Awesome demonstration of superb multi talents Dave. I love Sci Fi and particularly Star Trek builds. Love your stuff!

That's how you do it! Nice work Dave!, and the pics are better than mine to show the light blocking. Nice piece!

Drilled out all of the windows with a pin vise and #70 drill bits It took 3 holes per window plus some filing to open them up. There were over 1500 windows, so I hand drilled over 4500 holes in about 4 weeks - all of that drilling gave me tendonitis in my wrist! Now I have the Tamiya handy drill - wish I'd known about it at the time.

Dedication to his hobby Spanjaard.
Dave, I bought the Tamiya handy drill and found it wouldn't hold the micro drill bits. Bought a Trumpeter? one and that holds everything! You seem to be a prolific builder, are you showing us stuff you have already built or retired with a passion?

With the Tamiya, I used my Dremel chucks, and that seems to work OK.
I've been retired since 2009; The builds in my build list include all of the models I've built since retirement, plus models I built as long ago as the late '70s (most of which I still have). I'm not building at the moment, because we're renovating our hobby room (still waiting for the new floor to be installed). Not being able to build is frustrating, but it's given me time to update my build history on this website.
