Also arrived today, photoetch for the 1/1000 scale Intrepid and Constitution classes from Green Strawberry. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ScifiModels #IntrepidClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Comparison between the Oberth and Defiant classes for @bitsmasher@pixelfed.social. These are in 1/1000 scale. The problem I have with the Oberth is the two rows of windows on the bridge dome makes it out to be a much bigger ship. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #DefiantClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Polaris powered up and ready to depart. 2/2 #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

NX-12 Polaris completed. 1/2 #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

One more decal to go! Tomorrow I should have the final clear coat done. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All ventral markings and registries have been applied to NX-12. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Dorsal Aztec/panel decals have been applied. Tomorrow I’ll start applying all the markings and then the name/registry decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All ventral Aztec decals have been applied. Tomorrow I’ll do the dorsal. I also need to create and print the name and registry decals too. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Decals have arrived for the NX refit. These have been on quite the journey. Started in the US, arrived in the UK on Saturday, went back to the US on Sunday, then came back to the UK yesterday. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Sunday is a day of no interruptions, which means I finally got the gloss coat on the NX refit. Now I really need to start coming up with a name. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

While I won’t be building the Intrepid class kit for a bit, I was too impatient to test out the new drill, so I drilled out the holes for the windows I want lit on the entire model. What would normally take me 3-4 hours, I was able to get it done in just under a hour and a half with a little bit of battery life left. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ScifiModels #IntrepidClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Yay! No more sore hands and wrists. Bought this mini drill pen after seeing it recommended on a modellers group on Facebook. First kit it’ll probably be used on is the newly arrived 1/1000 Voyager (opaque version). #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ScifiModels #IntrepidClass #USSVoyager #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #MKMModelwerx

Got the detail painting done on the NX refit yesterday. Today I’ll hopefully get a gloss coat applied to get it ready for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Saucer and nacelles have now been painted and most of the model has been assembled. There’s a couple of parts that will be glued into place when the model is finished as I don’t want them broken. Detail painting has also started. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Major paintwork completed on the NX secondary hull and glued the deflector dish and blue crystal thingy into place. Next up is detail painting (there’s not much) followed by a gloss coat to get it ready for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Milliput applied to the gaps/seams. Hopefully I’ve got them all. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Masking tape and clamps removed. Odyssey in the background checking on its progress. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Very tight fit getting the LED strip into the nacelles. I had to scrape away at some of the insides of the outboard halves to make a bit more room. Got masking tape and clamps holding the parts together. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

I glued the inboard halves of the nacelles to the pylons and soldered an LED strip to the cables leading to each nacelle. Once the glue sets, I’ll put the LEDs into place as well as a 0.5mm strand of fibre optic cable at the back of each nacelle. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Saucer lights wired up and both halves glued together with masking tape holding them in place. Tomorrow is gap/seam filling with milliput. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
