Taking a break from from the Beverley whilst waiting for Mikro Mir to deliver the missing engines I decided to dive into the stash and build the little kit. Polar Lights Snap kit USS Enterprise "Space Seed" edition with the S.S Botany Bay. It's a nice little kit and I was looking to light it up as well, but from the lack of pre moulded windows present in the primary and secondary hull's I decided against it. Plus I have seen a few build where this has been attempted an it looked a nightmare.... Obligatory spru shot....with options to either build the production model seen in the show or the Mirror Universe ISS Enterprise or "The Cage" pilot episode Enterprise The decal sheet is pretty decent with mirror universe options and decals for the windows too. Saucer section is coming together quickly with clear parts installed To protect the clear parts as well as the sensor array I have coated them in latex mascol for the moment Buttoned up and snapped together quite nicely, though you are left with a real nasty seem line all around the saucer section.....time to get that filler out and start sanding..... Whilst the filler was drying, I made a start on the nacelles, again really easy to put the ancillary parts slotting into place nicely. The Buzzard collectors were tinted red with Tamiya's X-27 red tint. and left to dry. I suspect that there with be a LOT of further sanding, filling, more saning to get the nacelles and pilons to sit and look just right. This was as far as I got last night before life admin took over.... I am looking forward to seeing the finished article with this build, plenty of reference material available, with a load from Doug Drexler on the Book of Face, Some of his reference pictures as a model builder for Star Trek over the years is just phenomenal....
