BuildEnterprise

Dave Hackett's Bandai Enterprise

While this kit is not perfect, it's way clear that massive thought and attention to detail have been put into it. I'd like it to be bigger, but I'll go with it anyway because it looks so well done. In my opinion, this looks like the best Enterprise A out there.   It looks good from both a design standpoint, and being pre-azteced.

Modifications to this model include:

  • Spotlights to project light onto the hulls
  • LEDs in the nacelles
  • Arboritum Lights
  • Lighted officer's lounge

Details on these modifications can be found in the On The Bench section
 

Here's some better pictures of the kit with my temporary stand.

I took these of the kit in the dark. The low light level and long exposure show light leaks that aren't as evident in normal light. But all in all not bad for a small kit. The spotlight effort was worth it I think.
