Refit of the 2270s The refitting took eighteen months of work, and essentially a new vessel was built onto the bones of the old, replacing virtually every major system. This ensured Enterprise's continued service for the next several years, enabling the ship to continue to serve in its prominent role. - Навчання та стиль
Always happy to see a Enterprise build. I'm almost done with my 1:350 Refit and thats been a journey but luckly for me so far eveything is going smoothly. I hope to see this build to the end, I don't think I seen a complete build of a 537 Refit on youtube...a lot of builders quit part way through. I wish you the best in your build and will be watching till she's done.
I have the same model you are building. Had it for years but just don't know the pro-tricks and tips to do it justice. Thanks for this video. I will be pay close attention to your work.
I will be following this build. I just started building mine.
Hi pug, which one you doing 537 or 1:350? almost done with my 1:350 with all the bells and whistles...if you're doing that hit me up if you want some tips, always happy to help a fellow builder.
I'm building the 537, I'm working up to the 350. I might try the Enterprise D 1/400 new AMT 2024 kit next. With the new plastic it might be easier doing the windows with some scraping.
I didn't think anybody did this model anymore because it's so grossly inaccurate. This will be interesting!
You've probably already thought of it, but where the nacelles join the secondary hull is a notoriously weak and poorly-engineered joint on this model. It's all but guaranteed to bend and eventually break over time. A lot of modelers insert a brass rod or tube into each nacelle strut and into the secondary hull, to strengthen and stabilize that joint.
When you clean your dremel are you using the blunt side of the exacto blade?
Sometimes when I am not looking hehehehe. I have hundreds of replacement blades so not worried about it.
