Base color done! Next up, some clear coat, then brush painting some details. Airbrushing this beast has been kind of a pain, so I'm looking forward to some time away from the booth!

Okay, black basing/finishing surfacer done (two weeks ago, really, but I've been busy). Hope to get started with the base coat this weekend. It goes slow, but it goes.

After I got a coat of Mr Surfacer 1000 down, I had to take a break from DS9 for a couple of weeks - it was becoming more chore than fun. Back at it today laying down black Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 as last primer/undercoat.

TFW your model kit is kinda bigger than your spray booth. Spent a couple of hours being hyper-aware of my angle of spray.

Plastic model kit of the space station from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, with smaller sub-assemblies, ready for painting.
Not a lot of yakitori with this kit, but I am FINALLY ready to start painting.

DS9 is looking more & more like itself. As expected, even with some modifications, each pylon required yet more filling & sanding, but I'm inching my way towards the paint booth!

Partially assembled plastic model kit of Deep Space Nine space station.
Starting to look like DS9 now. Last of the PE on, lower docking arms and weapons towers attached.

Sub-assemblies of a plastic model kit of the Star Trek Deep Space Nine station, with added photo etched details, putty, and filling.
PE completed, another round of gap filling & sanding done. Next is to touch up some spots with CA gap filler, then do the main assembly... and deal with any gaps revealed there. Onwards!

That's the PE for the primary hull/Promenade & docking rings done! A few more to do around the core hull & power reactor assembly & docking arms, but we're getting there!

Okay, bit of a break from sandin today, in favor of making some decent progress with photo-etch. I am not good at dealing with PE, but this kit is gonna give me plenty of practice!

Calling the 1/350 Grissom complete. I'll have to get a black seamless backdrop (and a better camera?) for proper photos. #StarTrekModels #ScifiMiniatures #Grissom

This week on This Old Kit: more sanding & filling, plus surface prep for PE! In 1994 this kit was labeled as "Skill Level 2." SKILL. LEVEL. TWO.

New build commencing! 1/537 Reliant. Photoetch parts from greenstrawberry, bridge replacement from Lake Monster Details. I bought a Tamiya electric drill but didn’t realize it was a kit itself, thankfully I didn’t flub the build. #StarTrekModels #ScifiMiniatures #Reliant
Base and rod for a plastic model kit on on a workbench. The base has its lid open, showing wiring inside connecting an on/off button and power plug.
Not many guides for making/wiring model bases but I made this in Blender based loosely off @mkmmodelwerx.scot's very nice looking, far superior stand (ko-fi.com/s/6f81c593d8) and figured out the wiring with some trial and error - button and plug from hdamodelworx.com. #StarTrekModels #Grissom

Final test fit for the 1/350 USS Grissom build after filling the windows. Still some decals left to apply, but it's nice to look at a fully assembled ship! #StarTrekModels #ScifiMiniatures #ScifiModels #Grissom
