Well she is finally finished.  I entered her at WF this year even  though she was not finished but here are some pictures to enjoy...  It's a fun easy kit and now they have panel decals available for her...

Wow she looks sharp!

I assume she's all resin? And at 1/1200 scale about how big is the model? I've heard some confusion that the ships in the Abramverse being much larger than the ones in the standard Trek setting.

She is all resin and about the same size as the 1/1000 scale ships.  This will be about how big the JJprise will be in 1/2500th scale.  She is supposed to be a big ship... After all it has a brewery in it...

Your model looks fantastic, very well done. This was the only ship in the movie that I liked in the least but I really like it's design. It looks like it would fit into the movie era just fine. Once again sweet build!

Maybe they should be renamed the Sam Adams class. LOL

Check out Federation Models, Starcraft released a ton of kits in this same family and you can buy paneled decals to finish them including this one.  I picked up a few at WonderFest.  The do look pretty sweet and would probably tanslate into the Refit era well...
