    Living in TX I can attest to the accuracy of this. It's over 100 degrees now in my garage where I paint BEFORE you put hot cars in it......NOPE. My KINGDOM to have a house with a dedicated back room that I can have a professional ventilation system to outside in so I can paint indoors. My build progress would increase exponentially!

    I absolutely can't wait for @tekering or @cool8or to get a hold of this and knock it out of the park!

    @wm cheng - Thank you! High praise from a master! You know, I didn't. I had a half can of Tamiya Semi-Gloss left over from Bandai's Buzz Lightyear model years back. I hit it with that and called it a day. It looks fine to me. I didn't risk putting down something that I didn't like. Going to work on TOS Enterprise next and finish up my sub models and get busy on my Hasegawa Regult! Plenty of days off coming up so there will be lots of updates!

    NCC-1701-A reporting in and ready for action! This is the 1/1000 Round Two kit with the full Aztecs set. Pretty pleased with how this one came out. Went over the entire thing with multiple thinned down coats of the base color to tone down the colors and decals. Yes, I know some of the accent colors aren't EXACTLY what is on the studio model but guess what, it's my model and I like it the way it is. Enjoy the pics! Also got a label maker so I can label my subs as I finish them.

    @wm cheng - Now see----that's why I like you, I had the EXACT same thought about doing some kind of semi-gloss or pearlescent white or clear over the whole thing to kind of mimic what it looked like in TMP. I've NEVER experimented with pearl coats and I don't want to ruin the model at this point.... Anybody got any suggestions???....

    @wm cheng Your Galactica is coming along GREAT! Yes, I know the nacelle blue is a bit bright, it's the only blue acrylic I had that I could paint by hand and just get it done. I'm going to tone down the ENTIRE ship with a few light misty coats of the hull color, Vallejo white grey. That along with some light misty coats of Tamiya Smoke usually gives things a pretty realistic look. I did the exact same thing on the Reliant and it turned out good. I've decided NOT to do any battle damage on this Enterprise, I want a pristine new look on this one! Side note - I'm SO DONE with aztecs on starships for a GOOD LOOOONG TIME. I couldn't imagine taking on the 1/350 version. Just too daunting. The TOS 1/1000 didn't have aztecs and neither does Voyager, so those two will just be painted! THANK GOD.

    I've still got like two gallon ziplock bags full of Yetistand parts and pieces and adaptors. I should really go through them all at some point and get some more of my Valks on display with them! ROOM to do it is the problem!

    Great looking custom!

    Definitely want Max, I'll wait for BBTS to put him up. Maybe I can ship him with Dana 12 1/2 years from now when they both get made...
  17. derex3592
    Congratulations! It IS a GREAT looking Valk!

    @Seto Kaiba - Question -- Before I start watching Season 1 of this, which I'm very excited to do, do I need to know anything about what happened in Disco when the Enterprise crew was on that show? Because I could NOT watch Disco...I tried... I guess I'm asking where in time line does SNW take place?

    Such a great color scheme. One of if not my all time favorite from Yamato!

    @Goodman Models - Got the canopies today in the mail! They look great!!! Thank you SO MUCH! Now I really don't have a reason to put off finishing the Cat's Eye at some point!
  22. derex3592
    Riiiiiiiggghhht..... Well anyways... I'm getting there.... slowly but surely. I really wanted to give the "A" some love. No one ever does it. So maybe I won't battle damage it... Or I guess I could and say it's from Undiscovered Country??? 🤔.......

    Wife found this on an end cap display over the weekend at Tuesday Morning in Arlington ....$9.99!!! She said they had a bunch more for that price but she didn't know who I had or didn't other than 3PO. I'm going back today! Good wife!

    @wm cheng - Ahhhh...memoires! Yeh, that kit needed a LOT of TLC to look good. Yours is coming along great! Can't wait to see the final outcome! I remember those Acreation aztecs that were NOT pre-cut...hahaha! Good Times! I myself am in decal HELL once again with the Refit Enterprise - All saucer and main engineering hull aztecs done, just the engines left which I fear most..LOL. Round Two makes GREAT decals....until they don't. Take this morning for example, starting to put on the "hull color plating" decals that came with the kit and some other more "fun stuff" Registry, etc, etc...the damn decals that go around the rim of the saucer ALL came off the backing paper in pieces almost like they had been cut somehow by accident during the manufacturing process. I got through it, but dang, that was waaaay more stressful than it should have been! Can't remember if the Reliant's did that or not.. Pressing on! Pics later tonight or tomorrow AM.
