Hi All, BigGrin

Pack 4 for the Enterprise has landed.ThumpUp This pack covers issues 11 - 14 and we will cover additions to the "Battle Section Rear Neck", plus further extend the frame of the main saucer.

Issue 11.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1, you will also need the battle station rear neck and the frame of the saucer as built so far.

Bring the rear neck to the table and position the left window panel 11B as shown in Pic 2.

Locate the wired led`s 11E, (this one is slightly longer) and very carefully bend the black/yellow wires next to the led at 90 degrees, Pic 3. Apologies for the quality of the Pic, got in a bit too close. Blushing Blink

You now have to locate an led from the wires 11E and 11D into the positions next to the windows you just positioned. The black/yellow one 11E we just bent at 90 degrees goes at the narrowest point of the rear neck and the yellow/green one from 11D goes above. With the led`s in place position the window reflector 11C over them and fix it in place using 4 x BP screws. All shown in Pic 4.

Testing will be done in issue 12, when the next windows are fitted.

Now place the frame piece 11A as shown in Pic 5 for orientation, then position it and fix it in place using 4 x BM screws as in Pic 6. To show how big the frame is getting I left a full sized screwdriver next to it in Pic 7.

Issue 12 update coming soon.

Hi All, BigGrin

This is the next update for the Enterprise "D" with issue 12. In this update we will add the second window assembly in the narrow end of the "Battle Section Rear Neck" and add support brackets to each end of the saucer frame.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1, you will also need the battle section rear neck, circuit board, battery box and the saucer frame.

Bring the Battle Section Rear Neck to the table and place the window section 12C into position, Pic 2.

Now locate the led 11E with the Red/Blue wires, which is paired to the one fitted in the narrow end of the neck (fitted in the last update) and carefully bend the wires 90 degrees to the led. Pic 3. Position the second led`s from 11D and 11E, place the reflector 12D over the window panel and led`s and fix it in place using 4 x BP screws, all shown in Pic 4. That`s it for the work on the neck, Pic 5. Just the testing to do.

TEST: Plug the battery box lead into socket "F" on the circuit board and Leads 09E, 10F, 11D and 11E into sockets "A" to "D". Everything should light up, Pic 6.
When the test is complete, carefully disconnect the cables from the circuit board.

That just leaves the support brackets to add to the saucer framework. Add a support 12A and 12B to each end of the frame using 8 x BM screws in total, two for each bracket, Pics 7 and 8. The whole frame is shown in Pic 9.

That`s all for this update, see you soon for issue 13.Drool

Hi All, BigGrin

Here we are with the update for issue 13 of the Enterprise "D". We will start to add the Main Impulse Engine in the Battle Section Rear Neck and add the next section to the ever growing frame of the saucer.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1, you will also need the Battle Section Rear Neck and the frame of the saucer.

Start with the Battle Section Rear Neck and at the narrow end add part 13B, the Main Impulse Engine, Pic 2. Then fix this in place using 3 x DP screws, Pic 3. NOTE: Be careful not to over tighten the screws or you may crack the part.

Now take the frame as already built and add part 13A, fixing it in place using 4 x BM screws, Pic 4. The whole frame as it is now, is shown in Pic 5.

That`s all for this update. Blink Keep the Main Impulse Engine reflector 13C safely until the next update, Issue 14.

Hi All, BigGrin

Now its time for the last update of Pack 4 of the Enterprise, with issue 14. In this update we extend the frame of the saucer and light up the main impulse engine.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1. You will also need the frame of the saucer, the Battle Section Rear Neck and the Main Impulse Engine reflector 13C from the last update.

Start with the frame and add part 14A securing it to the supports using 4 x BM screws, Pic 2. The frame completed to this point is shown in Pic 3.

Now the Battle Station Rear Neck. To start, take the part 13C from the last issue and slide the clear lens supplied with this issue 14B inside, Pic 4. Then slide those parts inside the Red lens already attached to the Rear Neck in the last update, Pic 5.

Next assemble the circuit board 14D onto its mount 14C, using the locating pin and a BP screw as in Pic 6. Now position that assembly into position in the Rear Neck and fix it in place using 2 x CP screws, Pic 7.

TEST: I had the test circuit board still attached to the previously fitted led`s, so I plugged the battery pack into position "F" as it had been before and the Impulse engine led into position "E". Result in Pic 8.

That`s all for this pack, so I`ll be back as soon as the next one arrives. ThumpUp
