Warp Speed

























I'll put a final one up once the decals are done, I'll wait till the madness dies down here though before doing them as they have to be properly alligned etc. Sorry for the blurry images too, camera is rubbish

Seems like you've taken some damage or the engineers are slacking again, one of the nacelle isn't lit up

Looks really good, well done.

(I have the same Creative speakers)

They only light on the inner sections, havn't you watched the films?

Those creative speakers are pretty good!

Learn something new everyday and it's a good reason to start up the blu-ray player
Main reason I thought one was out was I thought all the angles were from the same side, missed an image or two.

The speakers are very good, the 2.1 setup was on sale sometime ago and couldn't resist.

Yeah I've a lot of the Starboard Nacelle lighting, not so many of the port. I never noticed, just grabbed a load of pics. Very nice little kits they are, really wished they made more of them. An Excelsior would be the dream.

Yep I've the 2.1's aswell just for the htpc, they do the job nicely

The images are there, just I missed them when looking through, 1, 5 and 6 of the last post show it lit up nicely.

Very nice, I have it myself to make at some stage. I'm a long way off doing it though, it's an absolute beast of a kit & I'll need to develop my airbrush skills to do it justice.

Where did you get it from? Some of the guys on starship modeller have made some seriously cool builds of it.

Some examples:

This is scratch-built :eek::eek:

Great thread, makes me very jealous! Never realised the NX-01 has port-and-starboard lights, lovely detail.

As in the red & green on the saucer? Yep, the kit normally gives you transparent coloured caps for those, & they use the white light from the interior for the effect. I changed them to actual led's though to make them more pronounced like the screen version.

Have you started this or made any progress with it?

Nice job, I loved models as a child, have a kilngon bird of prey (not in great nick unfortunately). Well done!

Loving that you have DVD's of the outer limits in the background

It took a grueling 40secs to build my Galaxy Class.

Nice little model, any details on it? Matchbox?

Myrddin

Just a heads up, there's a Bandai NX-01 on adverts for €60, brand new in box seemingly. Well worth it, these sell for much more online

A final shot before the five of them go into mothballs storage

The constitution class is a beautiful looking model.

Fair play enter, they all look awesome.
Yoyager looks quite elegant there, the deflector dish makes it stand out imo

Cheers man, they're all really easy to build though. They're pre-painted & no glue is required either, they more or less all clip together. The lighting in them is very easy to wire up too so there's nothing special about them...apart from how bloody nice they are

Cookie_Monster

not to scale though, voy is too big and ent-e to small, right?

They're all 1:850 scale, so the bigger ships obviously will look smaller in comparison to the smaller ones

Very nice work there EnterNow, they look really well done.
Although tiny in comparison the NX-01 is quite nice.

Just spent about three hours this morning making the 1701 (well 90% of it). I know it's pre-painted etc but I've never gone near making any sort of model before! Great fun indeed to see it coming together as you make it. Thanks to EnterNow for this thread as I would never have known about this range only for him. Super super quality photos as well. I was coming here to ask about the wiring in the motor but one of the photos cleared things up for me!

How do you know how long to cut the wiring to? You'd think they'd be pre-made wouldn't you?

Those bloody nacelles were hard going and I agree with EnterNow's comment about the connection between them and the secondary hull being flimsy (even though that was the Refit I believe).

Think I'll go looking for the Enterprise E now!

They really are gorgeous models, & great fun to build because they come together very quickly. I actually didn't cut the wires for the nacelle lighting, so ended up with a fair amount of slack - which in turn became a bit of a nightmare fitting it all into the secondary hull, prob should have cut them!

The Enterprise-E is a cracking one, my fav is prob Voyager though it's much bigger than the rest of the line & has really good detail

VanZan

Yeah I'm stuck at the moment as I don't have something like a razor blade to do the very short ones for the motor. Enterprise E has been added to my eBay saved searches list! I got lucky with this one as I ordered it from Hong Kong and customs didn't cop on! Saved around €40. I was delighted.

Nothing to snip the wires? Bah, use your teeth man!

If anyone spots a polar lights 1:350 Enterprise A for a decent price, do let me know
