Wow. Looks great Mark. How did you get the lights on the NCC 1701 at the end of the Nacelles. An Led inside?

Thanks!
I carefully dremeled out the plastic INSIDE the model where the light would shine then placed the LED strategically alined to light the area. I do not like the other way that is parroted by everyone where they simply mask the area. to me it looks to fake...your milage may vary!

WOW.

That whole video was amazing, but specifically there were moments that looked straight out of a lost Star Trek film from the 80s. Absolutely incredible work man!

A new take on what was called the Raytheon method.

For the glow-in-the-dark AMT kit of TOS Enterprise at 1/650 scale, decals might need to be zip-a-tone/screentone—to let the glow bleed through.

Anyone ever use scotchlite paint?

To this day I have NO IDEA what a Raytheon is/was.
The method for just masking inside the model effect has actually been around for decades. It was pioneered by the Railroad modelers.

Exactly! It's insane how good his 1/350 model looks in a full-on fx shot.
