OK - so let me ask since this thread was started. I have a boxed K-7 station and I would like to start building it. Now the problem I have is this! The kit is missing one of it's three domes. Does anyone happen to have an extra or an old kit I could get without having to wait until Round 2 gets them to us? :freak: Plus I just don't want to buy a full kit just to replace this small part. Just thought I'd ask!:drunk:
I have some K7 station parts, loose in a box. What specifically are you looking for? "One of the three domes", is that one of the clear cones on top, or one of the clam-shell halves, for the arms?
If he means one of the transparent cone-like structures, they're molded in clear styrene with fine surface detail. I think duplicating that part would be beyond the capabilities of the average modeler, unless you happen to have your own injection-molding machine in the basement.
First quarter (of the year), January 1through March 31. Second quarter, April 1 through June 30, etc. Gives them wiggle room in case there are issues with the product.
I'd like to know if there are more decals included than what the illustration seems to show--isn't there a large K-7 for the main structure? Regardless of the kit's inaccuracies (and there's no way I'm displaying it with that horrendous little Enterprise) you can get it at least a bit closer to what's seen on screen with the right paint job and decals.
*sigh*
when bond writes "main structure" and "than what the illustration seems to show" he's not referring to the K7 on the cone which the aforementioned illustration and the links obviously show but the saucer where there's clearly only "federation blah, blah, blah" on the links but not on the illustration
ya, I know that. I'm saying the release dates are a little un-specific. Probably due to one of the reasons listed before.
BUT, the mk.II Viper should have already hit the shelves by now given Moebius' assertion that it was to be released Jan '10 and here it's the end of Feb.
Actually with the ribs on the main structure it probably doesn't make sense to try and duplicate the UFP markings--I wonder if that was ever on the original miniature anyway since none of edge-on camera angles could have shown that.
I assume you've all seen, or remember "The IDIC Page". They had some great shots of Greg Jein's station model, made for the DS-9 series. In know the IDIC site is gone now, but the WayBack Machine, still has it in the archive.
Thanks for the cool links! :thumbsup: Yes indeed...I hope some research went into the D-7 kit if not better fit etc. A better Enterprise would be great too.
I never had this kit so I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, IIRC, there's very little gluing surface between the ends of the three tubes and the holes they fit into in the central module. I'm sure those joints would be fairly easy to reinforce with a scratchbuilt internal armature of some kind.
OK - well I'm almost finished my Vulcan Shuttle! Just got the Enterprise 1000. So I'm going to work on that one and also my K-7. Now do I put K-7 on the main cone like it is in the picture? Just wondering!:freak: I also wonder how different will the new Round 2 be from my original?
could someone use that expandable foam in the areas of which you speak?
Dowels or rods would probably be better in this case, huh?
