Richard Deakins' Star Trek Models |

The adversary set was rather easy and a chance to get the two bird of prey displays (i.e. attack and cruising). The bird of prey
has a base coat of matt seaweed green with offer shades of the same colour to paint the wing feature on the top and underside. The farengi maruda is paint with one coat of matt sand with dark sand detail.

The Defiant was challenging due to the extensive paint job, it has a base coat of white with various shades of blue for hull
detail. but I overestimated the paint colour and most of the work came out as a blue/dark grey but i am still please with it because i like bold colours the can be clearly seen.

The Enterprise C was a good learning curve because if was the third Star Trek model I purchased.
Usual standard treatment with a white base coat and mainly consists of Rodins Egg Blue detailing plus darker shades. My painting skill did improve by the time I got to Yamagushi, as you can see there is a major difference is colours and painting quality.

The Enterprise D was made as a display model for my local hobbie shop, I am assuming that the owner built it and it is in bad
shape. It had no stand and it was in three pieces. One engine had come off and the saucer section had broken off. it took 3 tubes of glue to replace the saucer section and 8 hours of drying time.
The model will soon be going through an overhaul where it will be repainted a have a new set decals.

The TOS Ship where very simple for me but with one snag, my kit didn't come with a painting sheet and I had to rely on the
instructions from my 18" TOS Enterprise and the instructions from my Enterprise Incident kit and with the Romulan bird of prey, i had to search my local library to find the episode with that ship
and work off that.
