Horizon no more! Name and registry decals have been removed. Next I need to regloss the model for the new decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #GalaxyClass #USSHorizon #Horizon #USSEnterprise #Enterprise #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Bringing USS Horizon into dry dock for a name change before shipping her to her new home. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #GalaxyClass #USSHorizon #Horizon #USSEnterprise #Enterprise #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

The blue LEDs finally arrived, so I got them wired up and glued into place. I then glued both halves of the main body together. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Got most of the LEDs wired up in the main body of the #Venator, I didn’t have enough blue LEDs to do the engines (I ordered more a few days ago, hopefully they will arrive tomorrow). #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Control tower LEDs have been wired up. Quick light test before I glue the tower to the main body. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Control tower assembly complete. Next I need to wire up the LED strips inside it and on the area where it will be glued to then I can wire up the main body. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Last night I applied milliput around the gaps/seams of the two control towers. Time to get them sanded. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Glued an SMD into the front of each control tower, then glued the parts together. Gap/seam filling with milliput next. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Engine parts have now been glued together. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

This kit doesn’t need a lot of internal light blocking, so I hand painted a layer of black followed by a layer of silver on the largest parts and gunmetal on the engine parts. #StarWars #StarWarsModels SciFiModels #Venator #Republic #StarDestroyer #2700Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Can’t do any paint work right now (my modelling room is being used as storage), so I’ve started work on the 1/2700 #Venator. Windows have been drilled, sides have been glued into place, stand rod and power connector in place, some engine modifications and milliput applied to some gaps/seams. #StarWars #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #Republic #StarDestroyer #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

New arrival. The Revell 1/2700 #Venator class Republic #StarDestroyer model kit. Fun fact: Of all the ships in the #StarWars universe, this is the only one I actually like . #StarWarsModels #SciFiModels #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

New arrival. Inside this box is a top 3 wish list model I’ve been after for years but couldn’t afford. Until now! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #Mystery #Tease #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Polaris powered up and ready to depart. 2/2 #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #NXClass #Starfleet #Starship #1000scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Lower saucer lights have been wired up and tested. Next up is wiring up the upper saucer lights. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #537scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

#Enterprise G is finally finished! 1/2. This is a fantastic kit, but for me, has been let down by the decals. Discoloured and darker than on other builds I’ve seen.

Don’t let my experience put you off though, @hornershipyards have released a fantastic kit, I’ve just had some very bad luck with the decals.

Now I just need to try and save some more pennies to get their other kits!

Final decals in place. I’ll leave it overnight then check for any bubbles. If there’s none, then it’s on to a final clear coat. If these decals were lighter, those gaps between them wouldn’t be as obvious. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All the dorsal aztec decals are now on. Again, one side is a greenish grey and the other a reddish brown. Definitely a printer issue as I’ve had my own decals come out the same way. Anyway, I’ll let them set for a few hours, before I start applying name/registry/marking decals on the ventral side. Almost there! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
