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!
-
Damn, nice looking 5in!!
-
I'd say snip or sand down the posts so they don't snap-tight and test it now before you go 'all in.' But it's looking real nice!

One of them at least has a weapons rollbar on the top. Fair to assume they all do. What I also like is that he paired down the number of ships on both sides drastically. Don't have time to do an accurate count, but there are maybe only twenty or so Romulan ships with equal Federation, rather than 200 per side..!
-
Could that be from the glue poured on the inside for the weight? On the one hand, it's another little niggle from the kit, but not insurmountable. The underside can be filled and sanded and painted, and the shuttle bay door may cover up most of the top-side warping. Carry on, good sir. This bitch has not beaten you yet!! Great looking cars! Gotta say, I love the classic Optimus. So much better than the Bay-travesty!

These are just my anime ones, Macross and SBY 2199/2202. Thom

Small, fast and maneuverable, and packing a good punch. They'd be like heavy fighters.

I wouldn't call those relics. As we've seen, Starfleet has a history of holding onto designs and updating their core systems. And even then, the Sovereigns and the Defiants are still pretty 'young' ships. But at the end of the day, there is far more style in those ships than the ones they hardly put any effort into. These are the ships that I wanted to see. As for 'antique vessels,' there are two Nebula class near the front of the formation.

Damn, that needed MORE!! That fleet popping in gives me the chills, whereas the other is just meh... I would love to see a full clip of the entire encounter!

WOW! Awesome work, Photogirl! Welcome to MMW! Global would be proud to captain her. Real nice getting most of those grid lines knocked down. I was also wondering if some ghost lines still showing would add to the look. As for the cracking around the window insert - super glue! I use one with a brush applicator and go around the crack. Dries quick and not bad to sand as long as you don't wait too long. The harder it gets the harder to sand.
-
A little more filling and sanding, but she's coming along! You're just laying the groundwork for a fantastic finish.
-
Don't let the current look of it get to you. It is 'In Process' which is a normal part of any build. Some are cleaner - and some are messy as fuk! No matter how it looks now, remember the Mythbusters shining turds. Fantastic coloring on those parts!
-
Thank you! That was the Supergirl Corner, but it was a time for a change!
-
Oh, destination, definitely! The journey could be nice too. Sarcasm aside, they are little tifbits that I would really like answered. Again, if they had never mentioned the Megaroad again after DYRL I would have been content. But they say that it just vanished, well then that's like saying it flew into the Bermuda Triangle an never came out. Now I want to know!
-
Looks sharp. I like the detail in the gear wells, and they suitably deep.
-
Sometimes you have to surrender before the battle can be won. Here's to hoping you start liking it soon.

Cool, another Miria! Show more pics!
