Finally finished a new styrene model and, given a new digital camera, I figured I'd test it out. I'll post these on my Flickr account and link rather than upload here, as I don't want to draw any ire on posting stuff that isn't really furry art.

Anyhoo, I present Reliant, from Star Trek II:

I won't lie, this one was a pain to build. ERTL didn't put much effort into making sure seams lined up, and there were a lot of gaps that needed to be puttied, clamped, and sanded before they looked right, and the paint guide was all wrong; I found myself watching through the movie again and pausing selected scenes to hold up paint swatches next to the TV.

All in all, despite the effort, I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out, and when the decals went on, that's when it really went from blah to not-half bad.

And today's word of the day is Khan. The word of the day should always be shouted real loud to get the point across...


Next project: The fine-molds Y-wing.
