I wish we could get the younger generation more interested in model building. They have no idea how much fun it is. What a great way to pass the time.

Voyager in black is badass

WoW!! My husband has been building a Voyager for me of course with lights. I can't wait to show him what you gave done.

12 minutes in and I was amazed how cool it looks in black! If it were me I'd make a Section 7 black version just for giggles

Agghhhh, stuck at work, you drop a new video and my break is 30 minutes away, this will be the longest 30 minutes of my life.

Great video, so many details and patience

Thank you so much for your in-depth videos! Your videos are so comprehensive and approachable that you've given me the confidence to try my hand at model-building for the first time since a disastrous first attempt when I was a young child! As someone that is entirely new to this, I especially appreciate your attention to detail and willingness to explain your choices and methods, it is like a private lesson and tutorial. I recently completed my own USS Voyager and considering it is my first model, I am very pleased with it. Your videos certainly helped me to tackle this project (if I had done this entirely on my own, I imagine it would have looked like a real mess!). Thank you so much, and I can't wait to dive into some more models!

Thank you for showing your airbrushing!

Didn't think I'd appreciate a studio model as opposed to screen versions - but that is brilliant! The idea of having a side by side with a fully screen lit version is great.

This model gives me so many great memories of my build..

I love the USS Voyager NCC-74656 model kit.

Really nice job! You've become one of my short list "go-to" scale modeling KZfaqrs for tips/tricks.

I can see many people watching this video as prime refernece for this build for the future. Really great!

I recently resin 3d printed a voyager model I made in blender, and was looking for videos on how to paint it. I think you did an excellent job, and it should be a good reference for my project! Thanks for the video!

Wow Black voyager! Wow

Beautifully done. This video is sure to inspire many viewers to build their own models and detail them.

I love how you've noticed details that most people just don't! Fantastic job mate 🙏😊👍

EXCELLENT build and finishes. Your brush work in the video is so impressive ! Best wishes !

Beautiful completion. Your attention yo detail brings that build to top level! I have built A LOT of starships throughout my life. You have a gift!

Thats by far the best looking build model what i ever saw. Astonishing your work, in german we call it "penibel"

Beautiful job with this kit. It's a kit I will be building in 2023. Appreciate this video with all of the good info you've provided. Its better looking than the old Monogram model. I did lots of modifications to that one back in the day adding missing details. Also liked the copper you painted on the warp nacelles. You don't see many paint them in the off mode.

Thats the thing thats annoyed me about the lockdowns: I still worked and increased hours covering furloughed staff. Still am to a degree. It means I didn't have time to indulge my hobbies, model making included, while everyone around me got to do projects, hobbies and so forth. The results of the last 20 months have affected people differently in a multitude of ways. I miss my hobbies.

This is not the typical Voyager kit! 🤨 I shall b looking out for this one..... Great video

Wonderful paint job.

Voyager and the NX Enterprise were always the sexiest ships

I had around year 2000 the a bigger model from "Revell" in grey plastics ... You pained it nicer than I as child ~20 years ago

Wow, I didn't realize the Defiant was so large until I saw it next to the other ships at the end. I literally held my breath as you cut into the name registry decal to help the decal solution soften them into the contours of the panel lines more. Excellent work.

Great Moves, Keep it Up!

This looks so good, absolutely amazing, I'm really impressed and enjoyed this whole video, I'd love to see a TV accurate one with the blues and reds.

Not usually my type of video but this was genuinely cool to watch and relaxing. great job!

thank you SO MUCH for this video. I almost bought the kit today but didn't realize how much work was involved. My hands are super shaky and I could never have made this look as good as you did. You're very talented! Beautiful result.

Fantastic work - this is the best looking Voyager build on the web!

looks great I love using paint instead of decals

Thank you for your techniques. I'm going to use your techniques most definitely. You are a true artist.

