I was finally able to get to the BoP this Sunday. I sprayed Future and then started to apply the AM decals. The decals are terrible. As soon as I tried to slide them off, they just came apart.
I'm going to have to contact Federation Models tomorrow and see what they are willing to do about it. I had my suspicions as they were yellowed.

Well I finally received the new decals, I was beginning to think I wasted my money on them again as they took so long to get. I applied them and will start the weathering tomorrow night. It seem everything is working fine after all this time.

Here is tonight's weathering. I am still completing the base and battery switch compartment, but should be complete tomorrow night.
So here is what I have tonight.

Thanks Brandon. The decals came from JT Graphics. I think he is the only manufacturing source for AM BoP decals. He is a little slow but less expensive that the middle man, who gets them from him anyway. The decals were very thin and delicate but seem to have gone on without too much difficulty.

hey MC you seem to build like i do, all over the subjects, starting and returning to in progress works. i'm doing that in prep for a week holiday and the day after returning a local.contest. maybe i'll get more rational after that. Nope, doubt it. BTW i don't have a romulan font but still have my two klingon fonts.

Yeah, I'm all over the place right now. Just finished the BoP for the Star Trek GB, working on a T-72 for the Gulf War GB, working on the Karl Morser for your GB, and a Fokker Dr1 for the Aces GB.
