Those bussard collectors are looking very good indeed! cant wait to see what the base will look like when its finished.

Yes I know you would think that they would do a quality check! On a separate issue I have phoned and sent them emails asking for the impulse engine to be made in clear but to no avail! they just ended up sending me another of the white kit part:(

Fair enough everyone has there own idea of what looks good, all my enterprises Aztec panelling have been just the two different colours/shades, I did make a start on my 1/350 a while ago but it got put into the cupboard as I've been very busy building other models and when I finally get round to...

Here is some more pictures, the Aztec panel effect was done using just a gloss base paint then second layer of matt which gives a reasonable effect, in the pictures i have taken photos in different lighting conditions to show what it looks like, the deflector dish did have a copper colour to it...
