First! And likely least impressive knowing some of you cats. 
I was very excited to get cracking on my kit so I did a little work on her over the weekend. I did a quick paint job on the bridge, put in the overhead monitor decals and the Klingon D7 decal for the main view screen (they also have a Romulan warbird and Balok). I also built the shuttle deck and little shuttle, although I may not install the hanger deck as I like the look of the doors closed for display.
I found a good color for the hull, it's just grey primer spray paint! Nice flat finish and light grey color. What's very cool about the kit is that they provide you with three different options for the windows, clear, opaque white, or opaque black. Clear would be for a lighted kit but I have no lighting skills and I thought I would opt for the opaque white. But when I tried that is really gets' kind of lost and the windows lacked any definition. So I tried the opaque black and was much happier with the look. I glued in the bridge in the not stage accurate off set but the visually more appealing center facing command charm and helm lay out. If you want off my bridge you have to jump over Uhara.
