USS Luna - Loknar Class Frigate -NEW COMPOSITES

[trekriffic]

This was my first-place prize in a contest I won over on AST. The 1/1000 scale USS Phobos, a Loknar class mark V frigate, built as the USS Luna.
I haven't built a lot of resin models but I know quality when I see it and this a great kit, no bubbles, very little flash, and incredible surface detail.
The resin is very durable too; I must've dropped the nacelles on my concrete garage floor three or four times with no observable damage occurring.
Highly recommended!

I gave her a semi-gloss finish after some light weathering. I usually like my ships to appear as though they've spent years in service to the fleet.

Nicely done, I have always liked that design. More streamlined and compact looking compared to the Constellation class.

Took a whole bunch of photos over the weekend. Here are a few of the better ones; it's hard to choose though, this ship looks great from so many angles...

That is an awesome looking ship. I like the "Been in service" look.

Thanks! I used CreateFX's acrylic black wash. You brush it on and then wipe most of it off.

Did these in MS Paint using photos taken against a backdrop of black velvet cloth...
