Nacelles and impulse engines painted a lighter grey and masks removed. Will leave for another few days before I mask off those areas. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

While I wait for the decals to set on the Delta Flyer, back to the #Enterprise G I go. Masked off the dark grey areas on the nacelles and impulse engines so I can paint a lighter grey. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Warp nacelles masked

Got the gloss coat on just before going to bed. Today I’ll be applying the decals then hopefully the final clear coat later this afternoon. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #DeltaFlyer #Voyager #Federation #Shuttle #72Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All the ventral markings, name and registry decals have been applied to NCC-1794. Now for the dorsal decals.

All ventral Aztec decals have now been applied. Will leave them overnight before moving on to the dorsal decals. Really need to start thinking about a name and registry for it.

Windows masked off on the Delta Flyer, I applied epoxy glue to the cockpit and it’s being held down in place by masking tape instead of clamps. Next up is more gap filling with .

Turned out okay, not great but not bad either. Maybe Revell could consider make this a clear part, it would solve the problem. Anyway, next up is a gloss coat to prepare for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ConstitutionClass #KelvinTimeline #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Applied PVA Glue to these areas behind the bridge. Once they’ve set, I’ll paint them transparent blue/green. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ConstitutionClass #KelvinTimeline #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

First light blocking coat of black has been applied. Before I do more, I’ll need to go over some more areas with to get the bits I missed (I really need to start wearing my glasses).

Clamps and masking tape removed from the nacelles. Next up is gap/seam filling with .

I’ve painted the inside of each part black followed by silver to help light bounce around and marked out the areas where I will be putting LEDs. I will begin wiring up the saucer section first.

Had to modify the saucer edge and the aft end of each nacelle to allow fibre optic cable to go in the correct place and drilled all the holes for the nav’s and strobes.

Couple of new arrivals today that I’m excited about. The Light kit and photoetch for the 1/350 Kronos One model (which is still to arrive) and the Neo Constitution class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G. Once I’m over Covid, I’ll be able to get started.

Enterprise G model parts laid out on top of a cutting mat.
