WIP: 1:350 Scale NCC-1701 Refit (Ryan H)

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

The model is lighted with a lighting kit made by Trekmodeler.

I am also using photo etch details made by Paragrafix.

Update: 12/10/2024

This is where I usually start...with the shuttle/hangar bay. I first attach the photo-etch details to the walls.

Update 8/11/2024

A couple of these photos show two other builds I'm working on simultaneously...

Painting on the shuttle bay pieces and the arboretum proceeds...

Update 9/7/2024

Finished arboretum and officers lounge (three are pictured because two are for other models I'm building simultaneously).

Update 9/21/2024

Installed shuttle bay running lights.

Update 10/05/2024

Finishing the shuttle bay.

Preparing the lower secondary hull.

Attaching the shuttle bay to the hull.

Update 11/02/2024

Neck assembled and added to the secondary hull.

Update 11/27/2024

Secondary hull is completed; I am doing accent painting. Saucer halves are almost ready to wire up and assemble together (not pictured).

Update 12/10/2024

This is not the most recent picture - I'll be posting saucer photos soon. This is the secondary hull done except for accent colors, lower hull aztecs, and decals, which I apply later.
