Upgraded with Round2/AMT Aztec decals set.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh nice work!!! I was wondering you painted all the aztek detailing, the decals look great!

Thanks.The decal set is extremely tedious and extensive.It took me two weeks to place them all.They would show up better on a lighter base color,but I wanted a very subtle effect as seen in the movie.

Another awesome build, TD.

I see you had to "do your own dirty work." Looks great!
Thank you.There is much room for improvement.
That is one sharp Reliant, nice work!!

Thank you.I wish I had the talent to light it up.That's still on the bucket list.
Very nice work! We were just watching that movie again this past weekend. The ship's design is complex and you built it and finished it wonderfully.
Regards,

Build what you like; like what you build.
Well Don!
Love the aztecing but also the slight sheen, you see it nicely in the first underside photo.
Just like the movie finish.

Thanks guys.The sheen is just luck.I did shoot for the subtle movie look for the aztecing by using a light grey base color.
As far as I'm concerned, the Enterprise refit and this ship are the two most beautiful designs in the Trek universe. Elegant, yet functional lines. Great looking build you have there. Nicely done.
"Some say the alien didn't die in the crash. It survived and drank whiskey and played poker with the locals 'til the Texas Rangers caught wind of it and shot it dead."
Thank you.The Enterprise refit is tough to beat.I have have to agree with you on that.
Very nice
Thanks.I picked up two more Trek kits today.The Polar Lights 1/1000 Refit and AMT 1/1000 Enterprise B.
TD,
Very nice job! Makes me want want to pull out my old kit and get to work. All though I'm currently in the Star Wars mode right now.

I hear you.I binged on subs last year.Took me a while to get to that.This year looks like it's going to be sci-fi.I have plenty of SW kits in the stash.
Aztecing (or Aztec’ing) — A decorative treatment to complex geometric pattern exhibiting simple self-similarity in that small details of its structure viewed at rough scale repeat elements of the pattern.
Aztec has patterns produced by low-complex pseudo-fractals. The purpose of the digitized repeated design, viewed if the light hit the model at an oblique angle, is to match the visual texture of typical manufactured panels.

That's certainly how Reliant and Enterprise appeared in the movies.
Thanks.Still MUCH room for improvement.
sweet ship.
Thanks.
Beautiful build. I have that ship in my pile waiting to be done.
But I did do my own kit-bash Reliant in TOS style.
Well built and nicely photoed.
