Hey Fellow Modelers,
This will be my first thread and build log that I have done on HobbyTalk. I have been lurking here quite a bit and decided to jump in the pool, so to speak, and learn from some of the Master's here!
I have always loved Star Trek:TOS growing up and used to run home after grade school to watch it in re-runs on local stations. When Galaxy Quest came out, I fell in love with the parody and immediately started saluting random people with the Galaxy Quest salute! When I got back into modeling a couple of years ago, I jumped at the chance to purchase and build the NSEA Protector!
In the middle of researching for build logs and threads of the Protector, I stumbled onto several websites, this one in particular and, specifically Tim Nolan's "Lighting ALL of the Galaxy Quest "Protector"; which, I am sad to note, was not finished to completion; at least in the build thread! I borrowed several ideas from his build and incorporated it into mine. I am by no means done with mine, but I would like to share where I started from to current status in an attempt to finish a lighted model.
I am not arrogant enough to presume I am the epitome of modeling excellence, but I would like to try and put out a resource for others who may want to build the model and want to avoid my mistakes!
Also, I do want to learn how to improve my building and I can best do that by input from excellent modelers just as frequent here!
Thanks!
Steve