I started watching you about a year and a half ago. I got into modeling because of you. I want to thank you for that. So far I’ve built the following: 1:1000: -Original enterprise -Refit with battle damage -Enterprise A -Defiant 1:1400: -Enterprise D -Enterprise C -Enterprise E -Enterprise B -1:350 enterprise A (Bought another to assemble in the future as the refit. Took 2 months to build the A) -Romulan Warbird (not sure of scale) -The 2500 scale “All the enterprises” was the video I watched that you did that started it all -1:537 enterprise refit -Burton/Michael Keaton Batmobile And I am wrapping up a 1:48 AMT Airwolf model. Will be done with it tomorrow. Kits I have sitting in boxes and pissing off my wife ready to build next: -1:350 Klingon bird of pray -Klingon V’orcha class -Klingon battle cruiser Undiscovered country -Kardassian galore class 1:750 -1:1000 Reliant -1:1400 enterprise D with resin “All good things” enterprise conversion kit -Another 1:350 enterprise refit kit -And the “Build the enterprise D” from eagle moss. Up to issue 34. They cut me off after that for the last 2 months saying everything is back ordered. I know you aren’t a fan of the way this ship looks because I saw your comment the one time. Lol. The reason for this long list is to show you what you have done for me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have started this awesome hobby which has helped me deal with things in life. So keep on doing it my brother.

Fantastic build!

I always loved Voyagers design, she’s a beut.

Stunning transformation from boxed kit to finished model. Nice work!

What a phenomenal build and guide! Just discovered your work and I’m looking forward to working on my Voyager kit. Plus, it’s just so relaxing watching your videos!

The model looked really good in the black undercoat.

Fantastic job sir, very well done. I built the original Voyager model back in the 90's (it was quite large) and I'm getting back into the hobby. Your video was extremely well done and I'll be checking out your channel for hints and tips and techniques as I do my builds. Much appreciated!

Glad to see a new build, looks great!

Very impressive video! When I first saw the video's 'thumbnail', I thought that you were building the BANDAI MODEL of the USS VOYAGER.

Love the music Sam, glad you brought it back. Stay safe!!

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

Just ordered mine, this is a great tutorial. Thanks for pointing out the errors, I would have blindly walked into that mess.

Another excellent build. Well done Chili. I love the long builds.

Really inspired by your work! Continue doing those great videos!

Very enjoyable build. Thanks so much for sharing your process!

Great work! Your detail work with the fine-tip paint brush is particularly nice.

You are so talented. Love you eye for detail and steady hand!

I just watched this whole damned thing and now I have to go to work when all I want to do is to climb into bed. THANKS!!!!! And... good job!!!!

Good work! That's a very nice build. And thanks for the info on decal placement. 👍 That will come in very handy if I ever get my hands on one of those kits. 😁

Bro wow! That’s incredible.

Looks great! Nice job! Keep up the great work

Good work mate 😊👍 I enjoyed your video 😊🖖😊👍

Nice Job when I first saw it I thought it was the Bandi Pre-Painted Voyager

Fine point sharpies work really well for windows.

Very nice. So detail. Love to watching...

Really relaxing greetings

Looks great mate, thanks. Take care over there

Hello Model chili scale models that's amazing so cool this starship voyager. Nice work on a federation starship. I like this USS voyager model. 💔💘❤️⭐🌟🌠✨💟

Great job. It looks excellent

I really enjoyed the video! Looks amazing to me!

I started out watching you build Star Wars figures now watching you build different star ships and more realistic ships like the air craft carrier is very inspiring. Not to mention fun to watch. I'd love to see what you can do with the new mandalorian model kits. Like the Razor Crest .

Gonna use some of your methods when building mine! Can't wait to see the video

You must be good at lego cause you’re the only person I’ve ever seen who can get those damned stickers straight

Brilliant video you gave me some handy tips as I have started this kit thanks

Wow, great work. Now cut it open, put holes in a few windows, put a light in it so it glows from several spots. That would surely look cool.

Can we all stop for a moment and APPRECIATE how steady his hand is when he's painting with a brush! (Oh how I miss that!)

