New starship work in progress.

For a long time I have been a fan of the Corvette design from the game Independence War (I-War) box art. I finally decided to do a ship inspired by that design.

Enjoy.

Second round of masking done and third light grey applied to the secondary hull and nacelle. I’ll do the final round of masking and final light grey tomorrow. # StarTrek

First round of masking and second colour done on the secondary hull and nacelle. I covered the saucer as I’ll be using a different method to paint that once I’m done with these parts. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSKelvin #Kelvin #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Nacelles and impulse engines painted a lighter grey and masks removed. Will leave for another few days before I mask off those areas.

While I wait for the decals to set on the Delta Flyer, back to the G I go. Masked off the dark grey areas on the nacelles and impulse engines so I can paint a lighter grey.

All the ventral markings, name and registry decals have been applied to NCC-1794. Now for the dorsal decals.

All ventral Aztec decals have now been applied. Will leave them overnight before moving on to the dorsal decals. Really need to start thinking about a name and registry for it.

Glossed up, ready to be dolled up. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ConstitutionClass #KelvinTimeline #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Turned out okay, not great but not bad either. Maybe Revell could consider make this a clear part, it would solve the problem. Anyway, next up is a gloss coat to prepare for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ConstitutionClass #KelvinTimeline #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Applied PVA Glue to these areas behind the bridge. Once they’ve set, I’ll paint them transparent blue/green.

First light blocking coat of black has been applied. Before I do more, I’ll need to go over some more areas with to get the bits I missed (I really need to start wearing my glasses).

Clamps and masking tape removed from the nacelles. Next up is gap/seam filling with .

I’ve painted the inside of each part black followed by silver to help light bounce around and marked out the areas where I will be putting LEDs. I will begin wiring up the saucer section first.

Had to modify the saucer edge and the aft end of each nacelle to allow fibre optic cable to go in the correct place and drilled all the holes for the nav’s and strobes. #StarTrek #USSEnterprise #Enterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Couple of new arrivals today that I’m excited about. The Light kit and photoetch for the 1/350 Kronos One model (which is still to arrive) and the Neo Constitution class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G. Once I’m over Covid, I’ll be able to get started.

Enterprise G model parts laid out on top of a cutting mat.

Remaining Aztec decals have now been applied. I’ll leave it for the rest of the day (and probably overnight) for them all to set properly before applying all the markings and name/registry decals.

Todays work. Applying more decals to the class model.

@mkm_modelwerx@pixelfed.social avatar

Gloss coat applied to the class, ready for decals. Now I’m just waiting for decal paper to arrive so I can print them (hopefully tomorrow), this will give me time to create the name and registry decals.

#SpaceX's market isn't the average city-dweller. It's the people in the rest of the world who, thanks to mobile phones, don't have anyone laying any cable nearby and are not likely to. Now, if I had a 200 tonne payload on #Starship V3 and a history of beaming stuff via #Starlink, know what I'd beam? Space-based solar power. Low altitude SPS from multiple interconnected satellites eliminates the need for geostationary gigastations. A small 1MW LEO one might weigh, oh, I dunno, about 200 tonnes...

spacex talk, poorly summarised

  • superheavy to attempt a landing at a virtual tower in IFT-4
  • hoping to successfully catch a superheavy before the end of the year
  • ship landings will be next year because the flight path would cross population areas
  • complete second launch tower @ starbase (R&D) and build a further 2 @ cape (flight)
  • produce 6 fullstacks this year and increase starfactory production
  • in-orbit refeulling demo next year

  • raptor 3 targeting 280t of thrust (sea level) & 305t (vacuum optimised), no heatshield & integrated cooling
  • starship 2, marginally taller to make room for more propellant & thrust and seemingly altered front-fin geometry
  • starship 3, an added 30m taller, drastically increasing propellant & thrust. ship gains 3 rVac engines.
    (NOTE: starship 1 is pictured without a hot-staging ring)
  • musk estimates USD$2-3M per-flight
  • vague mention of off-shore launch towers

#Moon 🌙 scouts will all be #robotic, designed to build a foundation for #astronauts 👨‍🚀 to follow about two years later. There is need for transporting 🚀 large masses of equipment and materials from #Earth.
