USS Mira
Original AMT 1/537 Enterprise Refit kit with a PNT resin aftermarket upgrade to convert to a Belknap/Decatur class starship. Aftermarket decals from Gus Snipes at GCals and lots of masking to get the Aztec pattern on the model before decals.
Very nice build and finishing, especially the saucer section.
Thank you!
Very nice and makes me hope for the future when maybe we will be able to build the real thing like that.
My hopes as well!
Beautiful work, Butch, and a truly delightful base, too! Could you please add more about the aftermarket products you used when you have a chance. LLAP
the only aftermarket products use would have been the conversion kit which included the lower hull, neck, and nacelle pylons. Custom registry is from Gus Snipes at GCals. I picked up the conversion kit at Wonderfest earlier this year from Federation Models
Great work on not an easy kit especially the paint work. I don't know how some guys have the patience to paint the Aztec pattern because I don't... I use decals to save my sanity.
it’s therapy! lol

Great looking Starship and nice job on how the different color panels were painted. She's a beaty!
I consider it therapy but there was a lot of tape killed in the process
