Yes. Those two ships would need to be extremely weathered to the point of near total destruction I'd say. :'(

Anyway, on with the show...

Spent Saturday working on the starboard nacelle and the other half of the secondary hull. Spent about 4 hours on it then had to break off early for dinner and cards at the in-laws.

Sunday was spent on the port nacelle and the pylons...

Firstly I applied soot to the grooves behind the bussard collar:

Then I removed most of it rubbing with a rag:

So what you see here took me about 9 hours to complete. I could have bought the weathering decals and spent about 5-6 ous applying them but I think the extra time it took to weather using pastels gave the ship a more subtle weathered look than the decals would have; pardon me for saying this, those of you who went the decal route, but, to me, the decals just looked to stark for my taste. 

I'll go back tomorrow with the gel ink pen and accentuate certain streaks on the rest of the ship the way I did on the saucer.

Then I have to attach the deflector dish assembly, and all the colored dome lights to the upper saucer flashers and the bussard collar tops. And the wee "nipple" to the lower sensor dome of course.

I also need to see about ordering vinyl masks for the ship's registry and pennants.

Stay tuned!
