For all you cross-universe fans, here's a Colonial One model in the same scale as the big-box Polar Lights NX-01 and refit Enterprise kits.

2/10/07 - After cleaning up the pour stubs and resin flash on the pieces, I began assembly with the flight deck sail and engines. I drilled 1/16" holes in the sail and body for alignment pins. Ditto the engine piece. I assembled these pieces using 8-minute epoxy putty.

2/20/07 - I cleaned up the areas where putty had oozed out during assembly using Xacto knife, files and 200-grit sandpaper.

3/3/07 - Putty putty putty. Also attached using CA and puttied the small body struts to the upper "roll bar" thrusters. Attached the secondary drive engines above/below the main engine module.

Not even a particularly nice shade of green.
