ST:TMP Drydock - Revisited!

In this weeks update of the Drydock, I've finished detailing both the fore and aft ends of the overhead modules and have primed them so I can apply it's final color. I've included a reference pic of the original filming model so you can see how the models compare. Next I'll be working on the visible interiors of the hanger bays on the modules then they will be connected to each other finally! Next, I'll start some of the wiring for the lighting effects. I'll have more pics of the finished paint job in the next update... so STAY TUNED!

[8D]Happy Friday Everone!

In this  Drydock Project update, I've finished the tensioning rods for all of the curved panel frames. I've reviewed TMP once again and noticed that there are very minor details to be added between the curved frames. The pics on page 10 show what I mean. I'm going to call these little squares that I've added junction boxes in which I can run additional wiring through in case I've left out some sort of lighting. I've also begun more detail work on the sides of the overhead modules. After recievening some very interesting pics of one of the Drydock Models that was used in one of the TV series, and auctioned off at Christie's, I was able to use those pics as a referent. At first I wasn't sure if this was going to look good, but when I took pics of it I thought it looked very good. I've left these pics a little larger so when you click on the "FULL VIEW" you can check out the details a little better. After I finish the detailing work, I'll be working on the Hangers on either sides of the modules. Hope you enjoy!!!!! Until the next update....

In my "SITE" update this week, I've posted some new pics of how I'm wiring and lighting the Curved-frame light panels on the Drydock Project page for those of you who would like to know how this is being done. It may not be the best way to do this, but HEY.... IT WORKS! And that's all that matters right now. As always, there will be more updates soon. Hope you enjoy and Thanks!

Thank you very Much!!!!

Sometimes when I work on a project this big for such a long time, I eventually need a little break. So I made a composite pic of the PL Enterprise pulling away from the Drydock. I'm not sure how to upload pics on this forum, yet, I'll just send you to my link. Check out Drydock Project, page 9 pic 4. This pic gives you an idea of what the final product will hopefully look like. I think it turned out pretty sharp. Hope you enjoy!

[8D] In this update, I've finished 2 of the curved tiers for the side light panels. Though I'd share the pics with you to see what you think. Check them out on the Drydock page of our site! Let me know what you think!
