    If I can remember I hacked the warp engine off and used a old soldering iron for the battle damage then used a airbrush to paint the damage on. I also put the model at a angle to make it feel that it was listing.

    "Meet" static?
    I believe it's "Let them eat static" ala "Let them eat cake".

    Other than that nitpick... awesome model Dude.

    Ah, memories. I remember doing the battle damaged Enterprise in the same manner, using a soldering iron to burn in the Reliant phaser strike damage and then painting the scorching over the top. My Dad thought I was mental for ruining a perfectly good model.

    Hi axeman love your new Miranda class watching your thread closely.? My dad went mad as I used new soldering iron for the battle damage. I also did the enterprise but sadly she went to the big model scrapyard in the sky she was beyond repair. I also find to cardy galor class ships two voyagers and enterprise C I may post them on here when I get them at of mothballs !!!!

    Man, I miss that model.

    I kitbashed mine with TNG nacelles and an update top deck.

    that was my first kitbash ever. Memories. *sigh*

    still looks pretty good for 15 years, only a little decal yellowing.

    if you're up to it, you can buy replacement decals:

    and if you really wanted to try something new, they have these now

    I watched TWOK again last night on the telly, and I tell you I honestly got chills watching the Reliant in action. It's a real beautiful looking design.
