Glued an SMD into the front of each control tower, then glued the parts together. Gap/seam filling with milliput next. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Engine parts have now been glued together. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

This kit doesn’t need a lot of internal light blocking, so I hand painted a layer of black followed by a layer of silver on the largest... #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #2700Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

I can’t do any paint work right now (my modelling room is being used as storage), so I’ve started work on the 1/2700 #Venator. Windows have been drilled... #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

New arrival. The Revell 1/2700 #Venator class Republic #StarDestroyer model kit. Fun fact: Of all the ships in the #StarWars universe, this is the only one I actually like 😱. #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Applied milliput around the power connector and nacelle Bussard cap seams then sanded it smooth. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Quick light test now that most of the assembly is done. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Glue applied to the saucer parts with masking tape holding them together. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Top half the saucer is now wired to the bottom half. Next up is gluing the two halves together. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Here it is! The 1/1400 scale #Romulan #Valdore from Starcraft Models. Seen in Star Trek Nemesis. I’ve put the 1/1400 scale #Galaxy class USS Horizon next to it for comparison. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #StarTrekNemesis #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

New arrival. Inside this box is a top 3 wish list model I’ve been after for years but couldn’t afford. Until now! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Mystery #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Nacelles have now been glued to the bottom half of the saucer and the lights wired up. Next is wiring up the LEDs in the upper... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Milliput sanded on the nacelles/deflector assembly. As expected, there are a few tiny areas needing redone. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Before I can wire up anything else, I had to apply milliput to the nacelle and deflector assemblies. Tomorrow I’ll get it... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Lower saucer LEDs have been wired up and impulse engines have been masked. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Tenacontrols light board glued into place and I created 2 light boxes for the impulse engines on the lower saucer part... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Cut out an opening for the mini power connector and superglued it into place. I’ll apply millions round it to strengthen the hold. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #Cerritos #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

LEDs have been wired up and glued into place in the nacelles and deflector assembly. Then everything glued together... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Cerritos #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

LEDs and SMDs arrived today meaning I can start wiring up the warp nacelles for the #Cerritos. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Some internal light blocking and then a coat of silver for light reflection applied to the #Cerritos. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Done a test fit of the #Cerritos kit parts. Also shown next to the #Galaxy class USS Horizon model to show the size. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #LowerDecks #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

The 1/1400 USS #Cerritos kit is finally here! Just waiting on the Aztec decals to arrive. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #LowerDecks #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

New arrival. I wonder what it could be? #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Got a replacement hard drive sent out and now my website is back up and running again.

The next #Fanhome #Starship has arrived. The USS Farragut NCC-1647. This is the first one I don’t actually like, particularly because of the way the nacelle pylons bend inwards. Next month is the XL Enterprise-F (another I’m not particularly keen on... #StarTrek pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Well that’s just great! The drive has been delivered to the wrong address, so who knows when/if I’ll even get it now!

My website will be down today so I can upgrade my computer’s SSD. It’ll be back up ASAP.

Every word of this 👇🏻

Ended up having to redo the paintwork on the sides of the sled and the outboard sides of each pylon. Next up is… #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

I also applied white glue to the windows. Once dry they will be clear. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Masked the edges of the parts then applied milliput, then removed the masks. Once set I’ll sand it then see whether... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

One last thing. I used a pencil to draw two lines at the front of each nacelle to close the gap between the decals... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Secondary hull wired and glued to the sled. Assembly completed. Next up is filling the gaps and seams at the joins... #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

I’ve now applied a matt clear coat over the two assemblies. Next I’ll be wiring and then gluing them together. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Final decal is in place! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Saucer registry and red stripe decals applied to the top of the saucer. One decal left. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...

Starfleet insignia pennants now on the outboard side of each nacelle. 4 decals to go! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx pixelfed.social/p/mkm_modelw...
