I'm rich! Rich, I tell you! MAHHAAAA!!! ;D
In the below pic, you can see I was a bit heavy handed on the dry brushing. Would liked to have done a better job with the initial hole cutting. But I'm delighted with how the colour turned out.
The ventral hull has been weathered about right I would say. I used Magic Sculp to fill the big seam line. My first time using it (can't find Aves in the UK except from ebay).
The grooves in the engine don't exactly match up. I think if I were to do this over, I would cut out all the engine and make my own. Little bit heavy on the Krystal Klear. I also used Magic Sculp here.
The Ferengi text here says, 'Power On -' and 'Power Off'. The plaque is made out of gold-pressed latinum, of course.
And that's it. Hope you enjoyed following me on this one. I learned a bit more from this, like I should have more confidence in my scratchbuilding abilities, and I should take my time more and not rush things (still working on that one).
Paint-wise, I think I'm happy with mixing paints and getting the right results I want. I need more practice with weathering, and I have something planned for my next build that should be a good excercise in painting some good old muckiness!
