Brought me to tears! Beautiful. Brought back my hopes and dreams as a young child thinking of what Star Trek represented and thought possible. I'm so sad we won't make it in my lifetime.
After 45 years building models, I thought I was accomplished. But I can’t even begin to hold a candle to your beautiful work. I’m 60, and when I was a boy dad and I would watch TOS, and have “TV dinners”. He passed a few years ago, but he would have been blown away by your Enterprise. At the finish, she was stunning, and I almost cried. Thank you for inviting us in to watch your work take shape. I can only say, brilliant, simply brilliant!
Never get tired of seeing people build this model…. Boyd really set the bar for the Aztec details for this model … talking directly to Paul Olsen who was the original painter for the aztec details on the motion picture enterprise.! Great Job sir!!! Great 👍🏾 Job!!!!
That model is really Next Level. Well done. I love the music, especially the Overture . TMP was always my favorite of all of them. Another thumbs up for you.
My god...I'm a 43 year old man, weeping with joy. What a thing of beauty. I cannot imagine the sheer will, determination, and patience required for such a project. I've watched Star Trek in every form and iteration we've been presented with over the years, and the Constitution Class refit will always remain my favorite. It's both a beautiful and functional design, from stem to stern. Fabulous work by both the model maker and the model assembler!
When I watched Star Trek the Motion Picture and saw the Enterprise in the dry dock, the scale of this ship overwhelmed me and you can only imagine what engineering was required to design, propel, and refit such a massive ship. I had the same emotions watching this build video. Virtually shaking your hand.
Holy cow, that must have been some heavy duty job, I don't think I would have the nerve nor the patience to build the whole Enterprise, but very good job done, 👏, well done. 😉👏 Now we all just need to move in, new home. 😉 Ha ha.
As much as I loved Jerry Goldsmith's score to the Motion Picture, I can't help but to drown it out and replace it with James Horner's score to Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn. I'm so jealous...I want this model so bad. Great video!👍
I've watched this 4 times. Incredible. I built an Enterprise A back in the late 90's. Not even close to this but it was really good. Got destroyed in a move. Now I'm gonna do another one.
Mr.John as a fellow model master, and devoted Star Trek fan! I must say, not many folks can appreciate the painstaking time, effort, and overall frustration that goes into such a great feat!!! I have been professionally building WW2 and NASA models since 1993! You have demonstrated excellent skill and passion in you're craft! Beautiful work sir! You have inspired me to take on the Enterprise as my next project.. Well done!!
Fantastic. Well done on exceptional model building and a great job recording the process including the occasional setback. This brings back many memories for me as a young man back in 1982-83, when I made what I think was the 22 inch model of the refitted Enterprise. Whilst your dedication to the build process is quite frankly phenomenal, I was left somewhat disappointed with the showcase (or to use the correct language, 'the reveal'). Unfortunately from 1982 I don't have any photographic records of my model, but I did play around with some lighting effects after finishing the model in my bedroom. I used my 4.5" refracting telescope counter weight rod to support the model on the telescope tripod, built a star wall with matt black painted cardboard over the window, punched a pin hole star pattern in the cardboard and cut small pieces of fibre optics over the window so that during the day I simply used a torch shining on the model. By masking the stand from the torch light, I could sit back and the ship really looked like it was completely suspended in space. It was an incredible vision. I get goose bumps just writing this. I only wish I had a modern day iPhone to record it as alas, after 40 years the model is no longer with me.
I always think "why people do this? “.... my answer is always, BECAUSE WE ARE DREAMERS!.... this and 29 more models are waiting for me. NICE JOB, REALLY INSPIRING!... a big hug from Chile...
Absolutely GORGEOUS! That aztecing is so AWESOME!!! Way too much work for me to put in. Wish I had the time and talent you have! I love the music from the movie too. I sit here admiring your work. I'd be so proud if I were you! I'm blown away. Thank you for sharing the magnificent finished product as well as the obstacles you conquered.
The amount of time and effort you must have put into this boggles the mind. That is probably studio grade work (if studios bothered actually making filming models these days.) Great work
The opening theme brought back memories. I remember sitting in the theater and that theme playing before the lights fully faded and the movie began. I was about 12 then. I am at that age now that a sight, sound, or smell will take me to another century. Thank you.
Having built more than a few 1701s as a boy I can say that just getting the engines, saucer and secondary haul “just right” is an achievement I could never get quite right. This kind of work leaves me in quiet awe.
As a small boy, I was absolutely in love w/the Enterprise. I used to put pen drawings of her on the fronts of my school note book binders. And then in 1979, or was it 80? ... The first movie came out. And I was absolutely flabbergasted to see the new, refit ship. I was simply in awe. And to this very day, it's my all time favorite version of the beautiful lady we all call, The USS ENTERPRISE 1701.
Your incredible work on even the smallest of details is one of a kind workmanship. Your setbacks were hartbreaking and yet you persevered. And what a masterpiece you created. Thank you for sharing.
Mine took less than 1 minute. I used the medium replicator in engineering. Seriously though, an absolutely fantastic build, and the documentation is wonderful. Everyone can see this was a true labor of love, from the moment you opened the box, until the final UA-cam upload. Thank you for sharing with us.
Very fortunate to have friends in the community. She was always the star of the franchise and you've done her proud. Because of Boyd I got back into modeling. There's probably many of us that can say that
The Enterprise refit is the ship i grew up with. Every time I see one of these videos, I so much want to build one... I dont think could never do it well enough without gaining a lot more experience.
