- In this video I show you the display stand I'll be using to mount the model and also
some interesting features it will have. Next, I discuss the paint I'll be using to finish the model and demonstrate how to mix and spray it on. I start off with the main deflector housing which is the first part of the model to be painted!
I swear this guy never fails to impress me he is truly A master . Can't wait for the new show .
Can't wait for her to go on her 5 year mission .
I am building a 1/350 TOS Enterprise watching all your build series’s on it and they are very helpful! Thanks Boyd and I am really enjoying this build!
Cool, enjoy the build :)
I have been hoping we’d get an update for this.
WOW! Who knew the world we’d be living in when this arrived.
Hope you and all your viewers and fans are healthy, happy and safe and sane.
That’s great. I would like to see the show come back on. It doesn’t have to be a structured show just as long as we can watch and learn. 👍
Hi Boyd. I think you've nailed the color, and nice job applying it. I can't wait to see you put it all together, my friend. Peace and stay safe.
🖖😎👍It's coming along very nicely indeed!,👌.
Love those acrylic paints! Thanks for the heads up on the colors!! Also, looking forward to the new show. Any day is good for an old retired guy like me! Never thought I would ever hear myself say that!! LOL
I know what you mean buddy ;)
Boyd you made my day seeing you back on video can't wait to see your 72 inch Enterprise.
Awesome news!! The live shows are coming back!! Thanks to you and Kenny and others for giving us a much needed fun distraction during these crazy times! Thanks man. :)
Thanks Boyd, another informative video. We've now got something to match up to during our lockdown in the UK.
Stay safe..
OMG! I had that same Peacemaker kit when i was 13! Wow, brings back memories!
How are things going with this project? Impressive kit, at an ambitious scale! Looking forward to new videos when they come...
Very nice! Look forward to the live shows! I miss them!
I appreciate the well wishes. I don’t have the patience to work with spray paints but can appreciate the attention to detail and safety measures required to do it safely and cleanly. One of my hobbies is wood working which is dusty and finished a project with French polish so I can appreciate your work from that perspective. I hope you’re stocked up on face masked and cartridges!
Great Boyd! Looking forward to the new show. A Saturday evening show would be GREAT!
Nice the color is amazing I'm a die hard trek fan I'm excited to see the old girl come together keep up the great work boyd ....u and ur family be safe 🖖
Thank you and be safe as well.
You to my friend. Stay safe. Love the model. Great work. 👍😀
Thanks Boyd. I love using these paints. I think the company’s should send you a bonus check. You’ve single handedly sold every bottle of heather gray and faded jade in existence. :)
You haven't done anything on this model in nine months, any update.
Yeah, I was looking for more episodes myself
Completely missed this last update from April 3rd, nice to get to watch it through. Amazing to see how well the water-based paint covered the piece. Nice idea of using the tripod from the utility work-lights as a base. Looking forward to seeing updates as they are made.
Looking good! I'm friggin' excited to watch this thing come together!
Good to have the show sorta back. I'm happy with just watching you while you build.....in a not creepy way. Lol
Your modeling tips are are always the best!!
Working on a 1/350 TOS enterprise now, basing it off of your videos
Brilliant work, Boyd! Surely this one is also ultimately destined for the Smithsonian!
Awesome video! I'm really looking forward to your next video on this build! Keep up the great work Boyd! 👍👍
Thanks Boyd. Great video! Can’t wait for the next one.
Great to hear the weekly hangout is returning
Excellent! I look forward to the live shows!😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
great work as always Boyd. Wishing you well.
Great to hear a live show will be back.
I grew up watching the low quality repeats of Star Trek in the early 70's. And to me the hull color looked like a light biege. So when I got my very first 1701 kit that's exactly what I did was paint it beige. (I thought it looked good too)..
It's so nice now to know exactly what the color should be if I ever build another one
Awesome video! Super excited for the new live shows. One of the things that came with my Paasche airbrush set was a fat needle and 3-4" fan tip. Can paint large areas with thick paint, but can go through it rather quick.
Perfect for the type of paint I'm using here.
I must be either weird, in a bad mood, or the rest of the world has gone mad while I stay sane, but the monotony is to the point of literally putting to sleep, and with such an awesome and exciting subject, I can’t imagine why not show more of the project and less of the builder.
Glad to hear the show is coming back Boyd I can hardly wait look forward to the next update.
Awesome to hear that you are coming back to love shows!! I won't be missing them :) I love the ideas you have for displaying that big Enterprise it is going to be really cool. Enjoyed watching the paint mixing too and totally agree a small airbrush doesn't make sense on that big gal. Cannot wait to see you live buddy!!
Thanks Kenny, it's not going to be a formal show, you're already doing a great job with yours.
Just casual bench work and chatting with the viewers along the way. I want to make sure I'm not streaming at the same time you are on your scheduled times. Have to get with you on that.
@@TrekWorks yup we will figure it out and love your idea it will be fun!!
i like the fancy diagrams. :-) BTW, I like this series. Thanks for posting.
