All right people, this is what we do. We're the best. So let's get the old girl ready to roll and kick some Cylon ass! — Chief Tyrol  [Nice execution!]

Hi all,

For those of you who have followed this build thank you.  I hope you all got something out of it.  I sure learned a lot doing this project that should make my next project even better.   Sorry for the long delay in posting these shots.  I don't know where my head was. 

I took several photos of this project using lighting from different angles.  This model is very tempermental about the direction of the light.  I took several shots with just the side lights of my photo box on.  Even that may have been too much.  I also did a few with all of the lights on.  I think too much light washed out a lot of the weathering and even brought the lighter grays out of the paint job.  Those photos show up at the end.  And yes, I know that the antena on the nose is missing.  I can't find the part.  But when I do I'll paint it up and put it on.

I also found that I am not actually done with this model yet.  I forgot to paint the red stripes on the bottom hull.  Doh! So, I'll have to go back and paint those things.  Additionally, the stand is intentionally unpainted.  I have a larger diorama in mind that includes a few ships and lighting.  So, the stand you see is just temporary for display purposes only.  Finally, if there is an angle that you would like to see let me know.  Otherwise enjoy. :)

The last shot above was suppose to be a runway shot but as you can see even with a dull coat on the deck and a circular polarizer on the camera lense you just can't get away from the glare. 

All of photo box lights are on and the ship's lights are off.  What a difference in color.  The photos above are closer to the colors seen by the naked eye.
