Looks like you put a lot of effort into this one! While it's hard to comment on the realism of a sci-fi model, I like it as a work of art. And I love the movie too! Live long and prosper ,\V/

Thank you.  I still need to finish the bottom, pylons and the engines.  

I've seen these at my LHS, almost picked one up last time I was there...I kind of like this subject.

Yours is certainly turning out nicely!

Thank You.  I just had to make more decals to finish it, Useing these decals is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, except most of the edeges dont match, so I need to carefuley cut them to match the edge's. And I also need to cut the decals so the Battle Damage comes through.  But When I get done I think it will look good.   

Really like how the aztec pattern is coming together. Nice subtle look. Kudos!

Protector came up a treat with those aztec decals. well worth the effort. i've got one myself but have yet to even open the box.

i still want to know how they scraped the side without hitting the big nacelles on the wall.

Thank You 

OctaneOrange.  Thanks,  Yeah I dont know why there isnt any damage to that engine ether after the hull scrape  

Cool. That azteking looks really good.

Thank You Cosmic J. I'm almost finished, Hopefully the rest of the pattern will be easyer.  

You're welcome.

After Wonderfest this year, I got the urge to build something w/ either an Aztek scheme or digital camoflage, I just couldn't decide what it would be.

I still haven't figured it out, but I bookmarked this thread for when I do.

Thank You. I made up this pattern from a few decals.  The one's I have finished and tooken pictures of are from the 1/1000 th scale Enterprise, I have been useing copy's of the same 4 decals over and over, Its been a little bit of a challenge getting them to match the spots, the decals I used are 81,82,83 & 84.  The rest of the pattern I am going to use copy's of Acreation Models 1/350 the Enterprise decal's   

Here are a few new shots. I have finished the Main Hull ,Pylons and Engines. Back lookin foward  

Finished bottom

And Top

 Last shot for now. I hand scribed the scratch that Laradio made while leaving the space dock, I still need to paint it though  And now I just need to figure out the correct decales to finish the rest of the Aztec pattern.

Thank You for Looking  

Well I finily finished the Aztec pattern on my Protector.    I was taking these picrures today and after I finished I thought I would see what the reverse side of th Blue cloth I have been useing, So I fliped it to the Gray side and I liked the look of the Gray side more and I retook all my shots. Here is another stiched together picture   Starboard Aft

  These next two shots are the same angle except one is agenst the Gray and the other is agenst the Blue cloth I have been useing  

I think the Gray side looks better but I would like to know what you guys think?   Last shot for now, Ventrail

Finially got that done and Now I just need to finish the tedt of it, Paint the windows, Paint the blast marks around all the damage and a few other stuff and then attach the decals that came with the kit.

Thank You for looking

Just Finished my N.S.E.A. Protector. 

Here's a stiched together closer look at the same side, You can really see the Hull scratch that Laradio made leaving the space dock.  

And here's a couple of  shot's of the Starboard side, Battle Damage and the Hole where the Rock went through      Top with the bridge removed. Useing the kits magnets and metal file I was able to take this shot.  Bridge reattached  Underneath where most of the battle damage is  A closer look at some of the underneath damage  Last few shots from the aft looking foward      Thank You For Looking

Are you sure that's a model? Looks too good to be anything but the real thing.

Great job. Several dozen thumbs waaaaay up!

Thank You !!

Man that thing looks awsome .

Thank You!!

Looks really good. Nice subtle differences in the aztek pattern - gives a good sense of size and scale. Battle damage is fairly subtle and scale too. Well done!

Thank You
