Lighting and motor test for the Revell “USS Enterprise” from Star Trek (2009)

As part of a club “Pre-1975” build challenge, I’m doing the old 1701 from AMT, originally tooled in 1967. It’s wildly inaccurate but one of the rules of the build is no aftermarket parts that weren’t available before 1975.

Some of my award-winning models from this past weekend at Wonderfest in Louisville, KY.

This one feels like it’s finished. 1/700 USS Enterprise from the 2009 movie, kit by Revell, lighting control board by Tenacontrols, masks by Aztec Dummy.

When I start humming the music while I’m working, I know I’m feeling good about it.

I got a bag of 1mm glass beads to use for nav light lenses.

All electronics are self-contained. 12v power is delivered by a ⅛ mono audio jack which allows for easy removal and free-spin rotation.

This shows the masking and painting stages. The darker color is tinted back with white to be a much more subtle effect.

I wasn’t going to start another model but I had ideas about this one. Consider this a proof of concept, kind of a “sketch” on how to do the spinning and navigation.

Oh shit! 😂 I was chatting with a cute guy, even talking Genesis, until I sang a male voice song.
He picked up his PBR from the table and went back to the bar as I was singing.
Anyway, here’s another engine test:

I’m fairly happy with how this build is turning out! It took a lot to get to this point.
It’s been a long road… 😁

There’s a lot of cutting apart and reassembling decals, inserting custom printed ones, to turn it from the NCC-1864 Reliant to the NCC-1887 Saratoga.

I found a non-working LED on my 1/350 NX-01. A repair team has been assigned.

I’m up way too early. I have a minor surgical procedure in a few hours and I guess I’m nervous. And hungry.
So I’m in my workshop.

NX-01 is done. Enjoy the vid!

I got it assembled and fully working. This has been a pain. Nothing fits right. While it’s an impressive scale, it’s poorly engineered. The work of sealing light leaks and gaps will be tedious.

Anyone have experience with the 1/350 NX-01? I’m worried about closing up the pylon cross piece and connecting to the saucer and seeing it throw off the engine alignment.
