NCC-1701 refit in 1/350 scale!!!

**trekman1017** · #1 07-23-2009, 01:19 PM

I have modified SF papercrafts NCC-1701-A to acurize it, and I enlarged it to 1/350 scale. This build will take a LONG time, i have other builds I am working on, its HUGE (34 INCHES) and I'm quite possibly the sloest builder on the forum. No pix yet, it wont let me upload for some databace error
reason

Hey! Someone's taking the challenge! I'm quite excited for this.

Feel free to look over the modifications I made to my 1:1700 version. Simple things like the angled torpedo launcher aft section, nacelle/pylon connection, and nacelle details may be good starting points. I assume to "accurize" this you're going to add the concavity of the ventral primary hull and redesign the nacelles for rounder shapes?

Let me know if I can help!

As i said in an earlier post I know jack "squat" about designing. The aria that I am decent in is coloring, of which I have done alot of. Mainly I created a browinish deflector, blacked some of the windows and added some lights. Your design looks nice, especially the nacelle. It is something that I would love to use, but I'm woried that it will become picilated when I resize it. Do you have a Hi-res verson of your ship?

Dude, do what I would do: Buy a copy of the Polar Lights model and use that to create the templates. They've already saved you the work of making a 1:350 ship. All you have to do is lay pieces of paper on the surface of the pieces and use them to make the parts for a paper ship.

I make some upgrades too for the SF papercrafts refit Ent.
If you want help with details or interiors, send message.

I would like to see some pictures of your build. Have you considered using Ron's 1:350 TOS Enterprise and modifying it? I am planning on building this version in the near future.

The TOS ship was completely different in shape and would be unsuitable for conversion into a Refit Enterprise (ironic as that sounds).

Take a look-see at this page to see why.

Never mind, it was just a thought.

I can see why you'd think that. I was just trying to save him a future headache.
