Timeslip's 1/1000 USS Phobos

[nicholassagan]

So RIGHT on the heels of my Mon Cal I started this guy. It's by far my favorite FASA design and is like the sleek convertible of TMP-era configurations...I love it. Anyway, it's a quick build (11 parts). There's a bit of seam sanding and filling but overall everything goes together really smoothly. There are even toothpicks embedded in the pylons for strength!! As of this moment the last coat of primer and clear coat on the base are drying.

Looks like some minor flaws, but should clean up very nicely, Looking forward to seeing how this one finishes up

Looking good so far. Nice kit, should be a fun build. ;D

 

[Grendels]

A nice design to this kit, and your photos show what is wrong with resin, cleaning up the mold marks and voids.

FASA had some very good designs, and a few odd ones if I recall! This is definately one of their best!

Very awesome build Nick. Looking forward to this! 8)

Here's more then! I got the primer, base coat, detail painting and the beginning decal process...

Clear stand

Base Coat of pearl white

Masking for painting

Shiny deflectors

Shiny crystals

Shiny torpedos

Aztek begins!

Did I mention how much I hate decaling the red stripe wrap on the bridge??

 

[Quaralane]

Coming together very nicely.
Good luck with the aztecs

 

[Grendels]

[nicholassagan]

More decal progress...

 

[Grendels]

The decals really help the ship look good!

 

[Quaralane]

Those aztecs really sell it. They come with the ship?

 

[nicholassagan]

Nope...I'm using extras from a couple the Polar Lights 1k Refit kit. There are some incredible decals with the kit...registries and stripes, etc...

And, gee, I have the spares from the ones I didn't use in last year's contest build.
