And.....
Complete.
USS Enterprise, NCC 1701 (refit) has officially been finished. Hopefully I will be able to stage some decent pictures this next weekend.
Darn near had a fatality for the ship this past weekend. I was moving it to do some final detail work and the glue joint between the saucer and the neck revealed that it was faulty. There was a "pop" and the saucer started going in a direction I wasn't going.
Fortunately I caught it before there was any real damage. I'd recently acquired some high end 3M epoxy so I put that to work on the pins in the joint and parked it overnight. Problem solved.
On the upside, that resulted in a much better fit between those parts than I had before.
