After finally getting my gloss black spray paint, I was finally able to finish the build.
I added the relevant stickers to the plexiglass parts, as the title of this thread shows, I chose to do the Mk X. Almost all of these plexiglass sections I just ended up pressure fitting into place, and they seem very secure. I did mess up the Image Record/Library cluster, stickers slipped a little, so I may ask to get another sticker set for that to redo it.
The EMRG section I painted gloss black, and sealed. Then the sticker was added. I did use a spot of hot glue to hold this panel in place. And the red EMRG button again just was pressure fit it in. I will see how some of these pressure fits go over time, and I may add some spots of super glue. But this will likely not be handled every day, so I think it will be fine.
And done!
There are some minor imperfections and blemishes in my build. But I am very happy with how this turned out.
Big thanks to stapleton13 and gmprops for making such awesome kits, it was really a treat to build. It looks fantastic, and is super satisfying to have as part of my prop collection.
Next up for me are kits from the same builders, the Star Trek boomerang phaser.
