Hi, I enjoyed this. Disclosure, I have loved Star Trek since the premiere on NBC in 1966. So, yes... I'm THAT old! Also, yes, I build models of many kinds. BTW, you might know of the RUclipsr Lou Dalmaso? His channel is "Aztek Dummy" and he creates paint masks for many kits (not just Star Trek). I have no affiliation with Mr. Dalmaso, I just enjoy his products. High quality. Anyways, they are sold online from outlets such as CultTVman, to name just one.
Great video! It's my understanding that the shuttle exterior was built to 3/4 scale, and the real thing is 33' long. If that's true, the shuttle should be 44' long in the full size to allow people to enter and exit without bending. Was the interior set built for 33' or 44'?
You are just about right. There was, of course, a "full size" mock-up built for exterior shots. That has actually been found, and completely restored! Sorry I don't know the links, but you can Google. For interior shots, in typical Hollywood fashion, they built separate interior sets. Just as with the bridge, sections were "wild", meaning they could move around to allow cameras in for different angles.
@@captaind6178 The original shuttle, refurbished, will be displayed in Ticonderoga, NY, at the "Star Trek" Sets Tour. It would be nice to see one built to the full-sized scale.
I got the older version of the shuttle for Christmas. The plan is that I get the interior in February (sooner you don't get it in Germany) and then install it afterwards. Is there a build step on the old shuttle that I am allowed to build up to so that the interior can still be retrofitted? Or in other words: How far may I build the old model so that the interiror can still be built into the shuttle?
Regarding the engine housing and the roof gluing: I decided not to glue my roof on because I knew this was coming out and I wanted to be able to add this in. I did, however, glue the engine assembly to the sides. It flexes pretty easily and I can slide the roof on and off quite easily.
Nice but I prefer no characters/figures in my models. Then again if they're gonna provide figures, I wish they were the characters from the episode "The Galileo 7".
Thank you for showing the new figures on the bridge. They look pretty good!
Great video and presentation.

I hope there is enough room between the interior roof and the shuttlecraft roof piece for light sheet or EL lamp to light up the interior.
T. Enlow, I'm new to the hobby. What is a EL Lamp?
@@joncooper2295 Jon, it's easier if you utube or Google it. It won't let me use a link for some reason.
Any chance you could post the instructions and/or a paints list somewhere? Thanks!
I believe the Round 2 site may be able to help you with this.🙂
