THIS PAGE ILLUSTRATES A FEW OF THE MANY STEPS IT TAKES TO BUILD A PROJECT.

NEW PROJECT! POSTED 3/5/2011

I WILL POST OTHER PROJECTS OF INTEREST IN FUTURE EDITIONS! 

THIS IS A BASIC OUTLINE OF THE 36 INCH INCH, POLAR LIGHTS, STAR TREK ENTERPRISE REFIT STARSHIP PROJECT. THERE ARE ACTUALLY OVER 1200 STEPS REQUIRED TO BUILD THIS MODEL, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN SOME OF THE  MAIN POINTS OF THE PROJECT, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CREATING IT.

THIS WEB PROGRAM ONLY ALLOWS ME TO POST A FEW OF THE IMAGES, THAT DOCUMENT THIS COMPLEX BUILD.

THIS PROJECT USES ABOUT 2000 HOURS OF STUDIO TIME, ROUGHLY 8 MONTHS. IT ALSO COSTS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, THE CUSTOMIZED PLEXIGLASS DISPLAY CASE, AND VARIOUS HOBBY AND ART MATERIALS, LIKE SPECIALTY ENAMEL PAINTS.

THE KIT IS HEAVILY MODIFIED DURING THE BUILD, AND HUNDREDS OF EXTRA DETAILING PARTS ARE ADDED, TO MAKE IT MORE ACCURATE.

BELOW, IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER, ARE JUST A FRACTION OF THE MANY STEPS REQUIRED, TO BUILD THIS UNIQUE DISPLAY PIECE.  ENJOY THE SHOW!
