I am scratchbuilding 1/2500 Enterprises!..

Hi guys… after my PL 1/350 Enterprise, I was looking at my collection of Enterprises… I have all of the Enterprises from the Furuta range, and the Johnny Lightning NX-01 to make up the numbers… While looking at them, I decided that I wanted to have all of the enterprises in one scale…

I was lucky to get cheap on auction here in Japan the Enterprise TOS, A, & D, 3 piece set… But the B, C & E set are just about non exsistant? … Unless one of you have it???

So I decided to just scratch build the B, C, and E myself… SO I started with the B… And I just wanted to show my progress thus far… It wont be perfect as I am doing everything by eye, but it will make a nice addition to the collection…

This is a simple plan of what I did… I used basic pine from things lying around the house. Including a rolling pin… The nacelles will be done with cooking chop sticks used by my wife here in Japan

Still not completely sanded, but with a coat of primer of how it has turned out…

The nacelles will be carved out of long cooking chop-sticks used by my wife… I bought myself a power drill, and bolted it to my bench and turned it into a mini lathe… I have carved out the saucer, and it is in the process of being completed also…

Looks like a good start to me[tup][^]

Hey, that looks good, Chris! If I’d known you were looking for those, I could have traded an E-B and E-C to you or something. Shoot me an email if you’re at all interested.

^$#@$!!! [:(!]

I screwed up and hadn’t changed my email addy here - it was still set to my last deployment email address! Grrr…

Please resend to: griffyards (at) aol (dot) com Sorry for the aggravation of having to send again. I’ve corrected that here and checked the other forums I haunt, as well.

No one can deny you are not industrious!!

Looking good mate :slight_smile:

Thanks Mike. Appreciate it… It has been a whole week of puttying and sanding, just to get to this stage!.. Alot of fun to sometimes build something from scratch though!
