So while I patiently await Gary's release of the TOS Enterprise color guide, I have put it on the back burner and started on the 2009 Enterprise. I HATED this ship the first time I saw it, but I've come to appreciate certain things about it, even if I'm still not 100% in love with it. From some...

Got the saucer grids filled (omg, never again), and all the outer hull primed. I wanted to start off by focusing on the ship's interior. I printed the ship's decks onto backlight film and the bridge control panels and monitors onto slide film. The effect is really nice.

I swore my next model build would not be Star Wars themed because my last 4 have been...heh. Was gonna do some Iron Man or Trek. But J.J. dropped that teaser and I got the Falcon bug. This is going to be an out of box build, except for the modification to the dish and paint job to make it the...

This was a fun build.
