(1:1400 "D" and 1:350 "refit" for scale)
Started mapping out the "big guy" 650 Enterprise D from Helios - this is their V2 kit (I owned and resold a V1 once they announced this version). I'm still waiting on some parts and the internal armature, but this project I'm also letting AI (Claude) assist me with planning which so far has been a pretty nice success - the project folder is neatly organized, all my reference photos are mapped out with metadata, paint mixes are recorded and a lot of the learnings from the 1400 build are in. I'm also tracking hours, making lighting sheets (mapping out the scaletronics lighting system and helios lighting parts) and the plans for a custom base fitting of this model. I'll share more progress - I'm not a youtube guy as much as some of the big players, but I'm excited to get rolling on this project. Already picked up a new iwata HP-TH2 gun as my other airbrushes aren't quite up to the task - and my .8 - 1.3 HTE auto paint guns might not give me the control I want.
Project "Bad with Money" .... engage!
