'Twas the Saturday before Christmas, and alas, no Canadian Starships live stream! We have some Family Christmas events happening Saturday December 21st, but I'll be back live next Saturday, December 28th!
No live stream tonight. Kids don't want to go to bed - and I'm working on getting an update video out. See you live next Saturday (Thanksgiving Saturday here in Canada!)
Just finished filling all the windows between the phaser and the saucer edge with Solarez. Chatting with Phil from @sprueVerse about bridge dome and the possibility of using Solarez for that. Thought I'd give it a go. Made a dome part on the underside of one of my logo silicon molds. Got the right size and looks great... but it is not optically clear... which I would need if I use the bridge interiors I snagged before Shapeways closed. But if i can't find an optically clear option, this will work well!
650 scale Enterprise D: So found out that the metal plate is intended to take the place of the sensor band on the secondary hull, however it was made twice as thick by accident. So, instead of waiting for a new plate, and since the metal plate is not structurally critical, I am experimenting tonight with making laminated sheet styrene parts to take the place of the metal plate in the sensor band area. Once these 3 layers of .5mm styrene are cured, I'll test fit and adjust their size. Then I'll sand the outward face smooth before installing onto the lower hull segment.
I'm pleased to announce that I'll be working with ‪@MotionPictureMiniatures‬ to have a full colour masking set made for the 1:650 scale Enterprise D project. That means it will be available for you as well! Let them know if you want to be on the list. 2 Colour TV show version and 4 colour Generations version will both be available!

Second sensor band installed on the secondary hull. This one fought me. Hoping it stays put until it cures.
