I'm keeping a eye out for one of these beastie's. I have the NX.  I must have what Lucien H.'s got. I caught myself trying to calculate the dimensions of DS9 in 1/350!!!  (114' 5" or so)  No sure where I'd put it...

You can find it here

Now DS9 in 1/350th?! WOW!! At that scale, You'd better put it on the roof!!

The roof?? It's bigger then the house I think.  It's nearly twice as long as the 60' chicken house.  I wonder how big K-7 or Vanguard would be.  They would go more with the older period.

That link is a definate possiblity.  I was hoping HobbyLobby would get it but... I got the NX there, and the D-7, and the Scorpian... I want to have the fleet on the ceiling somewhere.  My bedroom is 14' x 16' or so good bit to work with. Maybe I could expand into the hall.  I'm the only one upstairs other then the extra bedroom. I've got a Maquis Raider I started forever ago that I'm hoping will turn out decent with a lot of work.  I filled no seams or anything back then.

Such a sweet price.... alas, I'm of the idea of building the whole class, and that [obviously] would cost a pretty penny [about 15 ships]..... Since I was a kid, I always wanted to build a whole class ever since I got the original Enterprise model [with all the names and numbers of the class].

Hi Chris, I have just joined this topic and have the Polar Lights refit in my stash - I saw it in my local hobby shop, and my wallet was out faster than Chekov could fire a photon torpedo

One thing had put me off was the painting - having concentrated on aircraft and ships they don't do asdecing, but the way you describe it has been inspirational.  Is it possible to buy the masks seperately?

Looks cool man, real cool, mine is still under my desk in work, yes in work, I'm afraid of it, but I have the Bandai ones to stop me from whining.

Again cool and lookinggood,

if you look on the net they do sell 1/350 scale Aztec masks as well as the Aztecing decals if you want to cheat.

Thanks guys.. Well as for the masks, Mikeym is right.. they do sell them somewhere. But rather than spend the money, and then sit and wait for them to arrive to me here in Japan, it just seemed quicker to do them myself.. Kinda hard and boring for a few hours. But a great substitute anyway.. If I could just go to my local hobby shop and buy the templates. Then my wallet would slap me on the way out of the pocket..

Your work on this model is breathtaking! I have always had a special place in my heart for the
Constitution class starship Enterprise and its really great to see you doing this model justice!

Cannot wait to lay eyes on the finished product! Keep it up!
