USS Enterprise ... sheet metal kit, something a little different.

Got this as a fun present from my son at Xmas, just got round to building it up.

Comes in flat laser etched sheets that you bend and roll to give the required shape, then small tabs hold the whole thing together.

The package



The finished article, It's 5 inches long.









The etching detail is quite good

Wow, that is pretty cool, Colin. Never saw that before.

ive seen all sorts of these sort of things getting sold......a friend did the X-wing a while back

Looks cool mate very neat, how long did it take to build? I have seen a couple of these on Ebay which sparked my interest but not bought any yet.

In total about 6 hours trying to take my time and do it properly, and a couple of bleeding fingers Ash ... Some tabs are sharp when you snip them off.

Never thought about the danger factor but it does make sense.

Cheers matey, i may invest in one when we get back from our hols

Fat thumbs and small sharp bits Ash ... Not good bedfellows lol

Colin, that is brilliant!!!

Been seeing these on ebay for quite some time now but never seen one built. Could you post a photo with the standard scale measuring device please Colin.

I think I may buy one of their Star Wars AT AT's.

That is the best of the small u-bend-the-metal models I've ever seen. Big congrats on something that would really challenge us!

Thanks guys, was a fun and unusual build


As per the request Al

Thanks for that Colin.

Just ordered an AT AT.



I'd love to get a styrene AT AT but they seem to be as rare as rcky horse doo dah!! o
