frankv74 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If you are planning to build a fleet of Star ships in 350 scale. You may want to take a look at how big you ships have to be for them to all match.350 scale Enterprise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RiderFan Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) I've built three of these and am converting another into a 1:350 Reliant. To put it into a different perspective; One of my more recent builds along side a 1:350 scale Titanic. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt75/da...er/Imgp0078.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt75/da...er/Imgp0079.jpg Edited May 25, 2010 by RiderFan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RiderFan Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Are you married, Cause my wife won't let me have one model in the house! Yes, married. She's the one that helped me organize the rec-room so they could be displayed better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 They forgot one...... The 1/350 scale USS Enterprise CVN-65 is the same length as NCC-1701 A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiderFan Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 They forgot one...... The 1/350 scale USS Enterprise CVN-65 is the same length as NCC-1701 A. Pretty close yep, CVN65 is 343 meters while the Refit Enterprise is 305. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splatcat Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 nice pics. I love the one next to the carrier. Simply put, I have one and I am slowly gathering goodies to add to it, Photetch, lighting, lasers, supports stands, etc....I freely admit that a 1/350 Enterprise D or E sounds cool in thoery, I have no desire to own one that size. Its kind of like when I look at a 1/48 B-1B. I want one but I always ask myself, "What do I do with it when it's done?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A single post up just behind the primary deflector dish. There are photos on another thread that show the really old "three post" stand that the model used to come with, but that has long since been replaced by a solid steel bar that is VERY strong (as you can see in my photos with it beside Titanic). The lighting kit for these costs more than the model itself (not uncommon). I think the complete kit is about $250 now. "What do I do when it's done?" Of my three I sold one of my 1:350 Enterprise's on Craigslist. There are a lot of Star Trek fans that would love to have a model of the Enterprise of this size but have neither the skill or time to build it to studio model specs (which I do).

Did you paint the Aztec, or go with the decals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Face Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The ned to make 350 scale bird of pray technically the scale of the Klingon Bird of Prey is up for some debate, and depending on who you ask, the AMT kit can be pretty close to 1/350 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiderFan Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Did you paint the Aztec, or go with the decals? I tried painting aztec and failed miserably. That's the one I've cut up and am kit-bashing into a Reliant. The decals do the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've done some research and I came to the conclusion that it's 1:350. So that's good enough for me. It's not good enough for others because most of the research is driven by fan created documentation (as is much of Star Trek). But I count it as 1:350 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Round 2 are re-tooling the AMT KBoP to include a landed option, which may or may not help to address the scale debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Cartwright Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 This is a great thread! Love the size comparisons and photos, and exciting news from Round 2 as well -- especially happy to hear about the new Reliant and BoP releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RookieLSP Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That scale perspective kinda floored me! I knew the Galaxy class was much bigger but wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K'Tesh Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 At one time in my past I really wanted to make a copy of each of the Enterprises (sailing, carriers, shuttle, and starships) in the same scale... My favorite scale... 1/48th. Imagine a 41 foot long 27 foot wide NCC-1701D. Of course this would be for a museum (contained in a 1/48th scale Borg cube). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K'Tesh Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Am I the only one to notice the error in the graphic? NCC-1701D or NCC-70837 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Am I the only one to notice the error in the graphic? NCC-1701D or NCC-70837 I don't think there were any Galaxy-class ships in the show with that number. The USS Galaxy was NCC-70637, so maybe it was a simple mistake.
