Here is the third ship of the
Star Trek Scratchbuild Group Build on FSM. This design was taken from Masao
Okazaki's StarFleet Museum website. It is turned from aluminum round stock
and slotted for 1/16" fins. The base and support rod are aluminum as well.
The center is bored out to lighten the overall weight and to add future LED
navigation lighting, once I find out how! Picture 3 shows the model turned
and polished with 240 and 400 grit sandpaper.

The
panels were both scribed and placed on with different colored decal sheets. The
model was painted with Tamiya clear blue and yellow, then weathered with
metallic gray. The nose art girl came from the Starship Modeler site. Tracii
Guns was handpainted on with Polly-S paints.
