Very nice!

Awesome.

I found this interesting...

Another little change I made from the 1/350 kit was to have the chiller grills (I think that’s what you call them- the copper colored half football shaped grills on the sides of the nacelles) be made separate pieces as well so they can also be painted separately and inserted after all other painting is done. I hope this helps you guys out.

Why yes, It does help us out - immensely! :thumbsup:

Of all the pieces on the 1:350 refit that I wished had been separate for easier painting, that one is at the top of my list so I think that's a very thoughtful change to make. Thanks!

It's nice to see thoughtful tooling. Well done!

... and the ball 'n' socket stand looks good. I'll buy a couple of these babies.

I can't wait to see it painted and decals.

I want to compliment Round 2 on their wonderful job and attention to detail on the Star Trek model kits. Keep up the good work!

 

[Magesblood]

the ball-and-socket concerns me. What if it's loose or gets loose?

 

[aric]

will PL be doing an 18" (or close to that size) refit/A?

 

[PixelMagic]

Why couldn't the JJprise be this beautiful, but in a different way?

Well...I suppose you could position it the way you want and super glue it in place.

 

[aric]

I suppose if it got loose you could snap the ball out and put some thin CA on the ball and let it dry. 1-2 coats might just increase the balls diameter enough to make it snug again

Probably not.

 

[Griffworks]

Very nice! :thumbsup:

I might have missed this in previous threads about this kit, but is the shuttle bay going to be included for an open display? Or is it going to be a closed display? It's not a deal killer for me or anything, just curious to know.

Hm. I don't really like the stand. I'd be happier with a straight "model on a stick" approach, without that ungainly mechanism right under the model. But that's my only negative comment at all. The rest: :thumbsup:

 

[WarpCore Breach]

The kit that PL should have done while they had the chance! YES! This will be a much-anticipated and hot-selling kit! Nice idea about the warp engine pieces going to be made separate and installable from the outside. Very ingenious, actually. Maybe even head-slapping "Why didn't anyone think of this before?!?" kind of stroke of inspiration!

A friend of mine will be buying a case of them and will probably be splitting it w/me. That ought to do it for me, with the backlog I've got! I have in mind 3 ships for sure that I'd like to do in the cruiser configuration.

I recall PL/R2 saying that there will be no shuttle bay.

I can hardly wait for this kit!

Based on this pictures on their web site, it appears that the shuttlebay is closed:

The bay doors are visible in the lower right below the deflector dish and above the secondary hull and warp pylons.
The picture does not show an open door piece or any shuttle bay or shuttle craft parts

 

[Nova Designs]

Oh this is looking amazing!

 

[John P]

The Alliance resin kit has a detailed shuttle bay with a choice of open or closed doors. Same scale.

 

[Griffworks]

Thanks for the responses, fellas.

The Alliance kit is fantastic and I love the fact it's got the optional shuttlebay. Was just curious to know if the upcoming release had the same.
