Luckily I solved the issue, but that would be cool

So uhh, found out what the issue was. But before that, no I did not test anything before I put the lights onto each part, I like to live on the edge. I didn’t glue parts together but it turns out the issue was not with the wiring. For whatever reason, the 12v power was coming out of the black...

Update: everything is repainted and decals are on. Everything is weird up but when I plug it in, only the engine motor spins, all lights do not light up. I have double checked and everything is plugged in correctly including the leds. Any advice or ideas as to why this is?

I am in the US. I checked the lows website and they don’t carry it online. I will try to go to one next week. If that falls through, I found I custom paint matching service that can match the color of it. any one know if Gary Kurr would be willing to sell a paint chip of the production hull color?

Another update: almost everything is all painted on the 1/350 scale model. On a related note, I think I messed up when I was mixing my paint for the production hull gray. I tried to recreate it with the recipe I have (12 parts white, 2 parts lemon yellow, 2 parts ultramarine blue, and one part...

Today is the day that I’ve decided to start the 1/350 model. A few questions before I start: 1.) what order should I light, glue, sand, and paint the sub assemblies in? I was thinking nacelles and bridge then saucer then neck and then secondary hull. 2.) what glue should I use to glue the...

I am thankful I took that advice! : )

Update: decided not to invest in an air brush, money is tight and the last thing I need is another skill to learn in order to complete this. I remember why I hate the 1/1000 scale model so much, with the amount of sanding and cutting I had to do, I hope the 1/350 will be better because I will...

Update: painting the 1:1000 model, anyone recommend an affordable air brush? The brush strokes are visible in the paint, know that this is a sign that I need to thin it more, and I think that an airbrush would give me an even coat of paint.

Question about mixing acrylic paints by parts. I used an online tool to convert the hex colors of the colors I need for the enterprise into recipes that list how much of each color I should mix to get the correct color (1 part blue 1part yellow etc), my question is how should I measure/pour the...

Did you paint over the primer color, or is that hull gray just the primer?

I’m just fine with all of the questions, just wanted to give more clarity to my position. I bought Krylon base coat, this was back in October I think. As for paints, I have a mix of Windsor and Newton and Grumbacher brand paints. Feel free to ask more questions if it can help you answer my...

please ignore the incomplete sentence, I was going to ask about painting the bridge, but decided that I can ask that when I am ready to paint it

I should note a few things, I already have the masking kit from orbital dry dock, I was just wondering how good the decals look vs painting them and if the effort of painting them on is worth it, I will come back to that once I get to that step. I do not have an airbrush and I am not using...

Thank you all for the advice about painting, building, and making a smaller model first. I will take your advice to heart. I was not planning on using putty and sanding, but I am potentially reconsidering because of how much I have invested in this. With respect to making a 1/1000 model, which...

I am about to begin working on the 1/350 TOS enterprise from polar lights and have a few questions regarding the process and mounting it. first things first, I should note that I have no experience with making or painting models so any advice would be appreciated. The first question is about the...

alright, a little update: Update 1: Paint I found a website to convert LAB colors to hex you can find it here, I then found a website where you can input the hex color you want to make and it will spit out 3 different paint mixtures with names of paints and ratios, percentages, or parts of each...

I will post any updates here. you can find my previous thread here. some general background: I play on and help run my highschool's Minecraft server, I mainly build things. I had just completed a large project that had been entertaining me for months, so I needed to find a new project. After...

after some consideration, I have decided to make a new thread that is dedicated to my project, this thread has served its purpose of getting the attention of shaw and getting those initial questions answered. in the new thread, I will post updates/ questions/ any info I find. thanks for all of...

Thanks for the reply. I have read everything on your site which I found through some star trek wiki, all of the work you have done is really impressive, I knew that you built two 2/3 scale models before you made your 33inch replica, so I just wanted to make sure that it was the 33-inch model. As...
