Really like that maintenance display, and that you've kept the parts in such a way to have it all as one when needed. It's looking really good from here! Like the subtle patterns on it. And as @David Hingtgen stated, the SDs always looked pretty white and clean.

Very cool! Welcome back, guys! Now who's next? -
Love Coccon. And the sequel. RIP, good sir.
-
True Lies, probably the last great Schwarzenegger movie.
-
Nice and very effective!
-
It's surprising how many one can accrue over time - and still think one does not have enough... Don't fall over too fast though, as you've probably completed for more than I have in stock.

Tell him he did a wonderful job!
-
YES!!
-
Nice work on the stretch.
-
Really wish they'd used the Raven as the base design. That has some volume.

Wow, I'm looking at that and wondering if it is even the same toy?! Great job.

Hey, a shining character is built, not born! And considering the silk purse you made out of that Connie, I will wait anxiously for you to crack open those Macross models! Ooh, that's looking great! Love that tan-tone. I think she looks great! You don't want to get too close to some of my models too... But I like the look of her.

Yes, O'Brien was weird and Firefly was just all-around great. They would show the bars as being 'good' at least to a few. But still, overall, they are still decried in most stories as yucky... Thinking about it, it's possible the ration bar is made to be only partially palatable so that people save them for last, but I think when I introduce a ration bar in my story, it's going to be delicious!
-
Its like ration bars. No matter what, book or show, the ration bar is always disgusting and barely palatable. I would love to read or see a show where the beleaguered ration bar is treated like a delicacy.
-
Way to persevere! You know, building any model is really a test of character, and I'd say yours is shining!
-
Oh man, I would love for those to be kitted! Definitely want!
-
Your new build looks sooo good! So what if the gray is the wrong shade?! Most people are not going to hold your model up beside the TV to compare it to a still shot from one of the movies. They'll do what the rest of us are doing, oohing and aahing!
-
Sure, there are a few spots here and there you can groan about, (You should see some joins on my 1/72 Dragon P-61...) but overall she is looking really good! Considering what you started with and the hiccups along the way, I'd be proud to put it on my shelf! I will add to what @wm cheng said, and maybe hit it with a clear coat before remasking, if you do redo the gray. Just give it another layer to grab onto above the existing decals. That is a fantastic looking 'pit, and nice on the pull handles!
-
I liked season two, except for a few stupid moments (such as Pike being berated by Bernham - or Pike saying the Discovery crew was his family rather than the Enterprise crew...) I'm intrigued by the story line, and though I still think Discovery's design is uninspiring and bland (hoping it will get a future refit), I do hope they keep the AI that was introduced in the Trek Shorts.
-
I think the only time we ever saw actual fighters from Starfleet was in regards to DS9 and the Dominion War, after we were introduced to Bajor and the Maquis. So I like to think that it is a design adopted by Starfleet and pressed into service.
-
The SuperBug looks great in those colors!
-
Nice, decals settling in!
-
Yes. The Academy also had the trainer.

Thin pin-striping tape or Tamiya tape for curves comes in real handy, as well as a circle cutter. For what's 'done is done,' you could try some thinner on a paint brush and just try to rub the excess off. Or, conversely, if you have a steady hand you could try and paint over it.
-
Great part about that one was that two came in the box!
