Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Oops! I goofed again. I said the decals were black instead of dk. grey. Once I fully opened the package and looked at all the decal sheets I see that they did also include the dk. grey grilles. And the cross hatching is actually visible even to someone like me with bad eyes. But this does bring up s...

I found this great site that gives the entire history of the models used on the show. It states during the production upgrades of ships: ◾Nacelle pylons: four dark gray. brick-pattern inserts placed in slots So not only are these decals black instead of dark grey, they could have allowed f...

OK, so I guess that means the old AMT kit that had these grilles may have been way off on scale and so I should not use that as an example. But maybe this example will help: This Polar Lights kit does have the grid lines on the inner nacelles. So if they can have this detail on the kit, why not the ...

I am a newbie at electronics and I'm sure my lame quesiton here will show you this but I just got to ask: I notice that all lighting kits for modeling are always based on battery power instead of house current. What if I want to keep a kit lighted all day and night long? This becomes a real burden h...
