you have made me get my old equipment out again i always did startrek and did my own lighting systems probably bojed it but it worked and still dose to this day. there at my dad's and uncles' house in it's pride of place as they truly love them. it's the kids we had i had to put it all away due to the parts and the dangers. watching you has made me really think about starting it all up aging as it was so much fun with a massive sense of achievement. you can never go wrong making them just backwords if needed to repair a mistake. thank you for making me want to get back into this hobby again
@@OtakuBuilder + love this build I have 4 of these kits plus the photo etch but I have 5 project that I am currently working on including the 1/350 scale USS Enterprise from TOS I have 2 of them the one I am working on will not have lights because it's the first pilot version witch didn't have lights I also have the lighting kit from round 2 this are beautiful kits love to watch how people takle them great job
Very nice work man. I enjoyed the whole hour. I used to build these kits as a kid but after I moved away from home as a young adult I had no time for them. The one I had built were destroyed as my mother and dad moved around, but I really enjoy watching these build, yours was intensive. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your next build. LLAP.
When I was a kid _my_ dad came home with an OS-Enterprise (the only Trek the world had yet experienced) because he knew that Star Trek was SO important to me . I had a more than casual exposure to Scale Modeling because of my FANATIC _LOVE_ for Aircraft Scale Modeling (dad was an Air Force SAC Flight Officer ... ) so I was prepared to *DO this* - at a proficiency level that set me apart from my buds who were also fans . I DID the included lighting effects , even tho I was the only one of my friends to take it that far . The results - for the day - were EXCELLENT even _with_ the use of ALL hand-painting , where necessary . Since then , THAT incarnation of my modeling is LONG PAST and is no longer something I can pass down to MY grand kids , but recently I found an OS-Enterprise of the same scale as my ORIGINAL but without the originally included lighting package . I _plan_ (hope) to _someday_ share this experience with _MY_ grand kids , as you describe sharing with _your_ kids , at the end of this vid . While I could NEVER _HOPE_ to duplicate the effort and _results_ of what you've shared _here_ , I _DO_ expect the results to be WORTHY of the inspiration you've provided , and want to THANK you for the welcome encouragement ! The production of QUALITY MINIATURES is a DIRECT reflection of the LEGACY being preserved , and _I_ think , an important preservation AND expression _of_ that Legacy for the future . _I_ was inspired to go into Engineering Design as a result of my OS-Trek Experience ( I wanted to BE Captain Kirk !! ) , and something LIKE _this_ can continue to inspire excellence on the hearts of _OUR_ children, as WE _try_ to encourage a sense of *_hopefulness_* in _our_ kids and grand-kids . The *_real_* world that Trek gave us offers a CHANCE for a _future_ our children can live and prosper in . This Vid offers a _tangible_ help for _encouraging_ that *hopeful-look- **_forward_* so important - *especially* right _now_ . The World - _WIDE_ impact of the *Trek Mythology* offers a (hopefully) resilient component for this Historical LEGACY for our CHILDREN'S future , and is _part_ of why _I_ think the inspiration offered by presentations of _this_ sort are REALLY so important ! Ok , THAT'S _MY_
🖖😉👍Looking very great so far on the details with the painting and decals and lighting and everything else so far a job very nicely well done indeed Sir!,👌.
Yes! Glen and company are the best! Before moving from LA a little over a year ago, my friend Louis and I had a weekly ritual where we'd head over to the House of Hobbies after lunch at Islands. The folks at BHoH are great. And great build on the Enterprise.
The patience and commitment to both construct this and document the process must have been tremendous. The result on both ends is absolutely brilliant. When you showed your dad's model, I was suddenly 30 years younger, building and painting a similar one with my Aunt. Thanks so much for bringing us along for the ride.
Hi Otaku (Mr Otaku?) Impressive work. I used to make plastic models when I was 8 years old. I stole 50 pence (UK) from my step mother to buy a model and some glue and sit on the side of the road building with no tools. I couldn't make them at home for obvious reasons... I am now 60 and am busy buying all I need to get back into the hobby. The models I have collected, but, not built yet include Bandai's perfect grade Millennium falcon, this kit you have just magnificently built, it's matching 1/350 Klingon D7 and a lot of others. I hope to learn from people like you and live long enough to build these magnificent kits. Thank you for the inspiration!
This looks amazing. This is stuff I have always had a huge interest in and have always wanted to do, but could never afford so i have to live vicariously through those of you who can afford to do this. Just the models themselves are way out of my price range, let alone the paints, airbrush, lighting, etc.
Truly beautiful work. I get the impression your father is no longer with you. I am certain that he is proud of such excellent work. As a long-time Trekker, it's inspirational.
Your skill and attention to the modeling process in dealing with the details are amazing. I hope you added a fuse on your power line in to protect all your led work.
