Well considering we do not have a section for SciFi and in some ways it is a Ship (unless anyone can tell me otherwise?) I thought I would post this here until its moved

I have had this in the Loft for about 2 years and always thought that I would build it when I had the room due to it's size!! (it's only 1/350th) Yes thats big So due to not having the room I'm going to build it anyway lol.. I'll do a build diary starting next year so pop back if your interested in SciFi or StarTreK

That's a good kit. I would love to see a sci-fi section on the forum, most of my favourite kits from years ago were all sci-fi subjects, I've still got my Buck Rogers Marauder kit which I super-detailed with an open cockpit and removed body panels etc. (Needs a really good dust I'm afraid but still looks good under it's 'protective' layer!
Somewhere I've got another Klingon D7 and a small group of the excellent S.F.3.D. robot suits to make. I saw some of them on ebay recently, don't know whether to make them or store them in a bank vault! What a price!

Best of Luck

I had'nt until you mentioned it!!! be a shame not too I guess Tom

Hi
I have one of these kits in the workshop 1/350 Enterprise
also have the lighting kit which i bought from the US still need to buy
two sets of Photoetch sheets also from the US soldering knowledge
required for lighting kit also need a transformer for power to the lights
I have not the time to build this at this at present so i am looking forward to your build there are some excellent build diaries on youtube
google 1/350 enterprise
Make it so

Goodbye

Thought I would relight this thread as to why it's been put on hold.

I have been gaining aftermarket decals, LED's etc as I did not wan't to just build this "out of box" Hopefully the full decal set will arrive shortly from the US and the LED's etc have been posted so should recieve them soon too.. I did not go for the expensive lighting kit but more of smaller flashing (variable speeds) and colour LED's running from 9v Batteries... a custom made display base with switches will need to be made too.

I'm also hoping there will be enough LED's left over for the JJPrise in 1/500 to do at a later date and if all goes well then there's the Revell "Millenium Falcon" and "Slave 1" to do... oh and the "Enterprise "D" (original AMT) and the re-release "StarTrek "Voyager"

Just want to thank FifthAce for his LED ship builds and passing on the "Bug" so to speak seen what you've started??????

I think thats where I got them from Dom but on Ebay.... 7.99 each set and got 4 different sets...

The Decals are the full Aztec with 3 different engineering colours (grey,Green and blue) 5 massive sheets waiting to arrive

Spence

LED's turned up today just need to learn electronics now!!

The full set of Aztec Decals arrived today but have to collect from post office tomorrow as I have to pay £9 import duty but still well worth the money..

Spent a fortune at Maplin today too!! buying extra led's, Circuit boards and a 555 Astable Switch kit that generates pulses at regular intervals from .5 seconds to over 5 seconds... so that will do the navigation lights.

3v-12 power supply
Temperature controlled solder station, Solder, Wire (red and white)
Dual Strobeoscope kit and 2ft of LED tape

Come to think of it, it might have been cheaper to get the lighting kit for $300 but there's no fun in that is there????

I love my little arduino :) programmable control for the LED's
