Rocky Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Check this out: "Measuring just 8.8-micrometers long, this 1-billionth scale model of the USS Enterprise "was made with a 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion- beam CVD using phenanthrene gas by Takayuki Hoshino and Shinji Matsui of the Himeji Institute of Technology." http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/1-billionth-scale-model-of-uss-enterprise-measures-8-8-micrometers-long I'd double check the actual scale myself, but I don't know how long a Galaxy Class starship is supposed to be.

crowe-t Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would imagine it'll be tough to do the masking for the smaller paint details. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 SEE! there ARE gridlines. Now who is going to come up with the Aztec decals for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 EnterpriseD is about 2000 feet in length. The warp engines are the length of the TOS Enterprise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It looks a little crude but.... How muck is the litting kit and photo etch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GLMFAA1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It was "Beam me up" not "Beam me down" Probably as accurate as the AMT kits. Wonder how long it lasted? greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Now who is going to come up with the Aztec decals for that? I'd print some on my inkjet, but a single inkjet droplet is 11 times bigger than the whole ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
