Decided to give some attention to this printed beauty that MEATLOAFr over on AST sent me recently.
I've always wanted a model of this ship from the first time I saw it on STTNG...

This is in 1-5000 scale. A massive piece of solid plastic...

A little cleanup to do, this plastic is very hard. Rather than try to sand out the shallower ridges left from the printing process, I will probably just level out them and any deeper gouges with some Tamiya polyester putty before sanding with my new electric sander tool from Micro Mark. I will also cover some areas with pieces of thin styrene sheet. So expect to see some panels forming on the surfaces.
I could also use AVES epoxy putty where I expect to see wear.
Stay tuned!
