    As always, a nice explanation on how you go about putting your Enterprise together with lighting Boyd.

    I was waiting to see your method in the side lights on the shuttle pod airlocks. Your method is similar to mine. Which make me feel good knowing I was on the right track.

    I love the constant sharing of tips that help avoid disasters.
    p.s. Avoid using Tamiya panel accents on BanDai kits, it causes the plastic to oxidize and become exceptionally brittle.

    My favorite Enterprise of them all. Looking forward to your build of this. I had a heck of a time with this kit when it first came out. So many issues with its design. I was hoping they would retool this kit some day to make the saucer and nacelle struts connect stronger and better.

    • @TrekWorks
      @TrekWorks  9 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, a new kit would be nice. Also in the smaller scale to replace the crappy 1/537. I think that would be a big seller.

    Does the kit supply clear parts for the windows? If not do you leave them open or make with pva?

      It does come with clear windows. I make my own out of clear resin or canopy glue.

      @TrekWorks That's interesting that you don't use the kits' clear parts. It would be great if you could show us how you make the windows. Hopefully, I can use your technique on other Star Trek kits.

    Hi Boyd. I'll be starting to build the 1:350 scale enterprise refit, and I noticed in part 6 you used an after market part for the back side of the impulse crystal. I believe it was by hw, but I can't seem to find it to order the kit you used. One site was a spam site, and the others I've found look nothing like the type you used a few months ago when working on the saucer section. Would you be able to send me the information and or link where you found yours. Thank you, and happy modeling.

      Hi again Boyd. Unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to find the fusion core part you used in the recent 1:350 enterprise refit your working on. It's the bottom pieces that go on the underside of the fusion core with the hole in the center to place a 5mm led light. Its two pieces, the one piece is opaque, and the piece that fits in it has already been defused. You mentioned in the video that you can go back, and paint the opaque part black to light block it. Any further assistance would be appreciated. Thanks again Boyd.
