The decals cracked the second I slid them off the backing paper. I managed to salvage the names, but the colonial emblem for the top was unsalvageable so I had to remove it. It also wouldn’t budge so I had to scrape it off showing the brass photoetch underneath. Kinda like it this way though so might keep it. # ModelBuilder

Not that you can tell because the model was already shiny, but the gloss coat has been applied. Next up is applying all 3 decals.

While I wait for the paint to dry on the G, I’ll be continuing work on number 8 on the list of “models I started last year and really need to finish”. The . I used paint masks to add some panels in a lighter shade, painted the larger recessed areas Gunmetal and painted the red stripes at the front. Still got some details to paint (might take a while).

This kit stupidly does not include decals for the docking ports, so I created them. I used the decals from the 1/350 refit kit, shrunk them down, changed the name & registry then printed them.

Not much in the way of detail painting needing done. Phaser banks painted.

Dorsal Aztec/panel paintwork completed. Before I do the blending coat, I’ve got some cleanup to do. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSKelvin #Kelvin #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

First round of masking and second colour done on the secondary hull and nacelle. I covered the saucer as I’ll be using a different method to paint that once I’m done with these parts. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSKelvin #Kelvin #Federation #Starship #1000Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Nacelles and impulse engines painted a lighter grey and masks removed. Will leave for another few days before I mask off those areas.

While I wait for the decals to set on the Delta Flyer, back to the G I go. Masked off the dark grey areas on the nacelles and impulse engines so I can paint a lighter grey.

All ventral Aztec decals have now been applied. Will leave them overnight before moving on to the dorsal decals. Really need to start thinking about a name and registry for it. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ConstitutionClass #KelvinTimeline #Federation #Starship #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
