This past weekend I got me Zvezda ISD model kit- a wonderful Christmas present from my best friend. I have been watching the online builds and trying to sort out what I intend to do with mine. I would love to give it a full lighting treatment, but I do not want the build to telescope int never never land since I cannot devote enough time to it.
I am going to do a partial lighted setup, with main engines and the various landing bays/alcoves. For the thousands of tiny window lights, instead of fiber-optic I plan on using UV paint instead. I have done this with capital ships in the past and the black light gives the hull a nice star-light glow.
Right now I am adding very tiny chips of styrene to the super structure sides and waistband pieces- that will take a while.
I do have one big question- does anybody know what these call outs say?
