AMT USS Enterprise NCC 1701-C Build Series | Ep 14

#startrek #amtmodelkits #scalemodel
Let's build the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C in 1:1400 Scale from AMT! A What If? build from Aligning The Stars.
Its time my friends! I have engineered and created a custom lighting kit for the deflector dish on my USS Enterprise NCC 1701-C. Today, I will finish the custom lighting piece by installing it in our engineering section. First up, we need to light block the inside of the model as I hadn't originally prepared the model for lighting.

Great job Jordan, I really liked the cling wrap masking demonstration. Thanks Todd for giving the new airbrush to Jordan.

Great video Jordan

[@Aligning_The_Stars]

Thanks Trent! I am mildly surprised at how well this has turned out!

[@bruceseghers]

[@CanadianStarships]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the project.

[@Aligning_The_Stars]

Thanks Andrew! Getting towards the final stages now. This is a "what if?" build, so I have a story to tell at the end of the series that I have been working on for a couple of months. Can't wait to share with everyone!

[@DonnieDaugherty]

That deflector turned out great Jordan!

[@Aligning_The_Stars]

Thanks Donnie!!! The frosted glass spray works wonders

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

I don't know Jordan this would have been a good opportunity to mask for the windows before light blocking the interior.

[@Aligning_The_Stars]

You must have missed my announcement on this model. Gonna keep the lighting simple. Nacelles, deflector dish, impulse engines and strobes only. I'm going to do a full light on the transparent kit. Just picked that one up

@@Aligning_The_Stars Don't you mean the Translucent kit. The clear kits are getting pricey you know. BTW I am going to do both New Frontier Excalibur's. The Ambassador Class Excalibur and the Galaxy Class Excalibur-A.
