ulvdemon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 While I have the USS Enterprise on hold pending delivery of some decals, I went ahead and started my USS Defiant from DS9. Build so far, will be dealing with the seams this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Started filing in the seams. Currently trying out Vallejo's putty for this build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hmmmmm....Would have thought it would have clear plastic for those engines. Looks like a lot of putty is in need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 This boxing of the model is from the 90's. I remember that it never came with clear plastic. Alot of putty, but still a fun build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Great job on this "tough little ship". Keep up the great work! Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Thanks, a small update. I had to use Tamiya putty on some of the bigger seams along the nacelle and the nose. section. Also tried to spray Vallejo Model Air's Copper... didn't go so well....ughhh. Tried to take a picture of the results, but the camera had issues focusing on the color.

ulvdemon Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 More work done on this build. Seams and trying to paint the metallic colors for the stand. Gold laid down and I hope it evens out as it dries. *Fingers crossed* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Priming the Defiant. This might take a couple of layers... Laying down the silver for the stand. Stripped and repainted the Bussard Collectors. Just need to do a little touch up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
