This Sovereign
Replicas Enterprise 1701E is a big piece of kit 40" long
(that’s over 1 meter in new money), so when we heard that
Ian was planning to mask the many meters of pin line markings
using our 0.5mm micro masking tape we had to see how he would
get on.
The patience
of a saint? Or just a little mad? We weren’t sure but as
you can see from these pictures he stuck with it and achieved
a stunning result. Proving again that patience, skill and a clear
idea of the result your hoping to achieve really pays off.
Here at Jammydog
we pride ourselves on producing a quality product and one which
is a very versatile tool for a whole range of scale model building
application. However, as with all tools, its only as good as the
craftsmen (and Women) who use it.
With this
project Ian has really raised the bar high, if you think that
you have a project which challenges Ian’s position as top
Jammydog Taper then you better let us know…and we can send
the Doctors straight round!
With Thanks
to Ian at www.ianlawrencemodels.com
formerly Raytheonmodels.com
for letting
us use the pictures of his masking marathon.
Ian's full
diary of the Enterprise build can be seen
here.
The Enterprise
1701E is available from Sovereign
Replicas, if you dare!
