well yall seen the port side already and here is the other side all comments are very welcome and appreciated
and here is a pic of my scratch built rolloing airframe missile defense system,let me knoe how it looks,i only had one pic to work from and i’ve never actually seen one so i probably screwed it up.
wow…i wish i had the skill to do weathering. maybe sometime i’ll get it. [:)]
i just started the Big E myself. I’m pretty much going to build it as per the instructions. makes me jealous whenever I see models like yours that are weathered. makes them look so much more real. oh well…one day… [;)]
I think you’re being too hard on yourself - the degree of weathering looks fine to my eye. As for the RAM, looks like you got the shape right (try making one in 1/700 if you want to drive yourself nuts) - just remember there are two, portside forward and starboardside aft, which I messed up on my Enterprise build. My only comment, and this is in the “insane detail” level, is that I believe there are 21 missiles in each launcher, so 21 holes. BUT - at that scale, who’s gonna know? I say go with them as is!
And here are a few more pics: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/ram-pics.htm
Man your ship looks fine like msob said you got right shape. Just check out my nimitz,your RAM looks better than mine. Keep up the good work.[tup]
thanks yall for the kind words,mfsob i think your right i’m going to stick with the 11 missile ports that i have,i used the sharp end of a nail to paint these and i don’t think i can paint anymore with my shaky hands[;)]
She’s looking good. The Tamiya Enterprise is an outstanding kit and was a fun build when I made one years ago.

Wow! How did you do that?
