TFW your model kit is kinda bigger than your spray booth. Spent a couple of hours being hyper-aware of my angle of spray.

Not a lot of yakitori with this kit, but I am FINALLY ready to start painting.

DS9 is looking more & more like itself. As expected, even with some modifications, each pylon required yet more filling & sanding, but I'm inching my way towards the paint booth!

Starting to look like DS9 now. Last of the PE on, lower docking arms and weapons towers attached.

Now that I’ve got a black primer coat applied to the #Defiant, I can finally see all the areas I’ve missed with the milliput and where I still need to scribe some gridlines. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #3DPrinting #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Some don’t like the #Inquiry class, but I’ve always loved it and wanted a model but there was never any in 1/1400 scale, so I bought the 1/2500 one by valkyrie013 on cults3D and scaled it up as close as I could… #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #3DPrinting #MKMModelwerx

Had to scribe the panel lines on the #Defiant’s bridge section as there were none. Will probably have to do this with most of the model. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #MKMModelwerx

PE completed, another round of gap filling & sanding done. Next is to touch up some spots with CA gap filler, then do the main assembly... and deal with any gaps revealed there. Onwards!

That's the PE for the primary hull/Promenade & docking rings done! A few more to do around the core hull & power reactor assembly & docking arms, but we're getting there!

Okay, bit of a break from sandin today, in favor of making some decent progress with photo-etch. I am not good at dealing with PE, but this kit is gonna give me plenty of practice!

This week on This Old Kit: more sanding & filling, plus surface prep for PE! In 1994 this kit was labeled as "Skill Level 2." SKILL. LEVEL. TWO.

New build commencing! 1/537 Reliant. Photoetch parts from greenstrawberry, bridge replacement from Lake Monster Details. I bought a Tamiya electric drill but didn’t realize it was a kit itself, thankfully I didn’t flub the build. #StarTrekModels #ScifiMiniatures #Reliant

Not many guides for making/wiring model bases but I made this in Blender based loosely off @mkmmodelwerx.scot's very nice looking, far superior stand (ko-fi.com/s/6f81c593d8) and figured out the wiring with some trial and error - button and plug from hdamodelworx.com. #StarTrekModels #Grissom

Finally got round to sanding the milliput on the #Olympic. I’ve given it another coat of black to show up areas that need more milliput (and there are still a few). #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #3DPrinting #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
