Just finished another commission build of the Jlong kit. I used one of Sporak's aluminum thumb wheels on this one.

More pics here.

Boy, have we come a long way since that fuzzy picture in the Making of Star Trek.

Great job, on a very detailed kit.

Lovely work - been very tempted to pull teh trigger so to speak on one of these kits but am a clumsy modeller and don't think I can do it justice sadly. Will just look on in awe at this one!

Robn1, that is one fantastic build. Do you have any advice on how to evenly paint the body? What was your method? Again, that's some first-rate work.

It was spray painted using a mini spray gun Adjustable Detail Spray Gun I used Rustoleum Professional oil based enamels mixed to make the dark gray RustOleum.com. I added this hardener for oil paints, it makes it really tough Valspar Enamel Hardner, 8 fl. oz. - 3449669 | Tractor Supply Company

Awesome! I need to get my kits out and build them thanks to your inspiration!

 

[Spence]

Thanks for the advice, robn1! I plan on building another one of these kits in the next few months.

Excellent build , you do awesome work . thumbsup

Thanks guys! I should mention on the paint, this one was painted in flat colors. I think satin would look better. I intended to buff the paint to give it a little satin sheen, but the hardener works too well. I couldn't buff it! It's flat to stay. Next time I'll use satin black and satin white.

Great job! It looks as though it should be in a museum.
