ISS Enterprise Polar Lights 1/1000

[YOULI]

Here is my Polar lights 1/1000 NX-01 ISS Enterprise. After doing the USS Columbia, I needed to do a much more elaborate paint job on that marvellous kit. So it was done with various mix of metallic paint, copper, aluminum, even steel, with Prince August paints (Vallejo). After that, using a Gundam Marker, i've done all the aztec paneling quite rapidly.

The Decals are the after market one...

Nice work on this.
Your hull banners, unlike mine, are properly aligned

An easy task, really. The windows are painted with white pencil BTW

True, but it's one I botched on mine.

 

[YOULI]

Wow ! What happened ? :-\

I see the problem, and why it's that way but besides a bad printing, can't explain this kind of disalignement. What after market decal did you used ?

 

[Quaralane]

The pennants weren't part of the aztecs.
They were separate decals, and I placed the one badly.

OK. And it's difficult to remove it now, unless you ruined the Aztec panels and all... Sorry to hear about that. Well, it's the perfect opprotunity to do another one, isn't it ?

Here are some projects I was on (can't do it now, the Kits are far from me, in a stash far from home). A "reliant-like" NX-01 and a "Stargazer-like" 4 warp engines NX-01 and obviously the partly destroyed one from Season 3 of Enterprise.

I took some sreencaps on the web, draw some details on the instruction paper, but hesitate on doing it on the 1/1000 scale or the 1/350 scale (I've got one complete, another one incomplete found on Ebay with not less than 4 warp engines). The big one could be detailed as hell, with lights and all, but the little one sould proove to be easy and a quick process (it's tempting, I love when a model kit seems to grow just under your nose).



And then here are the other projects, those pictures were done to intriguate some of my friends and gather some intelligence about what to do next...

Quad's an interesting idea, Youli.

And a very simple one too. I like the modular idea of this ships... It's even simplier without a secondary hull.
