I have printed a 3x scale version of the Phoenix and am following your trail of detailing. Given how big what I am building is; I am using rattle can painting for broad colors. Phil, have have wanted to make videos of my processes. I appreciate your ability to translate what's flowing around in your head 'out there' and will try to take baby steps to do the same.

What, why, how, etc. Don't you get the decals in the basic kit? 😢 I have not got to the end of the video yet, so haven't seen how expensive it is. But with any kind of model like this we ought to get everything we need to make a good basic model. I'm fine with upgrades like lights and or sound. But come on guys decals should not have to be an optional extra 🙄

Meanwhile, I'm trimming up an old Airfix Hercules that has an instruction sheet that must have been tasty to a mouse or something. On the plus side, I just picked the kit up for 25 bucks, so I can let go and not really GAF about how bad it really is...going to even use the worst RCAF decals I could ever have had an excuse for keeping.

80 for the shuttle bay part? What's it made from, gold pressed latinum?

Another great build from you! Inspirational you are!

I would have hoped they would have had a set of decals with just the escape pods, registry and star fleet pendants. That way Lou would make some vinyl masks you could use for all panel work. Considering the scale maybe Lou could make masks for all of it.

I subrcibed just to watch this being built. The lighting is the thing that caught my attention. I'm sure this model is well into the 1000's of USD (their DS-9 is around 4G) so being a a Prof. of Electronics with particular interest in MCUs. The only thing I see is that the NXP chip being used has more than likely been programmed by NXP so it's proprietary meaning if it breaks or dies its yours and no way to get at it from outside. But this is just me being an Open Source kind of guy. I bet this builds into a magnificent ship and I really hope for the best with the electronics. (PS...SMD means Surface Mount Device. What you have is addressable LED's.....just sayin) . Truly Good Luck

Will be a long build but will look spectacular when finished. What style of aztec will you be painting, season one or later?

Hi Phil. Well, you really are a sucker for punishment! 😲 It's not long since you were wrestling with the infamous 1/350 refit and now this monster. All those bits, no instructions and suspect decals. Rather you then me! Happy birthday for a few weeks (the day before my mother's and just over a week after mine!) Hopefully Lou will be able to provide moral/practical/alcoholic support during his visit. Looking forward to those updates. Good luck with this build - have fun and we'll see you in a couple of years! BTW, regarding real-estate, has Mrs. Sprueverse seen this behemoth yet? 😳

Phil, this is a massive and ambitious project. Holy heck, man!What a test of patience this will be. For me, the biggest issue is the decals. If I understood you correctly, you need to trim them all out from the carrier film. That would be a deal breaker for me. Pulling for you on this, friend. Will be watching.

You're a braver soul that I. That is literally a LARGE project. I'm assuming that Lou will be making masks for all 1 million windows! Can't wait to see more.

So excited to follow your build of this! Show us all the details!!!

Phil see if Lou can make paint mask for the shuttle vay ,ships,and cargo.?

Phil question? Can you pre colour the resin then put in the applicator put a lable on it marked black windows, and another marked clear windows so you don't have to paint out the windows later?

Holy Modeling Hell! Hat's off to you for tackling this behemoth. Looking forward to you and Lou doing an episode together. It'll be better than Martin and Lewis!

Is this a new kit compared to what Lou did and Canadian Starships is doing?

Full scale is 3.2 miles wide

I asked Helios about attaching the nacelles, and we're supposed to drill into the pylons so they can be held on with pins or screws.

WOW! WOW! WOW! What an awesome project Phil. Can't wait for the next episode of this build. Exciting. Wishing you the best on this one, I can see this throwing up some challenges and look forward to seeing how you overcome these.

Thanks for another enjoyable video. Great build!

Going to be an epic build I am sure it will look Fantastic look forward to the future updates. I am starting my 1/350 NX01 going to do my own thing with the lights wish me luck, paint should be fine as I have Lou’s masks

The reason i’ve fully opened that phaser ring is because I will be using a much higher definition phaser effect using addressable high density LED strip on its side. Placing the individual LED’s in those 5mm openings so close to the surface of the strip may very well give you a low res effect with very visible individual light sources.

One thing I noticed is missing are the round windows on top of the secondary hull. So we'll probably need to drill those out.

Excellent 👍🏻 🖖🏻

Have you negotiated with Mrs SprueVerse where this behemoth is going?

Great build Phil! You are a lucky one having the master and guru at your corner! I’m also a Virgo and mine it’s the 28th! We are awesome!👍 Love your videos and builds Phil! Greetings from Belgium!

