WIP: 1:350 Scale NCC-1701 Refit (Herb)

This version of the famous starship is the refit first seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

The model is lighted with a kit by Trekmodeler.

I am also using photo etch details made by Paragrafix.

First steps! Lightblocking the shuttle bay pieces and primary hull pieces.

 

Attaching photo-etch details and painting the shuttle bay pieces. Starting to paint the arboretum and officers lounge.

Assembling the shuttle bay.

Painting and adding greenery to the arboretum. It's always a challenge deciding how detailed to make this, because the reality is, very little of the arboretum is visible in the finished model.