Awesomly done, Sir! I really really like your work and craftmanship! Watching the Video I got some Teenage Flashbacks when I bought the kit from Revell in the late 90s. I just wanted the ship and had absolutly no Idea how to do it xD Wish we had your videos at that time! ^^ But now I am motivated to get work on the Polylights Enterprise Refit 1:350 … really looking forward to it! Thanks for your work and joy! Live Long and Prosper! 🖖🏽

Awesome build man!🖖

I would llike to see a model with working lights, that would be cool.

I just wish they released a larger version than the one released 20 years ago.

You seem to be a good man. Your parents must indeed be good people.

Hoped you’d post something soon and saw your post on Instagram! This model is amazing and you’ve more than done it justice.

Just discovered your channel and really enjoying your stuff but see you haven't uploaded in a while, hope to see more from you sometime

If I had your time, I would have taken fiber optics and made the windows with lights, the propulsion nacelles and the bridge shine. Maybe do that in the next video ;) good build your model :)

Very nice. I like the bigger models though.

Nice Work! I love The 1/1000 Scale ! I recommend using A 0.5 Mechanical Pencil led To add depth To the Lines on the deck plates .

I like watching the sprew cutting and assembly process. I LOVE the building part the most out of model building, not really a fan of painting it afterwards though lol.

Nice job friend ;) can't say much to the plactic color from the maker, but you did good 😅

Nice job and light up the next one. I need a 350 scale. Stacking tso ent, refit, nx1, klingon.

I might pick one of these up. I lit a Revell Voyager but at this scale it'd go better on display with my Enterprise D and kitbashed Nebula models.

I've been hoping that Round 2 would issue this kit. Currently working on the 1/1000 U.S.S. Reliant which will round out just about all the movie models in that scale. Just a little disappointing that they never issued the Enterprise E in 1/1000 scale. It's good that you and other builders do videos of your builds. Sometimes the instructions with some kits are not exactly clear on where things have to go. The videos sure help other builders that might get stumped on something and trust me, I have ran into a few on several builds.

Great video, and fantastic work on the model. It's a shame you ran into those problems with the window decals...it seems Polar Lights is still having trouble in this respect; at least they've seemingly solved the "dissolving decals" problems they were plagued with a few years ago.

Fantastic build, thank you for posting. I had ordered this kit already and was looking around for some tips on putting it together-very grateful for the in depth video! Do you have the specific paints/washes listed separately somewhere?

Just started working on this kit (the non-clear version) and it has been nothing short of enjoyment! Still debating whether to use the landing legs for a diorama or keep it "in flight."

Quality build sir, I thought voyager was duck egg blue in colour.

looks great! hoping to start on some Trek models soon, I was going to go with the bigger revell kit for voyager but I might go with this instead. Can I ask what needle size and pressure you use for spraying the Vallejo paint?

It would be interesting to see how this looks compared to the 1/1000 Space Battleship Yamato 2199 kits (you built the Andromeda from that series a couple of years back).... you probably already know that Bandai has released pretty much all the ships from the anime that are still sensible in 1/1000 (i.e. not the big villain endboss ships, but all the cruisers and destroyers and whatnot), and some of the smaller ones would make for nice quick builds. :)

UUS Voyager NCC- 74656 Starships Fleet my come Real 🤔🤔🤔💫 The only to coronation Mars 👍👍🇺🇸

Space Spoon!

Love this! This is my first time watching. Been wanting to get a kit like this. Out of all the trek 1:1000 scale kits, which do you think is the easiest for a beginner? Would the Defiant be better because it's smaller?

My kit is molded in Grey plastic. It does come with some clear parts.

god i love voyager have the whole show on DVD, i should go watch it again soon Also the starship voyager is gorgeous and your model is a small work of art im trying to get my father into modelbuilding again (he used to build so many cool things) so i send him videos like these to get him into the mood once more :D

Very nice light Aztecking in your paintjob ! it's really missing on the Eaglemoss XL version. the ship looks away too flat on their model

Hi. Awesome job! I'm using it as a guide to paint my Voyager. What is the dark grey paint you use to paint the diamond shaped part on the front. (15m50s). Says Revell 374 but I can't buy Revell 374 in NZ, Vallejo equivalent I bought is too light. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
