After two years messing about with it, the Enterprise is finished...yaaay!. Great kit, first I've built since I was about 14. I've got to work out where to display it now.

Display it against the backdrop of a Tholian Web

Stick cotton wool doused in alcohol on it and set fire to it then chuck it out of the window. Space disaster. Mind and film it....

I did that with my airfix Lancashire bomber. Camera phones weren't invented at that point in time so no video!

You do realise that the USS Enterprise is a Constitution class starship? If it was 1/72 scale it would fill the house. Jeez!

Wiki says it is 642m long (if it actually existed), so 1/72 scale would make it almost 9m long!

Yes, but is that at near light speed? If it was stationary, it could be a lot smaller.

If it was going at near light speed it would be difficult to get a decent photo of it.
