Thanks William, yup I have the light kit for it too. I started working with it this eve, but needed to fix something so I have to wait till tomorrow to let everything dry. I posted a quick video showing how the paneling looks from different angles. It’s at the bottom of page 242...hence my comment about being the last post on a page. Chris

I’m curious how long it will really be for BBTS with the shipping situation in Japan. I can’t imagine they will pay for UPS shipping unless there is some sort shipping agreement that makes it more affordable for retailers. If not then their stock is likely being sent the slow ferry way and that could take months for them to receive their stock before they can even ship them out to their customers. Chris

LEGO has the Osprey on their site, set for release in Sept. I didn’t know it had motorized gimmicks like retractable landing gear and cargo ramp! It looks AWESOME! Chris

The older “new” kit is the 2199 Yamato ship design but not in the 2199 line as it came out just before the series IIRC. It uses the original series support craft and the old ships dimension/size as Bandai wasn’t aware of the new size of the ship. The newest 1/500 is also the 2199 Yamato ship design but officially part of the 2199 line and uses the correct upsized ship dimensions. Hope that makes sense. Chris

And an awesome collection it is too. If you can bend the stand posts to a right angle you could put the base aha instead the wall to represent an ARMD hull. Just an idea. I keep building these things but have no where to put them! Chris

I’d like to, but honestly, I’d have nowhere to put it at the moment. I have been looking into purchasing those Bandai Death Star tile sets , though...just in case Chris

Enterprise update: Saucer is finished. I’m going to decal it prior to assembly since the decals a minimal and don’t interfere with seems. This way I can seal them and not worry about the clear parts getting messed up. Chris

I want to post an update but I hate when it is the bottom of the page and then promptly gets lost or overlooked when the new page forms. Come on page...roll over! Lol

Fantastic Work! Those Valk’s look awesome! Chris

While I don’t hate Discovery but do really dislike Picard, both the show and now the character (thank you so much CBS and Patrick Stewart for ruining a great character) I do objectively wonder if low numbers are more due to people not wanting to pay for a CBS streaming service. It wasn’t free on Amazon Prime here in the U.S. it was still a pay for add on even with prime. I certainly don’t want to pay for ANOTHER streaming service, particularly a CBS one. Chris

Crap I forgot about this and just sent an email too. Chris

Almost done with the upper saucer surface. Here’s a video showing how it catches and reacts to light at different angles. IMG_1922.MOV

One of the guys that does the videos for HLJ says it like that. First time I ever heard decals pronounced like that...drove me nuts I got worried I was mispronouncing it wrong my whole life. I looked it up on the internet and apparently it’s a Canadian thing and a few regional spots in the US. Chris

Thanks guys. I really REALLY love the design too. It’s a perfect update of the classic ship that, as chronocidal said, really works well as a bridge to the Refit (scale not withstanding) Personally, it’s far more believable that this design would become the Refit than the original. I ordered a second kit that want to paint up in more traditional colors...either TOS or closer to the Refit era. I’d really like some aftermarket parts like new engines and maybe a torpedo housing to go with it. It’s a perfect sized kit for me, again not considering scale, as it’s not as big as the old Ertl Refit kit or as small as the classic ships in 1/1000 kits...which are a descent size too. Just need some options. New ship names and registries would be nice too. i did some more work on her this eve, but the light is not great for such detail work and overhead light causes too much glare. I have a quarter of the saucers underside left to do now and the the edges. That should be finished tomorrow, then on to the upper surface. Chris
