Here's a demo video of my completed 22" USS Enterprise with lights, sound, and a custom lighted base.
No, it's not perfect but I "gave her all I got!".
Hope you like what I did here.
i modified a cutaway AMT USS ENTERPRISE kit due to it being not as big as the 1/350 scale Polar Lights kit but larger than the classic 18" kit that was first released in the 60s.
I already have a 1/350 scale Constitution class refit and don't have spare room for another kit of that size.
Shout out to Tony at scifisports on eCrater! I purchased the light kit from him and he was helpful through the whole process of building this light board!
Note that this light board is NOT plug n play. Soldering skills are required as the board has to be assembled.
In addition to this board, I accurized the AMT kit with resin parts from Paul M. Hewitt.
I bought those years ago and finally got aro7nd to building this kit.
Let me know what you think.

Excellent job Tracy! A ship worthy of display for sure! 👍

Thank you very much! It was a lot of work, but well worth it! I'm having William Shatner sign a small panel that I'll glue on the base in October. I have a 1/350 refit he signed last October.

Amazing! I am in awe!!! Awesome job! I was never a fan of the spinning motor in the Nacelles so I'm glad you just used the spinning moire of lights. IMO it just looks so much cooler! Great job and man you've got some serious skill!!! Great work! Thanks for the vid! 😀👍

Ah crap, now I feel nostalgic for Star Fleet Battles. Most of their ships were original series technical manual vintage. Paramount / Desilu could have shown us so many ships if they had followed the original course laid by the Amarillo Design Bureau. Awesome build, well done.

Awesome. But shouldn't it be called Sound effects Enterprise??

How many sound cards did you put into that model?🤔 awesome job well done.❤🥰🤩

@RGJubilee Thank you!! And, good question, mi amigo! There are actually two -- one from the AMT kit from the 90s E refit kit with lights and sound (which is the phasers and photon torpedoes -- and came with a metal rocker/toggle) and the other is one of those recordable sound cards that held quite a few compressed MP3 files. That one has all the music and other sounds on it. It's become my thing to add music, sound effects or both to my builds. I just think it adds a cool element to the builds and turns them into the toys (although these are merely for display) I wanted as a kid, but they never existed. Now I can just make em! :-) It's certainly an education process working in these. I had zero electronics experience prior to these builds.

@@planetpopvideos4418 great job. I’m gonna do the Jupiter 2 ,and I’m gonna get one of those big sound cards. I see you use the kit too. OK that does hold a lot of audio. Thanks for let me know that cause I’m gonna order one of those. Keep up the good work when I finish mine, I’m gonna put mine online too.🤩🌎🪐🌕🛸🚀🛸

@RGJubilee I look forward to seeing your Jupiter 2! You may already know, but the Moebius Models light kit doesn't come with all the lights you'll need if you hope to make your build more screen accurate. I ended up adding SMDs and LEDs and a third party (Fedoratron) computer wall for that. I have yet to find a light kit for anything that has everything. I ALWAYS end up having to add lights and power boost or reduce buck boards to get everything to play nice together with regard to voltage. Then there's motors and sound boards that have to be added too. :-)
