removed those horrid plastic "trees" and substituted scale ones.

Also the Photo Etch addition of the Windows for both areas.
