thank you I wasn't sure that the remake would look that good with the wings up like they are. orignaly I put the wings flat and a hair under the saucer for support. this time I put them on the pylons where the nassels sit. it worked out better.

hummm not really sure, i dont sell any of my work so i dont really have a frame of reference. sometimes it can be hard to sell models unless the model is of high craftsmanship.
i dont mean to offend but you will need to get better photos. the better the pic, the easier it will be to sell. dont forget to make your self a photo booth too [link]
that being said, for pricing the base price you'll have to figure out how much it cost you. I.E the kit,paint,putty, ect then add what ever you think your time was worth.

I've been told its worth 500 but I was going to start there. since the kits alone is aprox 600 bucks. the star trek enterpise - E isn't made any more. and thus is expensive. I've been lucky enough to find a couple. alot of the trek models are going the way of the dinosaure. sucks huh. anyway each one ranges from 20 to 50 bucks per kit.

not too sure dude, i can find some very nice E kits for under $200 and some smaller scaled ones at about $30 [link] they do still make them
really i dont mean to make you mad or offend you but you will have to practice and refine our skills alot more if you wish to sell it for $500.
if i was to sell one of my tanks i would do it for $50 and i am an intermediate builder/painter.
For $500 the kit will have to light up too. just check prices on e-bay. kitbashed star ships go for around $40-100 from very experienced modelers. its a very hard market and your craftmesnship will have to be top notch in oreder to sell and get clients.

try looking for the enterprise - E kit for 1/1400 scale for under 50 bucks. and your right the kit bashed models aren't going for much. and I'm not offended. I welcome a different more experianced view. I wish I could get that for my starship deisgn work.

yea they are not cheap but you can still find a few for under $200 [link]
think you could get a nice price for your work but its gonna take years of practice. scale modeling is all about experience. i have been building for about 4 years and as you can see i am an intermediate skill. if you build for the next ten who knows how good your skill will be and could charge that much.

thus far I've found this one [link] but as of yet to prove it they sent me the enterprise D rather then E on the first sending. I got a hold of the site via phone and they said they are sending it within the next few weeks. and it was a decent price. thus far I've only built this model 2 times and other star trek models years ago all but a few of them. but since my navy days I hadn't had a chance to built. this last 2 model's I've been working on adding things like putty and better paint jobs. so I'm still pretty green. hehe

yea thats a decent price hopefully you get it. i have been burned by amazon vendors, never fun.
i have got pretty decent at painting over the years but am still learning the art of putty. lol hate filling and sanding stuff.
