Well it has been well over a year since i got hold of that massive box containing the 1/350 scale model of the starship enterprise, I have finally gotten around to thinking about starting it.
Now as my experience with plastic models is rather thin to say the least i figured i would invest in a couple of less extravagant kits to practice on first, so i went out and got myself a kit of the USS voyager and a marquis fighter both produced by revell.
now compared with the polar lights kit they are very basic as far as parts are concerned but with the plans i have in mind that is neither here nor there, I have already started the voyager kit, I started by giving it all a base coat of a warship grey, then i went in and started all of the fiddly detail bits of painting, my next step was the line the inside of the main saucer with tin foil as i intend to light it up.
I am still undecided as to how i am going to achieve this, whether it be with LED’s or GoW bulbs, of course LED’S would be more efficient with power saving but as i am going to be adding a mains power supply to it i shouldn’t have any issues.
I will try and get some photos up soon. And hopefully i will get my workshop back to a reasonable working condition again so i can finish off this project.
I have just found a couple of pics that i took a few weeks ago, as you can see it still has a long way to go, I am thinking of adding some light battle scarring to the saucer, the decals have to be added and not forgetting the lighting, plus i am going to have to alter the stand a bit to accomodate the power supply, again i’m unsure as to how i am going to go about that, I’m sure it will come to me though.
Well after quite an unsettled night i am positively feeling like shit, hardly slept a wink, but on a plus note, as i dont have the energy to do anything i’m cuddled up with my son dylan on the sofa.
i’m also able to learn my way around wordpress a bit more too, i doubt it will be long before i drift off for a little doze though
function add($a, $b)
{
return $a + $b;
}
$add = "add";
$add(2, 8); // return 10
After finding that i simply don’t have the time to spare to write my own blogging system i have sucumbed to the masses and opted to use the ever so popular wordpress script, after having setup several sites in the past with it, the most recently being my wifes site about an hour ago, I have found the whole process to be so simple to install.
One of my other motives for moving over to WP was to better familiarize myself with how it works on the technical front so i can beetter asssist my friends and family with their own blogs.
