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. #StarTrek #Enterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #KronosOne #Klingon #Battlecruiser #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

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. #StarTrek #ExcelsiorClass #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Todays work. Applying more decals to the #Excelsior class model. #StarTrek #ExcelsiorClass #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Gloss coat applied to the #Excelsior 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. #StarTrek #ExcelsiorClass #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

#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

USS Arcadia is finished, I’ll get some proper pictures taken in the next day or two. The #Ambassador class has all its decals in place now and is not far behind. #StarTrek #GalaxyClass #Federation #Starship #Arcadia #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Marking and escape pod decals have been applied to the ventral side. I’ve finally decided on a name, so while I wait for these to set, I need to create the name & registry decals and then print them. #StarTrek #AmbassadorClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Gloss coat applied to the still unnamed #Ambassador model. I’ve got the registry, but locking down a name is proving difficult. Luckily I have a lot of decals to apply before getting to the name so I’ve still got time. #StarTrek #AmbassadorClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Detail painting done on the #Ambassador model. Next up is cutting and scraping windows out followed by filling the “off” windows using a black gel pen. #StarTrek #AmbassadorClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Shuttlebay doors painted light grey
Centre of the deflector dish painted copper and the spokes painted white

Next round of masking done. Time to paint! #StarTrek #AmbassadorClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Masks were applied and the second (light blue) has been applied to the #Ambassador model. The masks need to remain in place until I’ve masked off more areas and painted it the final (light grey) colour. #StarTrek #AmbassadorClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Bottom of the secondary hull.

I had to go over all the off windows with a gel pen because some of them had light leaks. I’ve also ran out of clear Matt varnish, so while I wait for that to arrive, I’ll get back to working on the #Ambassador model. #StarTrek #GalaxyClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All ventral decals have now been applied to NCC-81427. Now I’ll leave them overnight to set. #StarTrek #GalaxyClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

Cleanup done and a gloss coat applied. I’ll leave it for a few hours to let the paint dry properly. In the meantime I’ve got hundreds of decals to cut out. #StarTrek #GalaxyClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

mkm_modelwerx, 2 months ago to StarTrek

I’ve decided on a name, but I’ve blanked it out because anyone who followed my Instagram account (when I had one) knows I’m a tease 😆. I also recreated the escape pods (they are all individually numbered) and printed them onto white decal paper. #StarTrek #GalaxyClass #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Reworked escape pod decals
