Thanks Jordan. I really enjoyed the group build the other day. I usually don't get a chance to watch live. You guys are so knowledgeable and highly skilled. This Excelsior is only my 4th kit so I'm still very wet behind the ears. I'll try to keep learning from all the great builders out there but I'm also compelled to do things differently. 🖖😊
I'm enjoying your build from start to finish... always looking for the next part. Awesome work and very happy you're showing all of the details which many builders edit out. Perfect details you're adding! Thank you and looking forward next video! From one buider to another!
Thanks. I'm getting close to the end. I have a few choices for my next one. I have another 2500 scale D. What if the galaxy class was made in 2250s? TOS Galaxy
I use tracing paper as a diffuser. Its a nice even diffusion of the light, low cost and easy to work with. I must say though that this is an improvement on the original Excelsior design.
I got to hand it to you Buddy, you're a calmer man than I, I hate to go one step forward and two steps back in a build like when the I.E. housing cracked on your Saucer, well I'll put it this way...I live in Ohio and my Daughter and Grandkids live in Georgia, I would have thrown the saucer section out the window so fast and hard my Grandkids would of seen it fly over their house lmao Anyway, I like the Deflector Dish ring idea.. real cool. The Impulse Engines look so cool, I really like those. She's really starting to take shape.
Ha ha, minor inconvenience for me. I spent around an hour trying to put those little red pieces in. I've been experiencing setbacks for my entire life. You grow to expect it and just go with the flow. I appreciate your continued support and I have some interesting plans for the next project.😊
@@Trekmods I hear ya, I learned to control my disappointments, I walk away calm down and come back with fresh eyes, rested mind and better plans and going by Boyds advice " it's just plastic and paint...most times it can be fixed, and when it can't just start fresh and learn from the mistakes " Sounds exciting for the next project I'll be watching.
Great video, those impulse engines look great, and I am enjoying the series. Just wondering if you de-tack your tape to also help lessen the chances of peeling up paint.
The paint wasn't peeling, my light grey was thinned out too much so it blead under the tape. Also my tape is from the dollar store so it sucks. Also also, I'm learning and I will try that. Good idea, thanks. Any tips are welcome 👍🖖
Another source shows it as being on the ventral side of the saucer. Two red dots just before the planetary sensor dome. This guy says it built into the leading edge. Like the NX 01 but covered, so... ua-cam.com/video/OD_r7HmY42E/v-deo.htmlsi=e8ziv4qRZSs-huh4
Rock on man! Thanks for the shoutout and for all the support! Keep up the great work on this model. Can't wait to see the finished result!

I have an idea to do a TOS era Galaxy class. I have another 2500 scale Enterprise D and I think I can convert it. Should be interesting.
@@Trekmods awesome. We were all glad you showed up. Keep up the great work, my dude. You're learning fast
@@Trekmods that sounds like a very cool idea! Keep me posted

Those details on the sides of the deflector dish, and on the Miranda class, are NOT auxiliary deflectors. They're long range sensors.
Calm down.... you're needed at the next Star Trek convention.
Nope, those are the deflectors.
The glowing bit is the sensor dish on the Refit.
After further research, I've seen the ones on Reliant labeled as docking ports or deflectors. They're definitely not docking ports.

Will those pylon be strong enough to hold the nacelles up? They look quite thin.
I hope so. The middle connecting piece is thin but once it's in place it should be sturdy enough.
