Hi again guys.
I realised that in my first post, restoring my 1:1400 Enterprise D, https://allscaletrek.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=3826 I'd mentioned which ships were in my collection that needed restoring, but I actually haven't shown you them in their current state!
So, while I'm taking a break from the restoration of my Enterprise-D (enforced break as I can't do anything else until payday) I figured I would photograph and show them to you
Hope you enjoy, sorry it's a bit of a long post, an I apologise in advance for letting these fine ladies end up in their current states...
I'll start with:
Polar Lights 1:350 Refit Enterprise
As you can see she mostly remains unbuilt, aside from the main body, most of the parts are still on the sprues
I'd ordered Acreation Models Aztecing for her and made a start applying the decals, and painting, but I was all over the place, no plan!! I think she was too much for me at the time
See, I thought I did a decent job with the body, but it is a poor poor attempt
She is still very much salvageable.
The plan for her now is:
* Remove the paint and decals
* Paint her PROPERLY
* Order new Aztecing and decals and apply
Her stand is still in its packet along with the poles that hold her up which I'm pretty pleased about, as she is some model and will need supporting!
I'm not sure whether to save her for last as I feel she will be the biggest challenge for me. I will see how the wind blows once I've finished with the-D
Revell USS Voyager - 1:677 (Released in 1995)
So I've had this one quite a while too. This is not the latest version with the added shuttlecraft, I wish I had them extras now
Maybe I will try and source them from somewhere, if anyone could help me with that it would be much appreciated. Anyway, I digress...
I think she was the first one I had a "proper" go at, and I was quite proud with the results. but, as with all my other models I neglected her and she's become damaged, not to the point of no return but still more than she should have been:
Her engines no longer stay in their down position and just droop and you can see where she is coming apart just below the aft torpedo bay. Also I still have the stand but as with my Ent-D unfortunately is busted and I did a poor job of reattaching it, causing some damage underneath.
Notice the damage just next to the phaser strip. I really am bad at remounting these things
The most awkward thing I can see on this is the fact that one of the thrusters is missing. Not sure how I'm gonna sort this
The plan for her now is:
* Remove the paint and decals
* Paint her PROPERLY
* Order new Aztecing and decals and apply
* Source a decent stand and mount her properly
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E - 1:1400
So, there isn't much wrong here, other than her engines have fallen off and I've lost her stand
The plan for her now is:
* Reattach her engines
* Remove the paint and decals
* Paint her PROPERLY
* Order new Aztecing and decals and apply
* Source a decent stand and mount her properly
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C - 1:1400
Again there is not much wrong with her, she could just be, well... better! The paint job is looking a little tired and the decals are yellowing!!
I think she needs some TLC thats all. I have spotted on Federation Models battle damage decals and I'm seriously tempted to get them and give her a little more character, like in "Yesterdays Enterprise". I'll also have to remove that stand!
* Remove the paint and decals
* Paint her PROPERLY
* Order new Aztecing and decals and quite possibly the battle damaged decals and apply
* Source a decent stand and mount her properly
USS Defiant - NX-74205 - 1:420
Not much really wrong here, a couple of pieces have come loose but nothing a good blob of glue will fix. I still have her stand and I quite like the paint job she has. I'll have to have a think about this one
I think for now my plan might just be to repaint the stand...
No no, i've decided the plan for her now is:
* Remove the paint and decals
* Paint her PROPERLY
* Order new decals and apply
* Paint the stand and mount her
Enterprise - NX-01 - 1:350
Out of all the ships I have made I think the fact that I neglected this one annoys me the most!!
Simply because I'd put a lot of effort in to it, I masked the ship of (using Aztec Dummy which wasn't cheap) and painted it!
Fortunately there is not much wrong with her other than a few pieces that have come off, and the "0" on "01" being scratched. I can sort that easy enough with the spare decal sheet I have from my 1:350 Refit
The only big thing that might be an issue is that one of the struts on the stand is gone
dunno where too but it looks like I'm gonna have to remount it!Also, the deflector dish appears to be damaged so I may source a new one. I'm sure i've seen one on Federation Models
The plan for her now is:
* Reattach the missing pieces
* Source a new deflector dish
* Source a decent stand and mount her properly
I also found the old stand for Miss-D...
Look at the state of it!! I really shouldn't be allowed to mount models
But I was young and didn't know better. Please forgive me
Anyway, thats it for now. Any tips, tricks or hints are greatly appreciated
Thanks for reading
LLAP \V/
That would be amazing 
I've always felt very "Meh" towards her... she needs lovin' too
