Brett M Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just figured I would throw up some images of my just finished Enterprise C. Some artistic license taken on some areas of color choice. JT Graphics for the decals, excellent quality. Not bad, even if the kit is one of the worst fitting I've built. Onto a Bandai X Wing...night and day in quality!

Trojan Thunder Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Nice work Brett, paint looks great. What brand and colours did you use? Edited July 1, 2018 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, the hull is all Testors Model Master paints. The grey being Light Grey. The blues are a mix of flat white and blue (FS35199) and Intermediate Blue till I got a color I liked. The neck is Euro 1 grey and then any other light grey's are Light Ghost Grey. The engines, deflector and red are all Tamiya acrylic clear blue and clear red sprayed over Floquil Reefer White (wish I could get more of this!). Hope that helps!

I have a started kit sitting in the orbital construction yard (shelf of doom), still sorting out seems. The old AMT instructions aren't the best for colour call outs.

Yeah, I didn't think so either on the kit instructions. What kit are you working on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It is a early boxing of the Enterprise C by AMT. I have some aftermarket decals for it, they seem to be old as well so I expect they won't be as detailed as the ones you used on yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The kit decals were about as yellow as could be, scary. I do recommend the JT Graphics decals. They were only around $20 I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan_Lotton Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 That looks great! I think the trap that people fall into is replicating the studio model paint scheme exactly..but forget that it's on a much larger model, meant to be hit by different lights, different filters, etc..it's like how in old hollywood the makeup was super gaudy and outrageous because it needed to show up in the lighting they used. I remember when they announced the 1/1400 Enterprise-C that people were hoping they'd follow up with a 1/1400 1701-B, -A and 1701 but..alas, no. Maybe Polar Lights will go nuts and do the rest of the Enterprises in 1/1000? LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aldo....I don't have room for a 1/1000 C, D and E! HA! I have the refit Enterprise and NX-01 in 1/350, waiting to be built.....but no where to put them when done 😞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 But those 1/350 Enterprises are SO cool when built......CVN-65 NX-01, NCC-1701 NCC-1701-A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Well SWMBO was the determining factor..I'm "limited" to 1/1400 and 1/1000 scale... ... *For now* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
