It needs to be resoldered I am hoping I can gently take the nacelle apart and the wiring issue I will have more in the post Monday

Very late to this Pete, following a good read through I can honestly say that this in mind blowing .
Hope you get that last wire soldered ok .

Great progress Peter.
Don’t be discouraged by the setbacks, it’s amazing what can be pulled back from the edge of disaster. I recently made a mistake on the very last top, flat coat on one of my Fokker Dr.1s and had no choice but to strip all the paint back to bare plastic whilst still trying to save the interior. I managed it, repainted it, decalled it again and it’s as good as new. I find that modelling is very rarely a straight line start to finish, setbacks for whatever reason come with the territory and we learn from them. You also feel a real sense of achievement from having avoided catastrophe.

This model will be truly epic when built, I‘m really looking forward to it. I have every faith you’ll sort the solder issue.
I’ve all my fingers crossed for you..
Cheers
Paul

I have attached the errant wire all I have to do is put everything back together.
I managed to remove the blue clear section and resolder.

Hi Pete, kept meaning to catch up on this build, You haven't disappointed mate, cracking work so far. the refit Enterprise is, for me, the most beautiful craftered model in Sci-Fi and you are certainly doing her justice mate.

 

[peterairfix]

I forgot to put this in.

 

[boatman]

GLAD you sorted it Peter but on my enterprise them blue engine sections are fitted in from the inside of the nacele so did you refix it ?
chrisb

 

[Jakko]

Good to see you managed to fix it without having to tear too much of the nacelle apart

 

[peterairfix]

chrisb

I managed to fix it by taking off the pylon and using a old pair of tweezers bent to hold it in place from the inside

 

[tr1ckey66]

Great news Peter Phew! You can now move forward.
As Jean Luc would say,‘Engage!’…

 

[eddiesolo]

Glad you managed to effect a repair mate.

Just had my extra wire delivered as these kits never seem to have enough.
And I painted my arboretum.

I have found some little figures it's marked 1/200 on the label but I have pictured one it doesn't look to far off.

 

[boatman]

well done Peter nothing like havin a crew on board as it brings the model to life

[peterairfix]

I have the crew in the arboretum they were a little tall so I had to cut the feet off
And I am now almost ready to start assembling the secondary Hull.
And two finished pylons
