How to Build a Model Kit - Part 2: Pylons, Secondary Hull, Neck, paint discussion and next steps

This video series will focus on the basic foundations of model building to help those who are just getting into the hobby. In this video we continue building the secondary hull, neck, pylons, and connecting that part all together. We also discuss #glue, #paintingtechniques, and a plan to move forward. We are building the #polarlights #startrek #ussenterprise Refit with Battle Damage. You can keep up with this series in the weeks to come as we build the Enterprise together under the playlist "Polar Lights 1:1000 USS Enterprise Refit with Battle Damage".

Here are some of the supplies you may need for this build. (JCModelCreations may earn an affiliate commission if you purchase something through recommended links. #commissionsearned):

Great job! I like how you go through and explain all the steps without skipping anything. Especially for us beginners.

One last thing? Testors styrene cement. Yes, it it has its usefulness but I'd suggest investing in Tamiya also. And/or Plastruct. One more, "Perfect Plastic". Incredibly good products, they have uses depending on application.

Enterprise was pearlescent in TMP, it was completely repainted more of a flat white for TWK because it was so reflective that it had blue spill issues from the blue screen.

OMG. I think I mentioned before, back in 1969 I started building SO MANY of these AMT kits. Ok actually built one and made it into a hat, won a prize. (A Gay "Mad Hatter" Easter event, so? Well....)....Gay people also love Star Trek.

Tip by gluing on the the nacelles tou are going to run into problems with alignment of the nacelles later on, not to mention if you are doing a job the aztec decals the problems you will have with applying decals in those areas.
