A 31 year old vintage kit, crude by today's standards. So much sanding, so much filler, so many imperfections. It feels like I'm actually carving the ships myself out of soap or something. A real challenge. I hope I can make them look decent.

I don't know about progress, but thanks! A real study in putty.. I've been spoiled with too many perfectly fitting modern kits compared with this oldie.

Yeah, those old (and heck, even new) AMT kits are made with such brittle and ill-fitting plastic. I bought the F-104 Starfighter "Tomorrow is Yesterday" Album | Album by JamesWhite (1:48) kit primarily for the jet because I love that plane. You'll see that I didn't put enormous care into the fit and finish of the Enterprise in that one, so I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!

Crash and burn ladies and gentlemen, literally... Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction and am recovering from second degree burns to my hand.. But we're all fine here now.. How are you?

Yikes! Sorry to hear that JD. As if building this kit wasn't hard enough!

Yeah these older kits require so much more modeling skills then I realized.. It's like one step forward, two steps back..