Normally I dont post comments but. Early this year I lost my grandmother to cancer. She got me into star trek at quite a young age with the films from the motion picture to nemesis. I'll always be glad to have seen a glimpse of what could one day become fact. Despite everything wrong with our world I hope that one day we can finally see past our differences. Put racism and prejudice in the past where it belongs and live together and strive to better ourselves every day. All it takes is a few good people to guide us to the stars. (Side note. I never expected to type all that at 2am)
The enterprise looks gorgeous and so does the one your father built for you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'd love to get into model building but the price is a massive barrier for me.
Late comment to the party, but seeing the Enterprise that your dad did which inspired you to start modeling was like a blast from the past for me. Not only did my dad also get me into model building, but your dad's paint and construction of that old-school Enterprise-A looks almost EXACTLY like the one I built 30+ years ago using the exact same paint colors he did (all per the manual!) and with only hand-painting with brushes. The crudeness was unavoidable, and it's really a testament to how far the hobby has come since then, especially with UA-cam and the amount of resources people have to draw on for techniques. Back in the days when your dad and I built kits, all we had were the manuals and maybe a modeler's magazine. It's so great to see what people are capable of these days.
This kit has been sitting on my shelf for over a year now. I'm almost too afraid to put it together if i is the right kind of love you see here. beautifully done, Otaku.
I was going to watch something spooky before bed because it's October, but I wound up watching your spooky good skills instead. Yes, I hit the subscribe button. I've been watching TrekWorks for many, many years, and I'm surprised that I only just now discovered your channel.
Superb, it takes skill and patients (both of which I do not have) to make a model to this standard. I'd love to be rich enough to pay someone to build it for me. 👌
Amazing build and thanks for sharing your journey on how you got into model kit building. Your channel helped me pick up gunpla building and painting again after a 15 year hiatus. I always look forward to your content.
Wow. Very impressive, love the Aztecs done in the shimmer colours. That Enterprise nr the end of the video, that your father gave you - I have the exact same one from many many years ago - no airbrushing or high grade masking stuff then. As you said, it was a steady hand, and LOTS of time spent pulling my hair out and retouching areas. Also have the Enterprise D with a crappy glass bulb (rice grain size) that really needs pulling apart (that's gonna be 'interesting'), and LEDs fitted instead. You've given me the incentive to completely redo it. New lighting and shimmer paint aztecs. Should only take about a year 😉🤣🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
Super fantastic build my friend. I too am building my 1:350 Refit, nearly done. I know how this build can be so to those who never built a 1:350 Enterprise Refit...do your research on the ship and colors and make sure you have all the supplies needed and most importantly take your time and if you make a mistake, walk away and come back with fresh eyes and a rested mind after all it's just plastic and it can be fixed...ask me how I know lol
Great build you have there, and excellent video production value to your presentation here. You've convinced me I have to get my first Enterprise build from the late '70s (1/537, what may be left of it) out of storage before I attempt to record a 1/350 build. You bring a wonderful story in these two chapters. I picked up a 1/350 refit in the summer of 2021, and have dabbled some on the interiors with scratch-building but have extra pieces to do that with. I expect my build to take much more time than yours especially considering the time already, and I'm still in the gathering stage as I tinker with interior things to add to the build. Love the nod you give to the model shop, because quality shops are getting fewer and further apart and are such a valuable resource for all the little things. Sure, you can get pretty much everything online but there's a whole depth of experience in those hobby stores where, like here, you can get ideas and wisdoms from a random contact, store clerk, or display, that can take a build in incredible directions than you had thought of previously. Thanks
Your process is mesmerizing and the finished product is jaw-dropping gorgeousness 😮 I lack the meticulousness and talent needed for this level of work. Thank you!
I've been an avid Trek fan for four decades. In fact, the first projected film I recall seeing was The Wrath of Khan. In all the decades of my sci-fi passion, I think I will always come back to the Constitution Refit as the sexiest starship design ever. It's the perfect combination of real life form and function. This build is a testament to that timeless design and to your patience and skill. Saying "well done" seems shallow and superficial, but well done, sir. I wish I had a tenth of the skill you possess in your right pinky finger.
Just came across this, and an amazing video and commentary. And the Lighting kit is so subtle but so spot on compared to what other people... it's simple amazing.
Thank you so much for the kind compliment. I really like making starship video builds. Unfortunately they don't do well on youtube. But that's still not going to stop me😊👌🏾
It was well worth the wait !!!!! She turned out better than Scottie could have imagined. The amount of love shows in your work. Keep at it my man, stay well !!!!!! Till the next one.
I watched both the videos from Beginning to end. I enjoyed it very much. I do both star trek and gunpla models also. I'm still a novice. But I would love to watch you do Enterprise - E
Another great build Otaku. As someone who you got in to the hobby, thank you! Started with a simple HG Leo (still one of my fav kits! the simplicity is just nice) and now I have built the MG Wing Zero Custom Ver Ka, working on a MG Deathscythe Hell Custom with Heavy Arms and Epyon on deck, getting ready for my two most difficult builds, the archangel from Gundam Seed, which I am learning to air brush for, and then the MGEX Strike Freedom. Its been a long, enjoyable and expensive journey. But its gotten me through some tough times and some great times. Keep building my guy! Can't wait to see what's next! Thank you again my guy.
