It's been a while yes? I decided to try and participate in this group build. No lighting, just a nice paint job and mount it to the stand. Hope you enjoy the video.

Looks really good. Where do you get your iridescent paints?
 
Re: The Wrath of Khan 1/1000 Reliant

Definitely looking good so far.
I don't have the patience for what you're doing there

Its taxidermy paint for fish, of all things.

I bought the blue, green,red, and gold, may pick up the violet for a side project. These are the same paints that Trekworks uses on YouTube for his 1/350 Refit.

Thank you Aaron. I thought that is what you were using. Thank you for the link, expect to see some of that in my future videos....

OK well the pearlescent was going too slow and I have 6 days to finish. So I decided to pick up the Aztec Decals from Round 2. So far these things are awesome.

I did goof up some of the decal locations but it's too late to fix it. Also The engines are mounted to the torpedo launcher. I am going to decal the inside portions then attach it to the ship.

If anybody wants to know the shad of blue I used, it's Tamiya Sky Blue mixed with Flat White.

Looking good.
I'm liking working with those aztecs as well
 
Re: The Wrath of Khan 1/1000 Reliant

Beautiful. I'd love to get one of these to complement my 1/1000 refit.
 
Absolutely gorgeous!!

I'm thinking about building this at some point for my brother. It's a shame that the Aztec decals are not included in the kit though. No matter.

One question though. How much space is available in the hull to potentially light her up?