I am serious ! I would love a complete 72 inch ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 !!!!!
Doing a great job so far Bro. can't wait to see it all come together.
I'm working on a 1:350 refit version right now. Just finished the arboretum, shuttle bay and officers lounge. Gonna start the saucer and other things tomorrow.
Nice update Boyd,it's a pity the resin Reliant project stalled,i still have my kit to build,but really would have been nice to have some photo etch to bling up the details. Stay safe buddy.
Good to see you back Boyd
Ta da. 1. Love your channel. 2. I don't mean to sound like a Prick, and I have little room to talk as I have not done near as much as you on YT with displaying My modeling talents, but I and others are wondering if you got burned out on this project, and or when you might be working on it again.
3. Also, I think there is one other modeler on YT that was building this model, and If memory serves me right who ever produced these models don't make them any longer.
4. I started an Archery company, and I sell custom Archery bows, which is slightly off the point with Star Trek, and or Modeling, however in making our custom bows, we purchased 4 3D printers and are looking at purchasing some larger ones in the near future. So the idea of making a 1/72 scale Constitution class TOS Starship is one step closer to being a possibility for me.
I have already scaled plans for all 3 ships from the show several years ago, and was surprised at the 13 foot and quarter inch length of the Constitution class was how large it would be in 1/72 scale.
The Romulan Bird of Prey (Balance or Terror, TOS) in contrast is near 3 feet long x 4 feet wide x 19 inches tall.
Yea they really made them look quite larger for the TV screen.
I do think with the world filling up with 3D printers there can be and will be some cool modeling projects coming about. both in scratch build, and model kits/parts.
Anyway, if I start building I think the Romulan first as it is the smallest and would be a good test to start with, I will make some logs. I just have to balance it in with My string tying for the bows, and the painting/assembly for the archery. That is work though and hobbies can also be work, but they should be fun as well.
Keep on a modeling, and I will be in touch.
Great channel you have going here, I will endeavor to get mine into focus as well.
Thank you and best of luck with your projects. I agree, 3 D printing opens up an unlimited amount of possibilities for scale modeling.
@@TrekWorks Thank You for the reply. LOL, I assume the people that made the Bridge for the model kit can 3D print you a 158 scale Shuttle Craft for it, if they already didn't.
If not give me a holler and I will see if I can pop one out on My chemical printer.
Honestly I am about a hairlength away from getting My business partner excited enough about the Idea of designing a 158 scale TOS Romulan BOP.
I have the plans for 1/72 as I have mentioned before, but I also have the 3D model of the ships in Blender files. So all I would need to do is run the scale measurements so we can STL close loop the parts, and then make the parts to fit into the size range to put together like a puzzle. Easy right.
The scaling wouldn't be hard. The design for the printer would be.
I don't know. If we start working on it. I will post. Peace out Boyd. Eldan at Blue Dragon Archery.
Boyd did you ever do anymore videos in this series, I can’t seem to find any. I am especially interested in how you did the orange bussard covers and the matching of the rest of the paint colors too.
Glad to see you back on the big "E" my friend!
A little at a time but it'll get there the same in the end ;) Been meaning to ask you, do you do much flying either RC or the real deal around the Beaumont TX area?
@@TrekWorks Hey man! I've been up here and there in the Cessna flying from a airport in the next county.As for RC stuff,I've got back into my planes ,choppers, and a boat.☺
Nice work on your paint
That's looking awesome. The stand does look a little tall. I would probably look at a display height of about 4.5 feet for the top of the saucer.
The height on it is adjustable so it should work out pretty good.
Nice plan! What about some sort of ball joint to ‘pose’ the model at different angles? Like on a camera tripod. You can tighten it down at various cool poses.
When you talk paint, I listen.
New show sounds cool!
Amazing !! I enjoy your videos and your builds!
Looks like this is on the back burner. Any news regarding progress? Much can be learned regarding why things stopped as well as how they proceeded. Your comments would be interesting.
Excellent content as always!
Really would like to see you do that B-36 on the shelf behind you. 🤗
Stay tuned.... :)
As always your builds and videos are outstanding.
I have a word of caution however regarding your tall stand. I have and use the stand with the lights from the home improvement store. I find that when the stand is extended as you are proposing it can be top heavy and can tip. I would be concerned that with the additional weight and height of the model that there would be a potential hazard of it getting tipped over especially if people are interacting with it. You might want to consider a way to secure the legs to a wider base with some weight or heft to balance it better.
I'll be doing some testing to see how the balance works out. No one will actually touch the model when it's on display. it will function by Remote.
Cant wait to see it done. Maybe at model fiesta
The shirt... amazing.
You could do the console in the style of the original series control panels on the bridge. To reduce glare, the screen could be recessed an inch or two. That would allow you to make a cover in the style of the old buttons for de-powered static mode.
Yes, I plan on the base having a definite TOS theme to it. It's as much fun designing it as it is building the model.
