1/100 Scratchbuilt 

Star Trek Minotaur

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.