This was a great series on a great build but the end really got me. My Dad made me, if not the exact same kit, than the same model of the refit Enterprise in the same scale. It looked very similar to yours, very basic but nice. It hung from fishing string in my bedroom for years until it fell and was broken. I wish I'd been able to fix it, I'd love to have it. After about a 20 year hiatus, I picked up the hobby again and my first build was the Polar Lights 1/1000 scale refit Enterprise which I did as the 1701-A. Great work on a beautiful model!
Thru trials and tribulations.. ups and downs.. moving forward beacuse you are too stuborn to quit.. remembering the difference between a hero and a ordanary person is holding on for five more seconds.. and then five more.. Well done.. as a Marine I apreciate the dedication.. the focus.. and the sheer will to complete it.. I kept up with your little notification post.. woking in the real world.. working the problem.. adapting and overcoming.. I think you have in you somewhere the soul of a Marine.. Outstanding Sir.. Indeed!
I see you running power cables through what looks like a random set of holes in the top of the engineering section, and I'm thinking, "Bro, what are you doing?" But then I remembered the neck would be going there... :P
This was really beautiful. I understand the desire to maintain a positive legacy. It really speaks to me. Passing on something that brought you so much joy shared with your parents in your youth. I started young as far as parenthood goes. I have three beautiful kids and at 30, my oldest will be seven soon. It's surreal. Only in recent years did I really dive headfirst back into stuff I really loved as a kid. Collecting toys and now I like building model kits. I want to preserve it and pass it on to my little ones while I can.
When you first started posting pictures of this build on Instagram I knew it was going to be something special and you knocked it out of the park. The details are perfect, the lines are crisp, and everything looks amazing! Also congrats on passing 50k subscribers, that's great to see. Your videos got me into gunpla modeling back in 2020 and it's been such a rewarding and fun hobby that I can't thank you enough for what you do. Looking forward to what the future brings for you, keep up the amazing work!!
Amazing! I just ordered a model and I'll embrace the challenge of being so focus on detail as you are. At the end when you said it took you 4 months showed me I'll be in the right track. Think through every step, test, sleep and no rush. I'll leave you with the words of Admiral McCoy "You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home"
You could always use 2 mm tower (or "lighthouse") LED's to get a kind of spotlight on a certain area easier than the method you were using. They have a variety of colors and you can get them in either clear or diffused. They're great for putting a light spot right where you want it.

The USS Enterprise refit was the starship that got me into Star Trek and became my first model kit. Long live the name Enterprise
You did the old girl proud...Beautiful!!!
I sure hope so 😆 Thanks for watching 💙
That model turned out amazing that would be so cool to have sitting on a desk in your room at night

Congrats on loving this hobby so much. I have been loving it for 55 years now.
Outstanding work!! I look forward to your next build.
EXCELLENT work on this model.
That last part, I'm 38, and I'm still loving and loving my Mastergrade Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny Model collection....
Amazing, just amazing. I wish I had the patience to produce the same effects.I am a trekkie and amateur model builder awsome work.

This was really beautiful. I understand the desire to maintain a positive legacy. It really speaks to me. Passing on something that brought you so much joy shared with your parents in your youth. I started young as far as parenthood goes. I have three beautiful kids and at 30, my oldest will be seven soon. It's surreal. Only in recent years did I really dive headfirst back into stuff I really loved as a kid. Collecting toys and now I like building model kits. I want to preserve it and pass it on to my little ones while I can.
Amen to that brother 🙏🏽 😊💙
Super Dope.
Beautiful work.
Wooaw its Perfect !
When you first started posting pictures of this build on Instagram I knew it was going to be something special and you knocked it out of the park. The details are perfect, the lines are crisp, and everything looks amazing! Also congrats on passing 50k subscribers, that's great to see. Your videos got me into gunpla modeling back in 2020 and it's been such a rewarding and fun hobby that I can't thank you enough for what you do. Looking forward to what the future brings for you, keep up the amazing work!!
Amazing! I just ordered a model and I'll embrace the challenge of being so focus on detail as you are.
At the end when you said it took you 4 months showed me I'll be in the right track. Think through every step, test, sleep and no rush.
I'll leave you with the words of Admiral McCoy "You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home"
Well said my dude 👏🏽 💙
The best video of this ship I've seen, great build videos and glad the masking kit made your art work come alive.

Thank for watching
Fantastic work! looks classic just awesome congrats ☺
Great build! Very inspiring.
You could always use 2 mm tower (or "lighthouse") LED's to get a kind of spotlight on a certain area easier than the method you were using. They have a variety of colors and you can get them in either clear or diffused. They're great for putting a light spot right where you want it.
Wow ! 😳
Such an epic project, great work!
Thank you so much dude!
Wow amazing work, both the build and video 👍👍, the refit Enterprise is the holy grail of all sci fi ships in my opinion.
amazing work, the love, energy and attention to detail really shows through in the end. What a great series! Well done! Can't wait to see what's next.
Best lighting job I have seen so far.
