I picked up this kit at the Chiller show for $45. This is worth every penny! It is an awesome kit - BIG and detailed. I'm not an officianado on this ship but it looks pretty accurate to me
I agree painting this guy is going to be a bear. I was thinking of scaling the pics that PL gave us of the ship for referecento the actual size of the model then printing out the pics and using them and rough templates, and least as a guid for laying down greasepen lines to paing it later, but a true template would be awesome!
I was thinking about using a projector with an overhead and underneath pic of the saucer area, sized up and projected down onto the model to use as a template to pencil in the shapes to paint. It'd probably be a major job to do it though.....
