For now, I'm currently near completion of my drydock model. Maybe a month or so to go but if you'd like to catch up on the build, check out our site! I'll post some pics here later on! See Ya!

I have added just one pic in Drydock pt. II. I have finished putting the inserts and colored gels on the entire port side frame. (21 panels) I added the pic to show how much closer I am to finishing this project. Now I'm working on the Starboard side and should have that finished by the end of next week. Then I can start assembling the frames to the overhead modules! Enjoy the pic and see you in the next update!

Just an update. As of today I now have all of the panel frame covers in place for both sides. I'm not addding a new pic at this point because it is identical to the other side. If you haven't seen the first side then check out my website. I have to do a little bit of re-soldering for some of the panels due to connection problems, but they're basically done. Now I'm going to be adding the spindles to the overhead modules, then I need to add some re-enforcement to the armature to hold the weight of the ship and the drydock. After that I should be able to put the panelframes together with the overhead modules, then I can start on the booms and other details. I also will begin working on the final wiring and the roof of the overhead modules. Hang in there, people! I'm getting there!

That looks an awesome project.I dont think I'd have the nerve to even start something on that scale.Well done

I've added 2 new pics to Drydock pt II. The final details for the underside of the Overhead modules has been added. I'm now completely finished with that part of the model. I've also added some re-enforcement for the modules armature. This will help support the weight of the panel frames. I'll get a picture of that in there by the next update. Now, I will be working on the models mounting box which will house the entire model for when I transport it hopefully to model shows. I need to do this now because once I assemble the panel frames to the overhead modules, it will be very difficult to move the model around. Plus I'll have a stable surface to work on the additional details and wiring that will be added when the re-fit model gets added. Stay tuned! More to come!

Looking good there, and the other models on your site look incredible too

BIG UPDATE TODAY! I've added 19 new pics to the Drydock pt II page! I've finished the important part of the drydock display stand and I've assembled the starboard side of the panel frames. I've also added the PL Enterprise and did a few test pics with the model in place. It's looking sharp! Before I can add the other side of panel frames, though, I have to work on the gangway tunnel and a few other pieces that need to be added before the Enterprise can be enclosed in the Drydock. I hope everyone who visits enjoys these pics. It just means I'm that much closer to finishing my dream model! Please leave any comments you wish! I'll see you on the next update!

That model is looking cooler by the day

Got a little more done today. I've built and drilled out holes on the pivots for the work booms and I've started on the travel pod dock that is connected to the outsode of the gangway. I have the Light booms finished and will start wiring by the end of the week. Just a few more details to complete here and then I can begin the final assembly of the entire Drydock. Hang in there... She's nearing her finish.

I've now begun lighting the Work booms and the 6 sided panels. I've added some fiber optics to save on LEDs. This also helps to add more lighting effects for the model. On page 5 you can see how the optics will light up the ends of the work booms. More to come later!

I've added 15 new pics for the Drydock pt II. I've finished up some of the detailing on the spot lights, work booms, work lights, and the misc. panels. I've also added some dry transfers to a few of the pieces. I've also started working on the part of the Drydock that I've been looking forward to since I've started working on this project and that is the "Gangway" that will connect the Enterprise to the drydock. By the next update I'll have that detailed a little more and painted up. Then I can start adding these pieces to the model and finally enclose the drydock around the Enterprise! More to come!

I've been doing a lot of work on the Drydock these last 2 weeks. I have 12 new pics that show off some very nice views of the model, thus far. I've begun wiring the PL Enterprise to it's connectors and have run the wires up to the overhead modules. I've also painted the Gangway. Next I'll finish building the coverings to hide the wiring and then I'll start to add the work booms and lights. I had to add some re-enforcement rods to the side panels to support the weight of the panels and to help straighten them out. It will also keep the model together so I can move it around without worry during transport. These rods will be painted later on. I also have some good news for those of you who didn't care much for the green color on the Enterprise "Strong-back". (I know I didn't really care for it and the more I thought about it... I REALLY didn't care for it.) Sooo... I decided to make the color a lot more subtle as seen on ST:TMP. This also harmonizes with the rest of the Aztec detailing. You know it's there, but it doesn't jump out at you. In the next few weeks I'll also be making a cover for the model box so it will be safe when it's stored or being moved. Stay tuned. It's nearly done!
