USS Defiant Part 1

 

[Quaralane]

Like I said over at YouTube,
Sounds like you have some good ideas for this one

 

[YOULI]

I will follow this interesting project !

 

[Solander]

I have the similar kit in my stash long time ago stocked to a status of an almost neverending shelf-queen? with the majority of the ansatisfactory matter same to your that made You stock your Defiant for some time as well.
Will be following this build with a huge interest, think it has all the chances to convince me to reboot mine

This thread has my interest as , I also have had this model languishing on the "back-burner " for years ! I dug it out quite recently and cleaned up all the dodgy seams etc which originally had me give up on it . Then it went back on the shelf , the thought of all that masking etc , was a little TOO much . Maybe this build will inspire me to have another crack at it ! :-\

Thunder...there are panel decal templates out on the web now so you don't have to do,all of that. I plan on using them so I guess we will see how it turns out.

 

[Thundergod]

Well , I'll definitely be taking interest in your progress !

 

[Grendels]

Looks like a nice project for sure. I will be watching!

Update 3

USS Defiant Part 3

 

[Grendels]

I did a putty comparison a while back and pretty much came to the same conclusion you did. That the Bondo putty was the best.

Keep at this difficult kit, I am sure you will get her done.

 

[biomedchad]

well shes almost done..wont win any awards but she will look good on the shelf!!
USS Defiant Part 4

 

[Grendels]

Prooving the kit is more than just trash can lining!