My Dad was a Civil engineer. He got me a drafting board and the 1st thing I attempted with his tools was a well designed Enterprise. I thought he’d laugh when he saw what I’d been working on. He didn’t. He was impressed that I’d designed it “not like a model but as a functional ship. Oh - if he could have seen what you’ve DONE. I’ve never seen such eye for detail, patience, vision and design. Artiste’ Extraordinaire! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That was a very nice build log. I saw this kit a few months back. And I decided to start modelling. I just needed to learn. Now I have a small "work shop" with airbrush and tools. And finished a lighted Klingon D7. Training to learn weathering and panel lining on that. Finished a non lighted Tie Interceptor, but panel lining was not great with the glossy clear "future" so called equivalent. I am trying to complete a 1/537 AMT refit Enterprise. But my god, is that a piece of mis aligned styrene pretending to be a star ship. I am however getting better at using different kinds of putty. So far I have tried Perfect Putty and MR. Surfacer 500 today I am going to sand down the MR 500 - Wish me luck I hope it performs well because I like it a lot. One day I will feel accomplished enough to give this one a go. I can't wait, it is the only model I am truly looking forward to having on display.... Fantastic model. But I have a lot of learning ahead of me....
Just loved watching this. I'm just getting my supplies together to tackle my 1/350 Refit. I bought it in 2010 and just never got around to building it and finally am retired (32 years being part of building REAL spacecraft propulsion systems) and have the time and inclination to do it. I learn from all the videos on UA-cam and yours was one of the best "real world" videos I've seen - What a beautiful work of art you created ;>)
I'v watched this video probably 20 times , and it's always exciting and fun.. I'm amazed at the work and time that went into this build and how close it came a few times to being all for nothing.. But with the drive and determination you had for this project , everything came out incredible... This is definitely a ( SHOW PIECE ) .. Great job ..🙏
What a fantastic build you just did United Federation Of Modellers. You certainly make this look easy when I can only imagine the amount of patience and determination you had to have in order to have such a successful build as you have in this Enterprise Refit model. Way to go and thanks for sharing and inspiring all of us.
WOW; you have got some major patience and this lil thing called..."DEDICATION TO DETAIL/METICULOUSNESS!" Nice very nice! And it really helps to have good friends to hook you up!🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
An exceptional refit done on an exceptional ship. It took a bit of patience to watch this video, but I'm certain not as much as it did for UFM and friends to do the refit. This is "love"!
I just have to say John what you did was nothing short of astounding,I mean to spend all that time and hard work to truly make a work of art has left me speechless,I recently just bought the same model and hope to be a 10th of as good as yours.If you ever show this off to anyone I am sure they are gonna be jealous as hell of your work.I gotta also say it is very rare for someone to earn my respect but you my friend have.And as Captain James T. Kirk said in the Movie "Lets see whats out there".I am still awestruck by your genius.
Thankyou! I have the model tucked away from our grandchildren who are, very enthusiastic about getting close *Gulp :) It is great to turn it on every now and again and enjoy her beauty!
Congratulations on a truly spectacular build. If you've only been at it for 3 years then you are indeed an artist extraordinaire. Ive been struggling with this same build for months and just can't see much progress...This is one of the finest builds I've ever seen..really..and truly.....congrats again. Stay building my friend, use the gift you possess.!
An absolutely fabulous job! Your attention to detail is simply awesome. I bet your heart stopped when you saw those clamp marks. Oh my gosh, I’m so glad you Were able to deal with that in a positive way. Again, fabulous job!
Can I just say major props for actually taking the time to level the sections on the kit to be accurate? Ive seen so many models of this kit where its lopsided and it always infuriates me to no end. Great work man!
I am in the process of building mine at the moment. This is a great help and inspiration to finish mine. Hope it will be as good. First time building anything like this.
Fantastic! Phenomenal work and persistence! I think this is the most beautiful rendition I have seen yet. Your attention to the Aztec paint job is far better than those Aztec decals.
Impressive build. Your attention to detail and commitment to getting it right are commendable. I have seen many builds where the nacelles are neither level nor positioned correctly above the saucer. You got that right as well. Also nice images to display your work. Great job!
The most incredible model I have ever seen. To say stunning is an understatement... goodness. The sheer patience, skill and dedication to create this is breath-taking. Thank you for sharing... you are incredible
I love the old 1701 from the 60's, but really..this version is in a class all in its own. 40 years later, and it STILL looks as badass and believable as ever.
Hello John. I am impressed by so much accuracy. Your model is simply amazing! You can be proud of your work. I live in France and have a chance to possess this model from POLAR LIGHT acquired on EBay (because untraceable at our home) from now on 5 years and he always rests in his box:-/. The reason is that I imagined practically all the disappointments which you met and it slowed down me in my project. The work which you realized restores me the courage to put me finally in the task and your video was a real happiness to look. Thank you
First off- gorgeous work! I've got one old these kits in my backlog, but I need more practice at painting before I feel like I can sit down and do it justice, but this is definitely inspiring! Second off- Man, the Jerry Goldsmith score to that first film just gives me chills.
Brought me to tears! Beautiful. Brought back my hopes and dreams as a young child thinking of what Star Trek represented and thought possible. I'm so sad we won't make it in my lifetime.
After 45 years building models, I thought I was accomplished.
But I can’t even begin to hold a candle to your beautiful work.
I’m 60, and when I was a boy dad and I would watch TOS, and have “TV dinners”.
He passed a few years ago, but he would have been blown away by your Enterprise. At the finish, she was stunning, and I almost cried.
Thank you for inviting us in to watch your work take shape.
I can only say, brilliant, simply brilliant!
Never get tired of seeing people build this model…. Boyd really set the bar for the Aztec details for this model … talking directly to Paul Olsen who was the original painter for the aztec details on the motion picture enterprise.! Great Job sir!!! Great 👍🏾 Job!!!!
that looks BEAUTIFUL.......you did a great job on this Enterprise
Jezus Christ, It Indeed belongs to a museum. It is so nice. There are only a hand full of people who can do this.
Thank you. :)
Those Aztecs XD. This is the absolute best version of the Enterprise. Hands down.
That model is really Next Level. Well done. I love the music, especially the Overture . TMP was always my favorite of all of them. Another thumbs up for you.

