  • Back after a long break from model making with a 1:1000 scale USS Reliant, just in time for the 40th anniversary of Star Trek II.
    I'm still working on a suitably impressive base for it.

    Music track - Star Trek II Soundtrack "Battle in the Mutara Nebula".

    That was really cool, The Wrath of Khan is one of my all time favorite movies and the Reliant one of my favorite ship designs

      Thanks. It's also one of my top favorite movies. I had a chance to see it on the big screen last weekend which was a real treat.

    This may be the most well done model of the Reliant of that scale I've seen. Bravo! The 1:1000s tend to have a particularly "artificial" and almost toy-like look to them from what I've seen but this looks quite good. You've really made the scale seem proper and that's not an easy thing the smaller the modle's scale becomes.

    Beautiful build. I always love to see the different ways people build & light their ships. A lot of great ideas! Oh yeah, the dreaded light leaks. Working on ships in the past I’d have nightmares about them. lol She’s one of my favorite ship designs. 🖖🏻

    • @js_models
      @js_models  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, light leaks are the probably the most annoying part of the build. Besides putty, it usually involves a lot of extra masking and black paint, which isn't ideal for white ships.

    • @GatchamanG4
      @GatchamanG4 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@js_models Yeah, light leaks can be a pain for sure. I'm like you, I use putty and or black paint to fix the problem or attempt to. Lol

    Awesome model!!! How did you do the strobes? I've been looking everywhere for strobes tiny enough to work on a starship model this size without any luck.

    • @js_models
      @js_models  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks. I use 0805 SMD LEDs for the strobes and hook them up to a strobe circuit. For more info see th-cam.com/video/s_Z3qPrW9Sg/w-d-xo.html

    Do you mask the windows so they light up later?

      The windows are drilled out and later filled with a clear glue.
