Right, i saw this model in nigels gallery and instantly wanted to do it for my dad for fathers day as he is a big Trekie

the kit is made my AMT Ertle and has been out of production for a long time, i managed to get one off ebay for £27 (i think) other places have them on the net for £40+

being old the plastic isnt great and some parts were warped but it didnt prove to be too much of a problem.

It took about 3 weeks to complete, it would have had been done alot quicker but having to hide all the bits when ever my dad was in and making sure he didnt come in my room when i was making it prooved to be quite a challenge!!!

thank you to Nigel for all the help and advice he gave me on this kit,

here are some (alot) of pictures....sorry i got finger happy!!

the stand was sprayed with a gold laqure (containting gold leaf) a little tip; make sure if you do want to use laqure that you put a few base primers on first and leave to cure for at least a week as the laqure will corrode the plastic!!!

comments (good or bad) questions all welcome.
