Tamiya Big-E - USS Enterprise 1/350

Hi, no, I do not use any special brand yet.Bye.

Amazing work dude, especialy with the elevator :-)

I've got a little question, how did you cut off the elevator from the fly deck ?

This one : imageshack.us/.../img2847x.th.jpg

haha, when I saw Enterprise I was looking for Counsler Troy.  Im such a dork.  Nice work so far. =]

thanks for the reply.

are there some brands that you can recommend?

The Wallbangers

Hi, you can buy proper decal paper for ink jet or laser printers.

wow, this is an excellent build of the big-e!   :D

since I am also going to build this kit in near future,

I am very interested to know how to make your own decal.

can you tell me how?

where do you get the decal paper?

and you only have to print it by ink jet printer?

that's it?

I'm really sorry guys. A lot of things to do and some problems to solve. We are almost done with the airwing.

More decal art.

The VA-94 MIght Shrikes:

Good size but need a stronger art:

The art:

VA-96 Green Lizards:

Good size but no art, just numbers:

Next, the Fighting Redcocks attack squadron.

Once more, a little oversized.

The art, 300 DPI.

Thanks A.M., I will have a try soon when I have a spare 5mins, your decals look great. I am still stripping back my second hand Enterprise, I need to update my post soon!

Hi guys.

I'm terrible sorry if I don't answer some posts.

To do this "art" I just search web using google e do a little art using Paint Shop Pro 4.12, a very old version that I still use. You can try it for 30 days. Just search google for it.

VF-214, Blacklions

Still oversized, but is to easy to fix it.

Final art 300 DPI

Nice artwork A.M., one day I will learn how to make my own decals, but I have not tried so far because I am not good with computers. Do you use a special program for your designs? Jockster.

The 300 DPI Art:

Man those are sme small decals!

Time to do design airwing decals. I also will use some original decals.

First squadron: 6 x F-14 Aaardvarks

Decals are a little supersized. And some minor details.

Now it is better...

As always A.M., some nice neat workmanship. Lovely.

Tomcat and Corsair:

Viking:

Hi guys, time is very short for me now.

Still missing a few more details, but I decided to start the airwing.

I intend to do twelve Tomcats and Corsairs in two different squadrons and three aircraft of the others in a single squadron. This will keep the proportion of the original airwing eleven. These had already been made ​​by me almost three years ago:

Lovely looking Enterprise A.M., is that her finished now? There cannot be much left to do if she's not!

Have you started your airwing yet?

Jockster.

Hi guys, sorry about the delay.

Last CIWS platform:

Command bridge ("danger, sub nearby"):

(Lot of) Antennas ...

Nice work as usual A.M. Haven't seen you for a while but it has been worth the wait!

Jorge if you can find it online 2lb test Ice fishing line makes the best rigging material than stretched sprue. Now on the other hand streched sprue does make the best antennas other than piano wire.

Reference for bridge antennas cables and flag cables on the box:

 

 

It's not black magic, I'm doing the cables and antennas just stretching sprue:

 

Now just sew:

Ending the EP over a CIWS platform:

Applying the decals on the bridge:

I normally prefer a reference book, but I took a chance on buying it, I like the way you can zoom in on areas without a magnifying glass.

your build is looking wonderful.

Yep, same one I've got Raider-Hall.

You won't be dissapointed Bill, everything from the hangar to the yards, aircraft to anchors whether you are building 60's 70's 80's 90's or her final cruise! It's as if you wrote a list of pictures to take and he went out and took them!

got it from Ray Bean himself #4 it said.
