Oh, it took a minute or two. Luckily, I had a bunch of pre-made window masks left over from my last build, so I just used those for the bottom saucer. Unfortunately, I've run out of those. So for the rest of the ship it will be done with hand cut masks......oh the fun.Good gods! How long did it take to cut out and position all those tiny little bits of tape?!?
However long it was, it certainly looks like it was worth it.
Yeah, I looked into those. I went the full masking route with my Discoprise, but with Excelsior I just wanted more of a casual build, using only what I already have. Trying different things and seeing what works.
~ Yikes! That's what I was imagining (with lots of swearing and things been thrown across the room if I was doing it
). There's something to be said for the nice, smooth, panel-less finish of the TOS Enterprise.
It's actually more of an extremely cool white. Tried with a warmer tone but I didn't care for it.
