Modifications to AMT/Ertl Enterprise-E model kit to build CGX
design.
Primary hull:
- Removed outer edge of the primary hull
- outermost section with raised paneling on top part.
- everything outboard of the phaser strip on bottom part, moved
phaser strip location.
- Removed entire existing shuttlebay area.
- Scribed new reaction control thrusters (same shape as the old ones). It
would probably be easier to cut out the old ones and splice them into
the new positions, but I threw mine out by accident.
- Replaced impulse engines with scratchbuilt styrene impulse engine
enclosures.
Remove unshaded portion, keep shaded area on primary hull top. Remove
similar outer region for primary hull bottom.
Secondary hull:
- Removed everything above the horizontal primary/secondary hull mating
plane.
- Removed aft section of secondary hull, replaced with shorter styrene
assembly.
- Reshaped undercut area.
- scratchbuilt new shuttlebay and warp engine pylons and added them to the
top of the secondary hull.
- Secondary hull was mated to primary hull approximately 1/2" aftward of
how it's mated on a Sovereign.
Remove unshaded area, keep shaded portion.
Add new shuttlebay and stern section fabricated from sheet
styrene.
Warp nacelles:
- Master part was completely scratchbuilt out of sheet styrene. Parts used
on model are resin copies.
