Back in 2017 I was looking for any information the members here might have related to the Husnock warsuip shown in the STTNG episode "The Survivors"...

Screencaps of the Husnock warship:

At the time, there wasn't much info available but, since then, that is no longer the case. Eventually orthographics diagrams became available and with the advent of 3D prinitng techinology I was able to commission a printed model of the ship in 1/5000 scale in 2024.
At 1/5000 scale the model measured almost 8 inches long and was heavy for its size. The resin used was quite dense and not easily sanded.

Attached are some photos of the model on my workbench...

Here's a short in-progress video I put together...

After much prep work and detailing of the model on my part a base was constructed:

Application of Duplicolor filler primer yielded a workably smooth surface:

The model was airbrushed with Humbrol steel gray enamel:

Darker grey accents were added using Tamiya light and dark gunmetal pastel powders:
