Theres Klingons on the starboard bow
hey gang,
Some people drag out vacation slides, I drag out the latest model build shots.
This is CC's D-7 kit. I went with the traditional 2-tone paint scheme. Jade Satin and Gloss Gray. Chrome Silver accents. The colors are a bit intense, but I chalk it up to studio lights washing out the colors a bit (like the gray Enterprise is white under the lights)
its still in progess, and the neck/boom isn't attached yet, but I thought you might get a kick out of seeing it at this stage. the 1000 scale is sitting on the neck of the biggun to give a scale.
enjoy, dissect. discuss

Lou, she is beautiful! I like the color choices. Is it 1/350 scale?

The CC D-7 is right around 1/300 scale, IIRC.
Excellent work thus far, Lou! Is this for you or a client?

Holy Cow! Do Klingons live and work on that thing?!
I agree with the comment above about color choices. I'm using this as a reference on my little Klingon Battlecruiser.

Time to make a stand.
I'm playing with different metallic finish vinyls over the copper ( a hint at the next project). The rod I will end up painting black and there will be smaller, slightly bigger rod attached to the ship so that I can rotate the ship when I want.
Griff, Nah this baby's all mine. Mostly because I can't get anyone to pay me to build for them. What I don't keep usually goes out as b-day or christmas gifts. but this one is destined for my "350" shelf. (I know in this case it's more the spirit of the 350, not the letter...)

We share the same work bench! 
Nice work! Add more pix!!!
I'm still catching up to where yer at with mine, but closing in on the finish line!
Now I have to get the original AMT kit to see how bad they deliberately mangled their own design for consumers. (Why do the companies do this? They know we want accuracy, they go out of their way to to give us slop!)
Here's Scott's TOS / AMT TPM side-by-side for ref as well!

Model Man,
I saw your pictures and I had the same thought about the work table.
Do we time share and not know it? 
anyway, I finished the D-7 this weekend. The insignias are the decals over ivory paint. the windows went on surprisingly well. I'm hoping the film between the windows will eventually disappear. I trimmed pretty closely, but not between them.
for you non-believers out there... there is no violet on this ship! but as soon as sunlight hit the gloss gray, it took on a violet hue
