Yo, Demon! Do you have the OLD Reliant kits, or the UPDATED kits? If you have the older ones, the conversion kit has extra pieces to correct the hull width & stuff, if you have the newer ones, you won't need it.
FYI

I actually have a few of both. But I did not know that the newer kits were more accurate. That is good to know. I might pull one of the older kits so I can use these parts up so i wont have to do it later. Feeling a bit ambitious I am!!

Thank you so much!Loving your build
This build is made more interesting by the fact that the on-screen shots of it are inconclusive in some ways, forcing me to do some interpretation; precisely what my client outlined at the beginning. I'm free to frack some with the aztecing!:lol

Hello, everyone! This is the "client." After lurking for a bit, I figured I'd register and say 'hello.'
I have to say I'm impressed with the care that Chrisisall is putting into this; I know little to nothing about model building, haven't built one in probably ~30 years, but knew I wanted a Soyuz-class as soon as I saw that Federation Models made a conversion kit for the Reliant. I met Chrisisall through purchasing one of his outstanding BSG Viper models and asked him if he'd be interested in taking on a...ummm..."eclectic" commission.
I'm glad he did!

P.S. As for the question, "Why the Bozeman?", those greebles aren't sensor pods, as Memory Alpha indicates. They're guns. They're all guns. The Soyuz class was basically a battlewagon used for anti-piracy and system defense. So given that my favorite Trek ship is the Miranda class to begin with, why *wouldn't* I want one bristling with ouch-makers? :love

Hey dude! Welcome to the site!
So, painting ensues- I'm laying a black base, then later a light gray that will let the deeper shades in the lower recesses of the model show through ever so slightly, lending depth to the piece.
Aztecing will follow- the most challenging part in the painting.
Guns will be the very last thing to be added.

Hey- it's the BatmoBozeman!
:lol
This is sailing smooth now. Little tweaks here & there at this point, overall a very satisfying build!

Well, got my kit today and I have to say that this is one of the best cast kits I have purchased. there are a few areas that need a little work but not many. Really looking forward starting this kit. I don't think it would be really hard to light this kit. I may be wrong as I have been wrong on an occasion or 10 but it looks like it wouldn't be tough.
Chris, your Bozeman looks fantastic. If your black paint comes out like I think it will I will do the same. Should make for easy weathering.
Looking forward to more updates!!

Hey D- you planning to get an Aztek Dummy set or do the stuff yourself?
I'm gonna see what I can come up with- just to make it more unique...