Love it! UV Resin for small windows that don't have any detail behind them is a godsend. I'm using it for my FanHome Enterprise-D and it looks so much better than the individual windows in the kit!

Clearly, Phil, your real estate negotiations with Mrs. S. have been moved to The Hague. And I wish you a lot of luck. Me--? I'm not in favor of working this large on anything. The last thing this size for me was my wife's car. I replaced the front end body and am still nursing various grudges. I did learn a valuable lesson: don't do that again. I am finding their FaceBook and web site pages remarkably empty of price structure for this thing. I may not seem terribly mercenary but when it comes to models-- especially a model big enough to motorize for personal transport-- I get mercenary. The one price I noted was 7,000 Euros for that 6" Ent E. A little math and I am getting $5Kilobucks total for this Ent D. Which is a big number, but not ridiculous, all things considered. Otherwise the site is modest enough considering the effort involved in all their projects. In fact, your one declaration of something wrong in that wonky bridge is utterly bewildering when the level of material science is so extraordinarily top-notch. I'll make a suggestion-- and I hope this doesn't arrive, through accident of time and space, too late-- but you might ask if there's a replacement insert available for that mushy bridge detail. It seems it was made to be popped out and replaced. The one thing they *don't* show on that website is the mold used to make those gigantic resin casting-- those windows alone are unnerving me. That would be fascinating. I also didn't catch a glimpse of what must a huge custom pressure chamber for that casting. Big enough for a turkey platter. Using a 1-inch pipe seems like overkill to me. I have minimalistic tendencies for any of my model mounts and I'd run that down to 1/2-inch. You edged up to the idea of housing the circuit board light/sound controller, out of the model and in the base. That makes sense to me for all sorts of reasons. Then, that smaller pipe might pose a tight fit for the entire suite of wiring from base to model. Then I might begrudge 3/4-inch... As for the LCARS "suggested" model base size-- well, they may have you there. Whatever your base turns out to be, it's gotta be sizeable. With all that being said, this is BIG modeling and I hail you for getting involved-- I hail Lou too (all this carrying on applies to him as well-- though let's see his bridge!) -- though can you imagine his mask set if the decals ran to 28 pages!!! It's going to be a fun ride.

Great informative start to the build, will be following closely. I had planned to do my own Arduino system for the lighting/sounds effects but may wait to see what Inner Light produce. Will have to look at my top saucer now to see if I have the same issues as your saucer.

I don't know, Phil. I would be seeking a replacement saucer with a better bridge before starting.

Wow, that thing looks awesome. I want to get my hands on that one, for sure. Have fun with it, and I look forward to seeing this progress!

now I'M the one curled up in the corner in the fetal position...

I should imagine this kit is very expensive and with the price in mind it's a bit of a piss take that they don't include the decals for free like most model kits

Phil I've come over from Wayne's channel I'm a newcomer and this looks an awesome build bar the lighting loads of soldering etc can't find this on Helios Web site is this a one of or special order Thanks you and good luck to with this build.

Great start to the build. Loved watching this while I was editing my video. This is ganna be an amazing build.

Where can I find purchase information?

IS THAT CHRISTOPHER LEE MUMMY

This is my favorite airplane of all-time and the number one model kit that i want to build. My problem is that I am disabled and unable to work anymore so I live on a very fixed income and I live in my 1967 GM TDH-4519 city transit bus full-time in the high desert of New Mexico. I am hoping that one day i will be able to get that kit and book as i find building models to be very therapeutic.

Hi Phill love the kane kit I two have this kit also what resistor u use on the lights and what color u use for the eggs I love it

Great job, Phil. It looks pretty good for an ugly duckling. Remember the story about the ugly duckling? It turned into a beautiful swan.

could you share a link to the fibre optics please?

That came out great Phill!

We all have our senior moments 😂

I like the tug Phil. Nice build. Thanks for sharing.

Love what you do and I would like to say also that l still watch the 1996 Doctor Who movie all these years later. I have been a fan since 1974 and would sell my soul to make a Doctor Who movie

Awesome job! Gotta admit, sometimes when I want a section in silver, I really just use aluminium tape flattened with a toothpick and then move on to the next detail.

Phil, you did a great job on the tug. It is a wonderful ugly duckling and that is great for world building in a movie. 🖖🖖🖖You always emphasize to have fun while building and thank you for that. Getting all caught up "in the weeds" about details/things should not ruin one's hobby. Have a great day!

Great vid Phil, as usual. Great to see an obscure model. Thanks.

I really like the look of that tug. You did a fine job on a kit that was definitely not a "shake and bake." I'm glad you don't have a problem with departing from canon, too.

Just love it!
