Really loving the color palette and patterns you're using that seems to be unique to the Ambassador. Nicely done!
Anyone still build models?

Yeah, the Ambassador does seem to be unique in that it's so blue. I gotta wonder what was the reasoning behind that? No other Starfleet ship, that I can remember, is coloured so differently from the rest of the Fleet. At least in the prime timeline. Even the Cerritos, with it's mission colours, isn't nearly as colourful. Closest competitor would be the Shenzhou, with its red details.
The DS9 Frankenfleet had some pretty bilious colors as well. The original (Buckner) Centaur, Yeager, Jupp and a number of the other kitbashes had deep-bright blues, oranges, tans and gold highlights.
Anyone sick of seeing thing thing yet?
Progress marches on. Little more paint on the upper saucer before moving on to window scratching, light placement, and then final assembly. To be followed by clear coating, decal placement, more clear coating, weathering, and finally another final clear coat...... Maybe it'll be done this month.

Still looks cool.
So no.
So no.
~ Maybe the Ambassador-class was painted with mission colours too? And the few that we've seen have all been science ships?
Anyway, your model is coming along really well. You have far more patience than I with such things!
Cali's have more than mission colors - they have war paint! And I think that's pretty damn awesome!
That turned out really nice!
Yeah, still plenty of opportunities for me to screw it up, but I am pleased with how it's looking. Light blocking has certainly been a challenge. Dreading putting the saucer together. We'll see how she goes.
nicely done
Build one! And don't say you can't, because 2 years ago, I couldn't either!
I really don't have the time for it, that's more of an issue.
Fair enough. It's definitely a time sink.
What paints do people paint their models with?
Been using apple barrel cause its cheap and works for the figures I got.

I'm old school - Testors and Tamiya were always my favorites. The latter was great for reproducing mil-spec colors.
