The main start up board.
And the shuttle bay running lights.

The circuits come like this.
And I know I trust my soldering as both my enterprise and voyager is built in the same way.

I do have a full instructions luckily full colour witch helps.

do you get a guide on where to fit whats what

Looking at the photos, there is a full-colour printed guide supplied with the parts. As long as you can read the numbers on the chips, the colours on the resistors, etc., you should be able to get them in the right places, I hope

Thanks Chris luckily if I do mess up the guy that does these kits is so helpful I can easily get replacements.

Nice electronics so far…..a many levelled kit is this!

 

[adt70hk]

Good luck Peter. You've got off to a good start!

 

[peterairfix]

I have now finished installing the shuttle bay running lights and I have tested them and a short video

 

[peterairfix]

Just ordered a set of these.

 

[boatman]

WELL Peter vid wont play so i take your word for it an lookin good

Nice work Peter, I can see the video, works very nicely.

The last of the circuit boards has been made up and tested.
And the main saucer section has been sprayed.

 

[boatman]

Peter are you not goin paint the insides matt black to stop light leaks as i got some on mine when tryin to glue the saucer togeather so had to rub off some of the black before it would glue togeather ? an did you spray it in tamyia pearlence white as this paint give all the colours an looks like the dureaium metal that the ship was built from ?

I will paint the insides black and then silver I couldn't get tamiya pearl down here but I found some car paint it's Nissan pearl white it doesn't look to bad.
A close up view.

 

[boatman]

YES looks good pity you could not get that tamyia pearlesence thought as it gives the hull a sort of futeristic look

[Neil Merryweather]

An excellent way of stopping light leakage is to use heating engineers foil self adhesive tape
