good evening everyone most of the outside cladding is done now and i have been doing a lot of sanding on her today what do you call the box the crew sit on, well what ever it id called, work has progressed on that as well the side panels are leather (well simulated) and this confused me for a while, the material is used to cover both sides of the wooden pieces and pulled across the open area, so why not make it one piece quite a lot still has to be done before i can put this into place, and yes i keep looking at the enterprise, worrying myself on where to restart on her

good evening everyone thank you for the comments, i got the Enterprise out of storage, did a lot of contemplating, and thought i need to finish something, I have very little to show for this year, other than the display case, im aware its not a race but that’s me so the coach continues both sides are now pretty well covered, and the wrapping of the ends is going on, a lot of sanding is required the final couple are with the seats just placed in for now to see how she looks

good evening everyone i have a problem (or maybe i am the problem) is the doctor still around? my desire to get on with the Enterprise is making me want to put this away, which is a shame, does anyone else suffer from that, or is it that i am spoilt for choice, anyway i did a few bits but moved on the the soft furnishings the coach internal has to seats either end and a bench through the middle 2 + 3 + 2 and two up top these were fun to make up, but the nail heads do detract the final finish, i am trying to dull them down

i never thought that the box art would add so much to the cost of a kit, this could be another way ahead for others to copy (you certainly are leading the way ahead in the wired clan) lol

Of course we would all like to see others work

lol im sure they were far better than my feeble attempt

thank you we all learn something new everyday

thank you, the kit provides for the window blinds and lettering, in fact the kit does a good set up - but as i have found in the past AL does provide poor strip-wood lamps are also included, powered by a 9 volt battery, but they look over sized
-
the covering is with some very poor 1x5mm veneer, i have done the lower half of one side and will post a photo later
-
Thank you so much for your reply, i appreciate that very much, i would still like to put some gloss varnish/lacquer on there
-

how was the wooden body protected, was it varnish, and if so, would a high gloss been available, as that is what if fancy putting on? and thank you for your wealth of knowledge on the subject