@@TrekWorks Sounds great. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I don't care how they try to change her. Nothing beats the original USS Enterprise NCC-1701
I'm not seeing any videos on this build after this one. Did it get finished?
Is there a new video on this model ....I can't seem to find one if there is ?
This video was almost 2 years ago. Any further updates on this build?
Over a year with no updates. Come on Boyd; your fans are wondering... :)
What became of the 72 inch Enterprise? Last video on it that I could find he was spray painting around the base of the dish anrltenna at the front of the secondary hull, but I think that video was a year ago?
Do a review on that B 36 Peacemaker behind you. I have that kit and it is wonderfully big
Do you know where the guy bought a 72 inch version from? Any idea on cost? I'm a bit worried about the tripod stand and it falling/tipping over. I guess you can always throw some sandbags on the legs of the tripod. Thanks for answering the questions if you see them and know the answer :P
Thank you for sharing that color mix .I will use it on my DDC colonial Viper MKII . I still have to find 1/17 scale decals . Any Ideas on where to look ?
Looks good!
Boyd: Will there be more of these videos on your progress with the 72 inch Starship Enterprise NCC-1701? I'm dying to see your progress. (Also, can you mention where you were able to buy the 72 inch model kit). I've not been able to find one anywhere. Blessings. John
Did this series ever get finished?
Hey Boyd luv the channel and all the helpful tips, thanks! Just curious though and sorry if I missed it in another video, but why did you switch paints? What happened to the the auto paint you use to use and mix up? Do you still use it? Is it a matter of what type of material you are working with? Maybe another video on the subject? Take care and thanks.
Boyd, why not use a pole lamp base. AC power goes right up the tube and plenty of stability.
Any more progress on this beauty?
Heey whatever happened with this build? Ive loved the 10 part 1/350 build.. was hoping to see more of the 6 ft build
Ever finish this?
I’m hoping to build my first model and have chosen the 1/350 TOS model. Would using the smaller airbrush you showed in the video be an okay substitute as long as I distance it enough to prevent running?
Its better that the deflector dish is shinny even overly
Did you ever finish this project? I don’t see an update and it’s been over 2 years.
Looking for an update on this project. Is it on hold? Did you finish it?
What the neck happened to this model where's the rest of the build???
What’s the latest?
Any update on this?
Hey Boyd. Whatever happened to this and the Viper you were building?
WOW!!!!
I need to get premium decals for my Dynamic Digital Creations 1/17 scale BSG colonial Viper MKII . I haven't been able to find any .
Hey new to the channel! Model maker here on DFW. Is this kid available anymore?
Nice.
WHERE IS PART 4 AND 5 etc
Very informative video. You have had a bunch going on but 6 feet? WOW! How heavy is it?
It's carbon fiber, a lot lighter than plastic or fiberglass. Should only be in the 20-30 lb range. Pretty good considering the 8 foot Refit model weighed north of 300 lbs not counting the massive pedestal it's mounted on.
Amazing. You said you're in the process of doing 2 TOS 350 Enterprise builds. Are you still doing Commissions for them? I've tried emailing several times with no answer.
With such a big model, why aren't you using lacquer? wouldn't it be easier to get the color and be a smother paint job?
Lacquer is pretty outdated these days. Acrylics are much better being less resistant to scratches and
cracking and fading over time. Also the water based acrylics are completely non toxic.
Any update on this build?
Why 72" rather than basing it in a common scale?
Say Boyd, what happened with this 72 inch Star Trek model. It’s been two years and no updates. Wishing for more. Permanently shelved?
Just put out a new video a few weeks ago. I've resumed the build and the updates will continue.
@@TrekWorks Hey Boyd, I don’t know how I missed it. Thanks for advising and that is great news. Gonna watch it right now.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What did you use for full coat? Stay safe!
hay love watching the vids. i'm gona be starting a 1/350 titanic model, any advise on prep the plastic for paint? don't really wana sand the detail off the hull. any other tips would be appreciated as well
You can scuff the plastic for painting with steel wool or a scotchbrite pad and it won't remove any detail.
@@TrekWorks awesome i"ll do that thanks! also, what would you recomed for paint? enamel, acrylic or lacquer? last time i built a model i was a little kid lol.
@@502ae502 Definitely acrylics.
cool.
I dig your avatar!
I see you got your b-36!
You noticed ;) Yes, and I'm itching to have at it! Hope your safe and doing well up there buddy.
@@TrekWorks Life in lockdown.
What are the numbers for the paint? Looking online I can find FolkArt but not Heather Gray. Same goes for Anita's...
I order my paints from Hobby Lobby online. They list every color they have there. Many are less than a dollar a bottle. The Anitas Heather Gray is number 308067 and the Folk Art Faded Jade is 4667
@@TrekWorks I had the manufacturers backwards. :) As long as I have your ear, I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. You have really helped me to up my game when it comes to modeling...
@@kdryan21 Glad to hear it, always makes doing the videos worthwhile.
