Finished U.S.S. Melbourne build / kitbash

[Boba Flint]

I'm not sure where to post this because this model served as prop in STNG episode "Future Imperfect" and later used as one of the destroyed ships at the battle of Wolf 359, so it could be a studio scale replica.

After years of being banished to the attic of unfinished projects, I got the itch to start working on it agin.

This is a picture of the actual model.

Can I ask what the smaller Warp Nacelles are from?

 

[Millenniumf]

They're from the 1:2500 scale three-piece Enterprise set.

You can buy the Enterprise D separately.

I will be watching this build as I will be tackling this kitbash myself.

Than you

Than you

No problem! Actually, I have a couple of spare 1:2500 Enterprise-D nacelles I could send you. They're from the Round 2 kit, but the only difference between them and the original kit from the 90's is the color of the plastic and that the socket under them has been modified internally for the snap-fit feature. No external modifications were done to the mold.

I really appreciate that, but I suck at models. They never come out well. I will leave those for another who actually has the skills not to waste them.

Thanks again.

A Small update:

 

[Boba Flint]

I couldn't help myself. Temporarily put everything together.

 

[stevielewis]

That looks great! What type of glue will you be using to hold the parts of the Rotory Commander together and to the model?

 

[Boba Flint]

Done.
Special thanks to G-Cals for custom and replacement decals.

 

[stevielewis]

Well done! I like it.

 

[Jamesfett]

That came out amazing.

 

[modelerdave]

So it looks like G-Cals can print white, correct?

Are you talking about the life boats? Those came from the 1/1400 kit decals.

[Boba Flint]
