SHE'S DONE!!: TOS Enterprise..With aztec!....

That is one good looking ship you have there Chris.  Great job.  The aztecing looks really good on there. 

 I have a few Star Trek ships to build.  I am working on an Ent-B right now and am trying to finish up an old Excelsior that I have had in the works for years.  Also got a Runabout going on too.

really looks you found the balance there chris!! GJ!!!

Thanks for that Raist... I have really scratched my head with this one.. Its one of those, what is too much, what is enough kind of deals.. I have since put the rust ring around the top to stick with the original feel of the ship..

I love the original ship, so I didnt want the aztec to be in your face, and I just wanted it to look like a natural surface to what would normally be a flat plain saucer section..  I have started masking the secondary hull and nacelles, and will have that done, sometime today. My only problem is, that with all the work I have put into this 22" Cutaway, I now how have a gap on the neck where the saucer meets the neck.. So I have a feeling I should start on that and get any filling and sanding done before I start paint on both the underside of the saucer and the neck.. I dont like the idea of having a gap on the neck..

looking good chris!

and about the GB, yup, its a shame there isn't any more intrest for it.. dissapointing indeed!!

oh well.. it was worth a shot..

as for the regular postings, well, i dont have any internet at home for the moment (could take a while too..) so im only on the net when im at work, or at my parents house (like now..) and without having internet, its kinda hard to post ;-P

WOW Chris. She's looking SWEET !

Thanks mate..

I have had the opportunity to see the updated episodes that have aired so far, and must say I have enjoyed them.. I like the Romulan BOP that they re-did, but I think that that they didnt do the aztec on this version of the Enterprise.. I was reading somewhere that they just enhanced it to fit in with its surrounds.. The version I am building is based on the Defiant from "Enterprise"... I must admit that when I watch the "Enhanced" versions, I do double takes on the Enterprise shots to see if someone did sneak an aztec pattern in there somewhere. he he he

Here is where I am at.. I have just finished the top part of the saucer and blended it all in together.. I will put the rust ring around the middle, and then start the decals...

Looking good, Chris.  I was taken by the revved up Constitution Class in "In A Mirror Darkly" too.  If you can find when they are showing them they are remastering the classic episodes

Check out the revved up Romulan ship and K-7, plus the newly created Gorn ship. I'm glad I haven't build my TOS kits yet.
