Beautiful shot man, ending 2014 with a bang.
Can't wait to see what you'll do do with the large scale kits.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year my brutha.

I'm scared of starting this one, the paint scheme, with the aztec pattern, and the unholy bloody pearlescent paints!
Not to mention, the lighting. AAAARRRGGGGLLLLL!
IT will be GLORIOUS!!
Keep on Trekking!Β
Robert.

Hey man!
I saw a great page somewhere about the original airbrush artist
that Robert Wise hired to do the paintwork on the refit Enterprise
from STTMP. Can't remember exactly where but it was fascinating!
Cleared up a lot of the mojo from the incredible paint job on that epic
model. Might have been a link on the starship modeler site.
I'll look around and see if I can find it again.
Courage men, onward!

He's putting out a book, and you're right, it's "somewhere". He's trying to crowdfund a restoration of the original paint job on the refit model, and a bunch of vfx tech guys want to film a bunch of scenes of her, shooting around the galaxy!
I will try to find the link as well.
Thanks
Robert.

Sorry about the vagaries.
Thats what happens when I try to think at four in the morning.
I should have known you'd be all over it.
Β Merry Christmas my friend.

A friendly tip. Don't buy the polar lights kit. It's better to customize your own. It's a lot cheaper and the ship will look better with the custom circuitry
