Revell new Enterprise model kit!

Bryancd · February 04, 2013, 02:36:50 PM

Looks like it's getting close to release. They have scaled it down to be 1:500, which based on the completed kit length makes the JJ 'Prise about 300m, similar to the TOS Enterprise. But in the 9min. trailer it still looked like they were trying to go with the 2000 foot monster the ship was sometimes in the first movie. :old_bash:
Regardless, I'm getting it. :)

Awesome! Looks sweet! Makes me think the big girl will survive anything Cumberkhan can dish out! :)

That's a fine looking model. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

It's actually a little ragged on the paint work, but I assume that's just a rush job to get it to the show, as evidenced from this angle of the model!

I am looking forward to this one as well, I think it will be a fun one to work on. Those over Sized Nacelles look like it will be fun to put together.

So, did you get this kit yet Bryan? 1/500 scale kit of the JJ-Enterprise. Looks pretty sweet. Lots of videos on Youtube on the kit, building it, etc. I'll post a few below.

Steve Neil is doing one and there is a nice one on the RPF going. The kit is really expensive to get from Germany thought, so I haven't jumped in yet. :)

That eBay link I posted only works out to about $60. shipped. But the price and shipping varies a lot per listing.

I would aslo like to wait until JT Graphics or someone else makes aztec decals for it.

Rico · August 14, 2013, 08:14:38 AM

This new JJ-Prise seems to have only a very subtle Aztec pattern. I like the way the Trekworks guys masked and airbrushed their ship.

Yeah, there are guys making the masks but I have never tried that. I suppose this would be a good kit to try, alothough I do not have an air brush.

Bryancd · August 14, 2013, 08:55:43 AM

Damn you Rico! I bought it. :) And in the RPF thread they found the first company that will make the new decals!

You need an airbrush. You will discover how much fun they are vs. using a simple aerosol can. So much more control and function.

P.S. I'm about to buy a kit too I think - LOL!
