This build was done alongside the 1/5000 scale Husnock ship from the STTNG episode, "The Survivors."
Both were 3D resin prints I got from MeatloafR over on AST.

This print has some very nice details and required very little cleanup before I primed and painted the model.
After that I applied the wallpaper aztec decals to the hull followed by ship registry and white window decals (the aztec aleady included the black windows).
MeatloafR also printed the water slide decals for me.

At some point I will use this and the Husnock warship in a diorama depicting a space face-off seen in the episode ...

This is my 1/2500 scale D by AMT with Acreation wallpaper decals. I have it out for reference when I start decaling the smaller model:

Ventral transporter pads and escape pod hatches on the lower secondary hull were in the wrong positions so I used a dental chisel to remove them.
After futher sanding the hull will be repainted with Duck Egg Blue before application of decals:
