#EnterpriseRefit #StarTrek #ScaleModel #Howto #Hobby #TrekWorks In this video I show a unique way to light the photon torpedo launcher area of the model using some wide angle LED's.
I love the constant sharing of tips that help avoid disasters. p.s. Avoid using Tamiya panel accents on BanDai kits, it causes the plastic to oxidize and become exceptionally brittle.
I enjoyed this video. I’m currently working on my own build on my channel. the enterprise d die cast model from fanhome so far I’m doing ok. Soon I’ll post on my plastic model of the refit but I’m still waiting on parts and funds to buy the other parts I need to include the paint.
I was waiting to see your method in the side lights on the shuttle pod airlocks. Your method is similar to mine. Which make me feel good knowing I was on the right track.
I waited for you to continue with the new series Boyd (like many ) before doing too much with my project. Did the docking doors light effect last week. Thank you for your update.
Hi Boyd. Great to see the Enterprise back on the bench. One request though. Could you please zoom the camera in closer so we can see a bit clearer. Keep them coming dude.
Awesome! Been stuck building the 1/537 smoothy as having a broken neck limits what I can do so the kit’s been sitting there for months until I get healed but this build will be a joy to watch and keep me going.
Thanks for the update, but like the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. It would be 'better' to see the lighting in operation, even if only under temporary power.
I think it's my bench or something on it that's making that noise when I bump it. We don't have any locusts here but cicadas in the spring are a normal thing.
Excellent, Boyd, enjoyed the update, thanks very much. Does the kit supply clear parts for the windows? If not do you leave them open or make with pva?
@TrekWorks That's interesting that you don't use the kits' clear parts. It would be great if you could show us how you make the windows. Hopefully, I can use your technique on other Star Trek kits.
@@TrekWorks Me Neither Boyd I got the Kronos 1 Model for my Birthday But with the Holidays coming up it's going to be Next Year before I can even get started on Building it and getting the Paint Masking Set or the TenaControls Lighting Kit for it also the Brass PE Set.
Hey Boyd - Awesome job so far, again. Something I never noticed before during the saucer section that I did notice here. Am I correct in noticing that you DO NOT use the included clear windows sections anywhere??
Wow! Thanks for the insights! I wish you could build one for me just a little smaller. As a priest I don’t live in my own house so have limited space but sure love that refit design!!
@@TrekWorks could you build one with good lighting effects? Wouldn’t need detailed shuttle bay but would like movie navigation dish and saucer lighting
I love your channel, I have a question what is the final hull color. Every TV is different and on some it looks white and on others it looks light gray.
Awesome, loved seeing the other videos but I was definitely looking forward to more Enterprise too. Can't wait to get to that point on my two Enterprises. Keep up the great work as always!
Hi Boyd. I'll be starting to build the 1:350 scale enterprise refit, and I noticed in part 6 you used an after market part for the back side of the impulse crystal. I believe it was by hw, but I can't seem to find it to order the kit you used. One site was a spam site, and the others I've found look nothing like the type you used a few months ago when working on the saucer section. Would you be able to send me the information and or link where you found yours. Thank you, and happy modeling.
Hi again Boyd. Unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to find the fusion core part you used in the recent 1:350 enterprise refit your working on. It's the bottom pieces that go on the underside of the fusion core with the hole in the center to place a 5mm led light. Its two pieces, the one piece is opaque, and the piece that fits in it has already been defused. You mentioned in the video that you can go back, and paint the opaque part black to light block it. Any further assistance would be appreciated. Thanks again Boyd.
My favorite Enterprise of them all. Looking forward to your build of this. I had a heck of a time with this kit when it first came out. So many issues with its design. I was hoping they would retool this kit some day to make the saucer and nacelle struts connect stronger and better.
Looking forward to more tips, Boyd! Thanks for posting an update. I was wondering if it got put aside. I would know NOTHING about pushing a model aside to do other things. 😀

