8 months after I started, she’s finally complete! Pics coming soon. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Final decal in place. I’ll leave it overnight and check for any bubbles (fix if there are any), then one final clear coat and she’ll be done! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Bridge dome and saucer edge decals are now on. Once set I’ll trim the excess off the saucer edge. One decal to go! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Closeup of the bridge with all the decals applied.

Saucer edge decal of dark blue lines. Some excess has went on the pylon. This will be trimmed and removed.

New toner arrived today, so the additional/replacement decals have been printed. I’ll get these on today and hopefully the final clear coat tomorrow. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

A4 decal sheets with additional markings for the Reliant model

MKM Modelwerx @mkm_modelwerx@pixelfed.social

All (but one) of the kit decals have been applied. There are some missing (they are included in the Aztec decal set, probably an attempt to get you to buy those too), but I have edited scans of them ready to be printed. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Top of the saucer section with all but the name decal in place.

Got the ventral saucer, pylon and nacelle decals applied to #Reliant last night. One of the red stripes curled and fell apart so I removed it and the one opposite (I’ll print out replacements when the new toner arrives). Today I’ll apply the dorsal decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Bottom of the model with the registry decal “NCC-1864” and red stripes applied.

Dry brushed some gunmetal on the phaser cannons and torpedo launchers then applied another gloss coat. She’s now ready for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Reliant #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

This morning I did the pin wash on the top of the saucer. I’ll let it dry, then use a cotton bud dipped in a little thinner and wipe the excess away. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

The bottom of the saucer with the gridlines washed with black paint.

Clear gloss coat has been applied to the entire model, next up is pin washing the gridlines and other details. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #FederationStarship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

The model looking shiny.

Cleanup done and I’ve applied white glue to all the windows. They go clear as it dries. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Closeup of some windows with the white glue on them. Some have went clear.

More windows where the white glue has went clear.

Turns out I did miss some detail paintwork (along the ventral aft edge of the saucer), so I masked it off and painted it dark grey. Now it’s time for cleanup. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Dark grey paint applied to the back edge of the model.

Phaser banks painted. There’s just a tiny amount of cleanup needing done to them. That’s the last of the painted details (unless I see something I’ve missed), all the rest will be done with decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

I painted the phaser banks red, then masked off the edges, then painted them yellow. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

3 rectangular areas painted red

Yellow masks applied over small edges of the red

The raised areas were then painted yellow.

I’ve masked off the bridge area and phaser banks to do some cleanup and paint the phasers. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Top of the saucer covered with yellow masking tape and tissue paper leaving exposed the areas that need painted.

Rollbar has been wired up and glued to the rest of the model. Assembly complete. Still got some more detail painting to do before moving on to cleanup. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Rollbar with torpedo launcher has been glued to the top of the rear of the saucer section.
