USS Voyager:
That's the very first Voyager kit available after the shows successful launch. I mention it, because it had no live boat decals, no tiny square decals or what ever additional decals came later to the kits benefit. Just the usual decals: Registry number, Starfleet arrowhead, the transporter emitters and some red stripes. Any thing in addition you can see on the picture was done by hand! Again I used the same base color as on the classic Enterprise. That's because I thought of today's Navy, those ships always come with the same grey right? So back then I assumed it to be logical to paint all my Starfleet Vessels with the same base color. But again I faced the same dilemma as with the Ent-D: no real good picture was available. Only the one good picture that can be found in "the Art of Star Trek" and a "big" cardboard stand up at a locale sales shop, that's all I had. Turning on that eagle's eye of mine again, I painted on the hull what could be seen. The "Aztec", if you want to call it that, is based on what I believe can bee seen on those two pictures. Overall I'm very happy with here and before the Ent-A she was the most detailed model I had ever done (She is going to be posted too, so have a look for it if you like).
