Youve done well.

Thanks a bunch Jase! I appreciate the compliments! I'm probably going to scratch one myself down the road as well.
A quick update.

I fixed some of the holes I missed when I was filling and also sanded down some sloppy priming on my part. Here is the final primed version.


One of our cats decided he wanted to take a look as well. And now the final coat. I mixed the paint myself. Again, wanted to get a little experience mixing for a model. It may be close...I think it may be a little too dark based on the reference photos here on the site, but I'm happy with it.


I just need to paint up some detail, do just a little weathering and I should be finished the kit. I've decided to do a custom base for this to incorporate the lighting stuff. I'm looking at doing an asteroid surface...not sure how just yet, but I'm kicking around some ideas. Here is the start of the custom base. Not much to look at right now, I know.


So, the base is the next huge project. I'm going to try and work daily on this so I can finish a few smaller kits I have and then get to the TOS Viper! I'm itching to get to it!

Thanks everyone for looking and any comments that you may have!
