re-watching the episode the only blinking light I see is on top of the saucer section, and it's a red light on the rear of the Naselle, with no blinker and nothing upfront. In the official drawing indicates that the right side should be green with you addressed. But as far as I can see from re-watching and zooming the episode, the red light should be on the rear and solid. Am I missing something?

I wish one of the TV stations would play the shows again as reruns! Let’s promote that!

Tamiya Insignia White is a good "starship grey" I used that on my millennium falcon. ArmyPainter Gun Metal might be good for the neck.

How could a PG-13 rated movie being considered the most violent movie ever made?

I had no idea it was filmed in Las Vegas! My grandparents lived in Ocate, NM, about 40 miles north of there. I spent many a summer in that area. Oner of the reasons I loved Longmire was because it was filmed near there.

Looks like a fun build! I built the NCC Excelsior a few years ago, and I just received the Lake Monster Blue Trim for the NX.

Congrats on the Bronze! and alot of the models chosen by fine scale modeler are on their website including your War Rocket ! as of a few days ago, I hope you saw!

Heya! The Auxiliary Sensor Scoops were modelled after a reference picture of the Studio Model as vit was in its damaged state. Thomas Sasser who originally created the Master decided to incorporate this feature on the NCC-1701-A. This is a non canonical feature and is only representative of the filming model in her damaged state! I have some of the preliminary photos as the Master was Continuously revised prior to the initial production run.

Love the new parts that Round2 made for the Excelsior. Also are you getting one of those big resin printed kits?

Looking great so far. Love that ship too. Cant wait to see more! Keep up the great work!

Just a note, I didn't catch before I processed this video, when I mention 1/537 Refit, I mean the 1/537 Reliant I'm about to start.

Love this build I'm currently building the Enterprise 537 refit build and I'm looking for some good quality aztec decals. I checked out G-cals, but I don't think they have any for my ship. Do you have a recommendation on a good set?

Don't you have a 537 scale Excelsior class as well?

You should try painting the neck in gunmetal and then give it a black wash, I think you'll like it. That's how I have always done the necks for the Excelsior, and it looks spot on to my eye.

Great video.

I visited Desert Center today. It's still the same, the buildings are still there, only more graffiti on the walls.

Sir, What about the intro that started with the mountain, forest and river (example) Shown on the screen in September. That's where you took it from courtesy. Thanks 🙏

Hi buddy! I must correct you a bit! The led strips in the neck, you didn’t wire them in “series” it’s in parallel buddy! In series, you take the positive lead wire and solder to positive connection and the negative connection goes to the positive of the second and so on until the last negative connection it’s wired with the negative power lead!

Good update. Maybe I just didn't see it, but thought there are two LEDs/SMDs (one P & S) at the base of the neck that point upward to light the neck? Thought I remembered seeing that tech. from Boyd's build. Only mention it as you are trying to figure out a way to light that area by building something into the bottom of the saucer. Was not even aware of that lighting kit for the photons.....nice affect!

I also like the forward observation windows. Too bad it wasn't incorporated into the actual filming model and not just the set. Be a throwback to the forward windows on the TOS. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress.

Looking great! Love the way that forward lounge window looks. Even without the light on, you could see the wheel, which was cool. For those pieces around the deflector dish, I'm with you there. When I do that on my A, I'll be using the rounded ones, too. I have heard that the weird ones were used when the models original pieces went missing, but I have had a hard time finding the pictures of them on the model. Most close up shots of the A all seem to have the rounder ones anyway. Either way your model is looking great and I can't wait to see more.

Nice work! Just watched the original last night.

I liked Airwolf more than you did, but that's pretty gay. btw, I made my own 800 size Mi-24 Hind fuselage, and bam.

Well done Will! Great job!

Really helpful to see how you fitted the arboretum windows. The build is coming along nicely so far! Also it's nice to see a build with the new Lake Monster hangar bay; all of the build videos I have watched so far use the longer version, which is good and in fact is what I intend to use, but I hope at some point in the future to also build the 1701-A with the shorter hangar.

