Tremendously clean and warp-free (no pun) build so far!


Do you think you'll get Ron's permission to post when complete?

Would love to take that to a Saladin class destroyer.

All righty, then! Here's the current progress on a slightly tweaked
and recolored version of Ron's TOS Enterprise. Other than the color,
which is a muted version of what was supposedly on the original
11-foot shooting model, tweks have been minor, mainly just to make
things fit a bit differently. In this build, though, I've printed a
second set of parts sheets (actually I'm using an intermediate set
that didn't print properly!) and am cutting up the primary hull parts
from that set to use as glue tab strips to get rid of the "step"
between parts. I'm also leaving off a lot of tabs on the smaller parts
end just edge-gluing them.

By leaving all the tabs also off the three internal support rings, I
was able to get the primary hull together much more nicely than my
previous attempt where I was fighting the resistance of all those
tabs. :-)

More to come; since I took these three shots, I've installed the
'tweenhulls pylon, and it was *much* easier this time.

Of course none of that prevented me from making all-new errors, but
what can you do, eh? <G>

Ron has already given approval to share my recolor (actually a
complete redraw in all-vector art), which I will do as soon as I'm
convinced I haven't made any more mistakes with it.
