Hey everyone.

Came home to a massive box sitting in my room. My birthday was back in July and this was my present from my brother, took ages for delivery.

a 1/350 scale of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A, it is HUGE!!!!

Wanted to show you the size of this thing!

Can't wait to get started on it!

Nice!
Are you going to get serious like the big boys(movie guys like ILM)and use fibre optics in the windows?
That would really look good!

That looks so cool Stefan.

That will cost a packet for all those little Humbrol paint pots to cover that one.

How can it be "1/350" of something that doesn't exist?

Look forward to the finished article.
