Ian, they're not bad little kits, the AMT line-up covers the full spectrum so you can pick your poison! Lui, I will admit that some of the decals on this thing just don't make a whole lot of sense. The nacelle decals for example are one-piece for the whole side and the instructions provide the 'HINT' that you can cut some of the larger decals apart for easier application...some hint! Steve, you have good reason to be intimidated my friend! The 'Aztec' patterns are the price to be paid for any Star Trek builds I'm afraid. Dicky, no worries in that department, I think I've hit my decal quota for the decade already!

Mence, thanks! Would love to see what you would do with one of these. Go for it! Marc, good thing he didn't say 'Engage!' while he was at it.

Just had a thought Bill. I better ask ya what's planned next so I know what to build. We were side by side in what was turning into the 109 forum and here we are in Sci-Fi. People are gonna start to talk. Although, I may be getting my fever back. it's about 107 now but my resin radiator flaps just got delivered so it up to 108 with a bullet.

I know, people might start to get ideas! After this little detour I'm definitely heading back to the relative safety of an armor build. Something with only balkenkreuze markings!

Well, 19 minutes have passed.......how far into the next couple of days are we expected to wait....... lol Just yankin' yer particle accelerator There are some things that even warp speed can't accelerate Sir Francis! Some of the decals are layered over other decals, so there's a lot of hurry-up-and-wait involved too.

Just yankin' yer particle accelerator Careful, sometimes the Higgs Boson gets inthe way And we all know what the outcome of that is like...it's even worse than when two neutrons walk into a bar and are refused service because they can't be charged.

All the work has paid off in a stunning little ship. Your description of the decals sounds as if you long for the simpler times of putting former numbers down the side of a 109

Thanks Lui! All the work has paid off in a stunning little ship. Your description of the decals sounds as if you long for the simpler times of putting former numbers down the side of a 109 That's an understatement...the 109 was a piece of cake by comparison! Now I'm REALLY looking forward to something with tracks on it!

You have once again surprised us what you can do! It is looking GREAT!!! Far better than I expected when I saw the first picture of the kit itself. Can't wait to see it done... it would be cool if you add laser beams.

Andy, all part of the education process hereabouts sir! Dicky, thank you kindly! I'll be happy to 'launch' this one off to my buddy after this weekend for sure. G, I hear you there! I did manage to talk the recipient into allowing some weathering on the finish just to keep my sanity. Marc, that's true, can't be too careful these days...they are everywhere!
