philc Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi all. Going to be building the Revell USS Voyager kit with lighting and photo etch. Been many many moons since my last build which was the Revell 1:700 Bismarck (dont ask for photos waayyyy before digital cameras and the Interwebs) Decided on Voyager as she is my favourite Trek ship and was possibly the last film/tv ship to use a physical studio model for shots before CGI became ubiquitous. Fully expect to make an @rse of it after three decades away from modelmaking so will be getting my hand back in with a couple of the airfix doubles kits first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well we've all made '@rses of it' at one point or another. As Corsair says, there's no rush and you got plenty of help here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philc Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Cheers folks been trying to gather as many reference photos as possible. Most of the studio model photos are so grainy and poor as to be useless. I did find this site http://www.mike-reiss.com/3d/startrek-voyager.php#voyager_perspektive Pretty spectacular and accurate detail on there.

philc Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Some more goodies on the way. Ordered these mainly for the teensy little decals I may be able to get a nicer print in clear resin from my Photon s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
