[TOS USS Enterprise 1:600 with internal lights - build log]

Hi everyone - I finished my USS Enterprise build this weekend. This has been my first model after 30 years and even though I think it turned out ok, I wish I could go back to change these things:

- Get rid of the silver shine on the larger decals. Stock Revell decal softener had no visible effect. Any tips ?

- The nacelles seem to droop to the rear slightly too much. I found no way to easily correct this.

Sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Started two days ago and am waiting for the red LEDs for the engines to arrive from the UK: https://geekjournal.ch/x-wing-fighter-with-led-engine-lights-1122-scale-part-1/

Excellent! Sounds like some amazing models coming from your bench. Feel free to post pics, I love watching work like this.

Thanks Mark - I just decided to build the small x-wing with integrated engine lights - more on that later : )

Hi Mark - I am currently still working on the Enterprise 1:600 scale model with internal lighting. https://geekjournal.ch/category/projects/uss-enterprise-tos-kit-with-internal-led-lights/

On the side I'm working on a small X-Wing model that my daughter wanted to build but never quite got around to it. Once I'm done with the Enterprise I'll have to go and find another cool Sci-Fi model that has aftermarket lighting kits.

Fantastic! What a great model! Does the red light move?

Hi Mark - no unfortunately I did not install any lights (moving or non moving) in the helmet. I was not even aware that there are special kits out there that do just that.....

Hi - I started working on the USS Enterprise 1:600 scale model from Revell a month ago and decided to document the progress online in my blog. So far I have eight entries and am just now starting with the soldering of the internal lighting. Check it out if you like.
