USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Sci-Fi)
Well, after what seems like an eternity, I've pretty much wrapped up this piece of crap.
I can honestly say this kit is easily among the top 5 worst kits I've ever worked on. Nothing fit correctly, both the kit parts, and the decals.
When I got around to the decals, they were very thick, but very brittle, which made it doubly difficult to get them to go down, but I used really warm water, and a lot of Solvaset, which helped a lot.
Kit was base coated w/ Model Master Neutral Grey, and then I hand brushed like 4 coats of Future on it so the decals would slide down a bit easier.
Fitment of the decals was terrible. I was able to work around it w/o a whole lot of trouble, but its most noticeable on the bottom of the saucer. The windows dont align w/ the openings in the hull, and its pretty obvious in a couple places, and then along the upper part of the engineering hull the fit was really bad.
Across the top of the saucer, its 11 separate decals, under the saucers its 13 decals. I think there are 15 decals on each nacelle.
The paint on the nacelles, impulse engines and the deflector dish are a mix of Model Masters & Vallejo paints, depending on what I had available.
I still have a dull coat to put down, but that will wait till at least this weekend, but I'm pretty much calling this turd finished.
This is very much a 10 footer. Only thing is its not that it looks good from 10' away, it only looks good under 10' of concrete...
