Let's not forget decals!

I finished off an updated 1/720 USS Enterprise in November as a gift for a friend whose daughter is serving on the Big E, and had to get a lot decals custom made to reflect her 2006 appearance.

   I thought that only happened in the model railroading world!  The unwritten rule of plastic is: If you scratchbuild it, or kitbash it, they will release the kit before you have the last coat of paint on it. Whistling [:-^]
