Return to CultTVman's Fantastic Modeling Return to Modeling Star Trek

This is straight from the box, no modifications whatsoever. Overall color is Camouflage Grey, aztec pattern hand painted (yes, hand painted!!) in Light Sea Grey. Window lit/dark  pattern is accurate to the 6 footer, within an uncalculated but acceptable margin of error. I used one of the first TNG magazines that Starlog put out for reference. One of  those early issues had an article about building the 6 footer, and among the pics were two shots of the blueprints with the windows colored in, indicating the pattern of lit/dark.  Between that and freeze framing the show, I think it's pretty damn close. The one pictured here was built several years ago and has since been sold, along with a lighted  version I custom built for someone else (long before the fiber optic kit) also done for profit. My current D uses the same Camo/Lt. Sea pattern, but has a slightly warmer tan color for the lifeboats.
