1/350 ENTERPRISE REFIT BUILD.

[MARK M3]

I used acrylic Incandescent paint. Four colors were used on the refit(The fifth is the white Base color). They are Gold, Green, Red and blue.
I highly recommend getting the Trekmodeler paint guide to navigate which colors go where.

The masking set I used/am using is from Orbital Dry-docks . The masks are low tack, but have sufficient adhesion.

I had NO issue with the Iridescent being pulled up. The paint is surprisingly strong and resilient . I used a Hair dryer(DON'T use a heat gun!! It softens the plastic and can damage your paints!!!) after each application to hasten the drying time so I can move along(I have three of these things to build! Ugh!!).


Here are the Paints I used...

More updates coming soon! Hope this info helps!!

The electronics and lighting have been installed 100%.

Although there is much more work to do, the model is finally beginning to look right. Still need to address several areas for clean up and lighten some of the coloring...However, I am happy with the progress so far.

I also stopped by to see my friends at my local Hobby Shop to allow them to inspect and enjoy the model...

One of the best I’ve ever seen. If you consider that a rushed job, I can’t imagine what you can do with unlimited time!

 

[MARK M3]

Again, Many thanks! Still more work to do...

Since I have already posted the typical tabletop/ cluttered background pictures, now It's time to have fun!

I put my 1/350 Refit in it's element.

I did a quick video replicating the launch sequence from The Motion Picture. Nothing fancy, shot in front of a black drop cloth. Once the model is 100% complete, I plan on making another video, much more accurate.

It was fun!
