3 Foot Enterprise TOS Update

Everybody quick get out your drool blankets... 
The following is an update from the 1701 club. This is showing the parts as they will look (at least that's what it seems to me.) 







 And the assembly of the test model. Again, drool drool...







 Ever get the feeling that you will need some VERY small brushes???
 What I wouldn't give to get my hands on just one of these test models....
 Color schemes are very important.
 I believe this is gonna be one of the things that I will have to decide if I want to do or not...
 Smaller dish, larger dish, decisions decisions decisions....
 Yes it will be lightable and here is the proof.


I cant wait, I cant wait! October can't come fast enough!!!!

Progress on the HMS Victory

Here is a quick update on my HMS Victory.
Progress is going slowly but that is the way I like it. UhHuh UhHuh






 A long shot of my cannon work. Note the two things I am using are glue and tweezers.
 A closeup view of finished cannon
 All the cannon came in 7 parts. Two cannon halves, two side stocks, two wheel trucks and one height adjuster.
 Cannon put together waiting trucks.
Almost finished cannon, still needs a coat of black on the cannon itself, (I know, they are already black, but they still need a coat of flat black to give them the appearance of cast iron. And to cover up glue spots.)

If you are doing or considering doing this kit, be prepared for alot of detail work. TEDIOUS!!!!
