I think with these, to get the impact you need to light them up, the idea of lighting the ship from the bottom too is cool.


Make a box with a glass front and paint the inside of it black, some small led's to light it up and it will look like something from a film

[Guest]

Yep, patience is a must for us modellers...even then it isn't enough and I end up screaming and shouting lol. The Voyager does make into a beautiful model and looks superb lighted, although I have heard that it can be fiddly getting the optics into place.

[Guest]

yes ,it will be a challenge hence I want to complete all model's after enterprise it'll be Nimitz although I,am not happy with it dragging my feet but will complete then all time will be on voyager in mean time making inquiry's with other to get as much info as possible before starting lighting is very fragile and breaks just as quick my view is it's all part of the learning stage don't know until you try ,and if doesn't work out then I can say at least I did give it a try cry

[Guest]

finished over the weekend , I dedicate this model ,to my all time favourite kids program from start star trek ,to cast those no longer with us who shared a dream that touched us all though out the years and for ever for me it has been a challenge and only hope the proof is in the completed effort for all comments chaps thank you regards cry [ATTACH]115430.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

Nice one, glad you finally completed it. It looks great and the decals are well done, you beat them well!! Excellent job on the lighting too

[Guest]

I still think that's the ugliest Enterprise ever, but you've done a great job on it James - I'd give it a great build, but I can't in this thread

[eddiesolo]

Top work, I know the fit can be a pain at times and the decals are just awful. You have nailed it James, looks superb mate.

[Guest]

o_Ocheers like with most projects when you have enough experience under you're belt you can see what path yes it was a ? for me I give 7 - 10 there parts I,am


not happy with close up ,on shelf I will in time forget setting a high stranded sometimes yes coz who like others pointing out mistake's , it's all in the game I would in future go down path again got to let some hair grow back in mean time ,well just starting voyager ,so know time for that haha many thanks on views is appreciated from all

[eddiesolo]

Relax, have a brew and then you can go into the Voyager refreshed and ready...to pull your hair out again and scream
