Clean up of the parts.
You can't see any detail because of the transparency

More pics, next post.

Shot a coat of prime to see what they look like.

I'm only using part of each casting. And won't be using all of them... Some (bridge/B/C decks and lower saucer decks) will be kept for other builds.

Lots of flash to clean up, and afew of these will be completely chopped up.

All pieces shot with prime.

These are the TMP tops

This is a TMP bottom, wich I added a deflector dish housing to the saucer hull.

That's it for these for today.

I can't work on just one project at a time.
I get bloody bored.
So...... I'm also working on my other projects, AND a new outpost I found.
Pics to come in a new topic.

Ok... Some updates on the TOS Peregrine.
Fotos are self explanatory.

That's it for now.

TOS Lawson Class.
Not much dones....
Just glued the top and bottom sections in place, and notched out the front for the deflector dish and torp-pods.

Only one thing kinda ticked me off after I notched it.
I found several images from "FASA" (I belive, but not sure) that say that the 3 circles in front of the saucers are the "Primary Deflectors". If by any chance this is correct, I won't need to make big notches to accommodate torp-pods and dishes anymore... just big enough notches for the torp-pods.
Here's one of the images... Look at the front view.

Comments about this please.
What do you guys think?

I always thought those 3 circles were deflectors for if the saucer had to be used as a life boat...something has to keep the space dust and such at bay....and without the main deflector (in the secondary hull, as I have always seen them on a Connie class).......at least that was my interpretation.

Yea, that's what I'm figuring too.
And that being the case, they would be the main deflectors for ships w/out a secondary hull.

On the TOS Larson it'll have the notch, but on the TOS Peregrine I won't notch it (just realized a second ago, that I hadn't notched out the Peregrine yet. )

Just notch it, man. None of these are canon, might as well make them the way they make sense to you.

That's just it...
On the Larson, I kinda like the notch, but on the Peregrine, I want to follow John Payne's ship lineage.
In other words... No notch.

The TOS Larson if also finisted (build wise) and painted.
Waiting on decals....
LOTS-A PICS!
Hope you guys like.

Your attention to detail is great.