Glad to see you back at the -A build, I am enjoying it. But why is the video reversed? Never mind, I see that you just said why about the 8 minute mark

Thanks for the update Will. She's looking really nice.

Nice vid, very informative! I am building the refit and a little ahead of you since you took time off for the war rocket. IF I built this kit again, I wouldn't use the PE for windows. Too many complications come in when trying to fit in acrylic/plastic from water bottle to make the windows. The thin PE makes a fragile joint right at a place where you are tempted to grab the secondary hull to work on it. Always at risk of popping them in - ask me how I know. I redid both of those secondary hull windows due to joints popping. Yours look great from what I can see, but be careful. I smartened up and covered the windows with thin cardboard once I got them set. I used sheet acrylic for the windows...much clearer than the water bottle or similar plastic. Takes more time to get them to shape, but worth it. You will need some give in the sides of the secondary hull to make a good fit with the top (strong back). Fit the fantail only after you have dry fitted with the top in place. From what I can see the fantail can be positioned slightly lower or higher and if you do it incorrectly you will have a slight step where it meets the strong back. And yes, the plastic putty does a good job with the inevitable seems where the sides come together. Curious, what made you go with the shorter shuttle bay setup?

Worst replica, ever.

Brush some uv resin over it, it will help a lot. I've seen many modellers who use resin water use it to fix bad pours. Ps: the Galley is the kitchen, Gallery would be a better term.

My goodness that's incredible!!

Hi Will i know Andy (Innerlights) in fact he's not very far from me and his lighting system is awesome going to be putting it into my last ever 1/350 Refit build over the winter looking forward to seeing how you do with them in this model and congrats on the bronze for the warship

Looks like it's going to be a very interesting set of videos. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks Will.

Great review, Will. I cannot wait to see your progress on this. Definitely take your time. Maybe Jonathan can provide 2D schematics from his files in order to make sure any Aztecs you create, will line up to this casting.

Hi new to the channel , Heard what you said about the Aztecing issue their is a possible answer for you if your interested ?, Aztec Dummy does make both versions at 1/1000 scale I know because I have both kits at that scale they are basic if you had files or even the kits it would help you to no end better than starting from scratch , I know Lou helps where he can give it some thought , good luck it will be an interesting build & you can scale the aztecs to fit .

The things! You know, the THINGS that make the stopped ship go! Love the content!

I told you I'd be here! Great job on keeping the grin off your face for a whole 5 seconds during your intro BTW. (Also, I am not at all jealous!!!) There is obviously going to be a lot of work on this but you are taking the right approach by taking your time and you have been honing your skills steadily - I am confident it will be a great result!

Looking forward to your progress on this! I've got the Helios kit on order so will be nice to see other Ent-B builds first. Oh and you definitely deserved gold for that War Rocket!

Wow. This command center is out of this world. There’s even more nostalgia I’m getting from it than the ship itself.

Wow she's huge! I guess I never realized the size of her compared to the refit. She's going to be beautiful when completed.

Back in the 80s the dream kit we never got was a 1/537 USS Excelsior model. If you were fortunate you could get a resin USS Reliant kit conversion and a vacuum formed USS Grissom in 1/537. I see Marshall Models has a 1/350 USS Excelsior model now too... Woof! 😂

Very cool. That looks really great. I want to get my hands on his 1/650 Enterprise-E. I look forward to seeing your progress on this, and I'm looking forward to seeing your continuation of the Enterprise-A.

Not a big fan of the B but I'm intrigued to see what a 1/537 build will look like.

what about Patriot Rock?

I saw your build at Wonderfest over the weekend and I was blown away by your work. Really has inspired me to try and print and build this sucker. Great work, Thanks!

It's about to happen with Chinese aggressors coupled with illegal immigrants

This is an Awesome Vid

Looks fantastic. on to Wonderfest!

I think martin bower would be pleased
