AMT Star trek The Enterprise Incident (fiber optic)

[peterairfix]

Time to a departure from my normal builds.


This kit has three ships one enterprise and two romulon the fiber optics will be replaced with newer  slightly better stuff and also the lights will be replaced with LEDs.


The first thing I have done isinstalled the light and fiber optics in the enterprises saucer section ready for closing up and painting

Here's some more pics before its all closed up and one when it's together

I had this kit Peter, beware of the solder pints they broke on mine when closing up. Nice work so far mate.

Looking forward to seeing this completed. Hope the lights work out as planned.

Interesting topic there Pete, goodluck mate. 

[peterairfix]

Got a bit more done the enterprise is all together and the soldered joints have held the black paint on the saucer is to stop light bleeding and will be over coated in white

[eddiesolo]

Looking good Peter, I forgot to blank mine off so light was visible through the model

It's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see more.

At last I have the enterprise finished and all lights working this will not be the final position just for display.
Next up will be those pesky Klingons and the ships are a bit harder to do[ATTACH]278053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]278054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]278055[/ATTACH]

Do them with the cloaking device activated!

Now that would be just cheating.
I have just realised that their not Klingons they are romulans