Excellent update Boyd and thanks for all the great information.
Hi Boyd. Great to see the Enterprise back on the bench. One request though. Could you please zoom the camera in closer so we can see a bit clearer. Keep them coming dude.
Been waiting for this for a while thanks Boyd ,curious what happened to Jerry ?
My way of thinking is if you want to Light Model it won't look right if you don't Light the Weapons because that Model is so Big .
Re. the resistors for the photorp lighting being superfluous… I guess resistance really IS futile, huh?
Awesome! Been stuck building the 1/537 smoothy as having a broken neck limits what I can do so the kit’s been sitting there for months until I get healed but this build will be a joy to watch and keep me going.
Great minds think alike! I'm doing the same thing on my docking rings as far as lighting them! Good to see you back on the Refit Boyd!
Outstanding! Thanks for the update. 👍🏻
Very much appreciated Boyd as always!
Thanks for the update, but like the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. It would be 'better' to see the lighting in operation, even if only under temporary power.
I'll show the lighting there as I get a bit further along.
Hey Boyd can you show us how to use the plastic putty again please
While I enjoy your videos in general, I got a kick out of hearing the locusts in the background of this one.
I think it's my bench or something on it that's making that noise when I bump it. We don't have any locusts here but cicadas in the spring are a normal thing.
@@TrekWorks I thought it was cicadas also! They're still singing here in Illinois.
@@paulcochran1721 I'm just south of Chicago. Their singing in one of my favorite parts of summer.
Great tips Boyd. Awesome video.
Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the update
Excellent, Boyd, enjoyed the update, thanks very much.
Does the kit supply clear parts for the windows? If not do you leave them open or make with pva?
It does come with clear windows. I make my own out of clear resin or canopy glue.
@TrekWorks That's interesting that you don't use the kits' clear parts. It would be great if you could show us how you make the windows. Hopefully, I can use your technique on other Star Trek kits.
Oh Boyd are you going to Build the New 1/350th Scale Kronos 1 Model Kit ???
Yes, but I'm not in a hurry. Maybe next year.

AMT makes a really nice 1/1000 scale Refit model that doesn't take up much room at all.

Awesome!
Hi
How much do you charge to build this 1/350 model?
Thanks

As always, a nice explanation on how you go about putting your Enterprise together with lighting Boyd.
I love your channel, I have a question what is the final hull color. Every TV is different and on some it looks white and on others it looks light gray.
Thank you Boyd! for restarting this video series. I built my first Refit following your old series and these bring back fond memories.
Thanks Boyd, a timely video. Next step in my build is the secondary hull.
Thanks for the update Boyd. I always learn something new. 👍
Awesome, loved seeing the other videos but I was definitely looking forward to more Enterprise too. Can't wait to get to that point on my two Enterprises. Keep up the great work as always!

Thank you Boyd. I've purchased from HDA Modelworx's on several occasions.

It's an aftermarket part that is available at www.hobbiwerks.com@@garysiers1014
Okay, thanks again Boyd. I appreciate your patience. Gary
Nice to see a TrekWorks Enterprise video again! Thanks for the update!
Very much appreciate the update. Much more interesting than the prepainted ready made kits.
My favorite Enterprise of them all. Looking forward to your build of this. I had a heck of a time with this kit when it first came out. So many issues with its design. I was hoping they would retool this kit some day to make the saucer and nacelle struts connect stronger and better.
Yes, a new kit would be nice. Also in the smaller scale to replace the crappy 1/537. I think that would be a big seller.
@@TrekWorks Totally agree! I'd like a smaller size one for sure. Hopefully that will happen.
Looking forward to more tips, Boyd! Thanks for posting an update. I was wondering if it got put aside. I would know NOTHING about pushing a model aside to do other things. 😀
I am just taking my time building this one. No client build, just a fun build for myself to enjoy.
Nice to see you back again Boyd
RIP Boyd.
