MKM ModelwerxFinally got round to sanding the milliput on the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Olympic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Olympic</a>. I’ve given it another coat of black to show up areas that need more milliput (and there are still a few). <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrekModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ShipsOfStarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShipsOfStarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxAll parts for the Type 11 shuttle has been printed. I’ve done a test fit and size comparison with the 1/1400 Galaxy Class USS Arcadia. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrekModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ShipsOfStarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShipsOfStarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxPort side of the aft compartment of the Type 11 shuttle is now printed. I’ve temporarily put the bunks, chairs and storage containers in place. All that’s left to print now is the back section of the cockpit. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxLast night the starboard side of the aft compartment finished printing. Unfortunately, the supports in the wire tunnels refused to budge, so I had to come up with a workaround. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrekModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ShipsOfStarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShipsOfStarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxThose who know me, know that I don’t make things easy for myself. I’ve started sanding the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Olympic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Olympic</a>’s sphere to remove raised areas and print lines so it matches the filming model. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DModelling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DModelling</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxAnother model I’ve been after for years. 3D printed Kelvin Timeline Enterprise-A. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SciFiModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFiModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>
MKM ModelwerxHad to modify the pylon support structure. When I did a test fit, the upper sphere half sat properly, but there was a large gap between the lower half and the secondary hull, so I cut out this area at the back so that it could move further aft, now the entire sphere sits where it should. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>

MKM ModelwerxWhile I’m printing the last pieces of the Olympic class. I decided to start wiring up the deflector on the lower dome. Created a light box, painted it black and glued it into place.