Wow....just....Wow
That Aztec paint finish.....that shuttlebay........those bastard clamps!!!!! Absolutelty amazing model
Haha, yes those clamps! thank you 😀

Nothing beats Jerry.
Are they hard to find? (Or is it a space issue?)
I am blown away by how realistic she looks. Amazing work sir.
I really don't understand the dislikes. Your work is incredible amazing!!!!! Live long and prosper!
many thanks for watching! best of luck, LLAP

Very best of luck and enjoy the process.
The music and the model.. Tears to the eyes.. The best of humankind finally stopping their dum wars and travelling the stars!!
This is the finest example of a 350 scale refit I have seen on the web. Magnificent work.
My favorite version of the Enterprise. Isn't the sound track to TOS movies the best. I can listen to it all day long.
I hear ya....I have the extended versions of TMP, TWOK, and TSFS soundtracks on CD
Love those strings in the theme music ❤
@@antonioowensby8823 REALLY? And how can I get Copies of these Soundtracks if I might ask?

So beautiful!

Thankyou very much!!
This has got to be my favorite build video of this beautiful ship. Love your color pallet, the video log style, the music etc. Top job!

Exquisitely done
Seeing your completed ship was like Scotty giving me a shuttle tour!!! Absolutely amazing sir.
Just starting with modelling....but this is absulutely fantastic! I almost started to cry by the brilliance of your build!
Im blown away I don't even know what to say. My heart sank at the clamp marks. Way to stick it out and build a beautiful model. Thanks for sharing.
Now that is a great looking Enterprise, very professional indeed. Tremendous work my friend.
Thank you!

Without a doubt, one of the best I've seen. And your Aztec work is stunning. Well done, I'm seriously jealous.
Dougall McTavish Thankyou LOL. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Yeah, me too! I've built Enterprise several times and have never come even close to this masterpiece.
Can I just say major props for actually taking the time to level the sections on the kit to be accurate? Ive seen so many models of this kit where its lopsided and it always infuriates me to no end. Great work man!
Incredible video- so much work put in! Really amazing job!

Well done, She looks amazing !
Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
man I wish I had the talent/skill to build something like that, epic job
Nicely done!!
I want this kit, but the paint job intimidates the hell out of me.
Yes the aztec work is quite intimidating. I can say, after masking paint repeat, the process can become more relaxed after some practice. Good luck.
Nice job! Excellent
Thanks
Fantastic
Beautifully done!!!
Thank you! :)
Fantastic! Phenomenal work and persistence! I think this is the most beautiful rendition I have seen yet. Your attention to the Aztec paint job is far better than those Aztec decals.
