There are quite a few new pics of the MR TOS "E" posted on the master replicas forum. The gridlines are so over pronounced, especially on the underside of the saucer! I'm so perplexed, although I still haven't even received an email notice from MR yet, so maybe I’m not even getting one. Not sure of anything at this point! I'm sure of one thing...those advertised pics that we've been seeing for 7 months are inaccurate representations of the final product.
Here's what I’m thinking of doing at this point, and I'd like all input possible from you all:
I'm going to paint match as close as possible the light grey color they've used, then carefully mask the decals and windows, etc with frisket paper on the upper and lower primary hull. I’m going to then mist the primary hull only, causing a fading effect on the grid lines. I'll be very careful to mask/protect the engine pods and secondary hull as I have no intention of touching them at all. I'll then weatherize as I see fit. In addition, I’m painting the dish a lighter copper color to differentiate it from the amplifier rings. What do you think?
