Nice job!

Thanks Pascal merci beaucoup

[TF17Greg]

Dear all....after checking a couple of pictures ( mainly the elevator of the Enterprise) of the elevator l made this extra work...not finished yet...

[TF17Greg]

trim them down as they stick out too much in relation to the picture.

I most defenetely will...Sir

[TF17Greg]

As per promised....
I finished the edge of the elevator and l started the wall in front of it....
Enjoy

[TF17Greg]

Dear all here is today's update...so l prepared the holes for the 2 other elevators and added details (cable reels) on the bow structure...enjoy

[TF17Greg]

your 4 vertical "+" beams are located in the wrong spots plus missing a round post between the back 2 "+" beams. your frame work should match Pascal's framework https://i.postimg.cc/BvYQBt4y/Screensho ... 48-320.jpg with the vertical "+" beams located on the longitude beams #2 & #4 like this https://i.postimg.cc/cLWmzv1k/Screensho ... 19-537.jpg

Thanks DavidP for your comment
1. I don�t see where m'y 4"+" beams are wrong (check the picture of the original plans)
2. Thanks for the info on the 2nd round post
3. I don�t have the PE set for matching Pascal�s superb work

[TF17Greg]

OK DavidP....

Got your point but still if you look at the plans l don�t see what you mean... and l think there is a mistake there are only 4 beam (red ones)

I think l will scratch build the structure since in the kit (the one l did so far)is not correct and l will try to do it like this you can see that the central beam is not present...
Thanks

[TF17Greg]

Well....DavidP thanks to your comment l found out the mistake of the structure
The kit structure is 1.42mm thick which is waaayyyy to big so l will scratch build it in 0.6 or 0.7mm thick plasticard since in metal will be to difficult to cut and glue....(l'll try in metal but l don't think it will be ok)...
Have a nice evening

[TF17Greg]

Dear all here is today's update...well as l supposed the copper foil that l have it's way too thin...so l decided to use 0.6mm plasticard..still there will be corrections to do...but it's starting well....enjoy

[TF17Greg]

Dear all here is today's update....the structure in plasticard does not work....sooooo brass and super detailling of the 2 catwalks...
Hopefully it will fit...l still have to do a lot of dry fitting...enjoy

[TF17Greg]

Dear�all...today's update....this structure it's really complicated but rewarding..enjoy
