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

Impulse engine photoetch painted and glued into place. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

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

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

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

I used a scriber to gently scrape the paint from the recessed lines of the inboard chiller grilles on each nacelle to let the blue light out. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

The front edge of each nacelle have been painted light blue. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Detail painting on the rollbar is done. Just a small amount of cleanup and it’ll be ready to be glued into place. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Detail painting continues on the top and bottom of the saucer section. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Painting done. Masks removed. Final result of the Aztec pattern. Next up is detail painting. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Change of plans this morning means I can do the secondary pattern on the #Miranda. All masks have been applied and ready for paint. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Painting done and masks removed. Next up is more masking for the secondary pattern, but that will have to wait a few days). #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

The rest of the saucer section has been masked. Time to paint again! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Started masking the saucer section and nacelle pylons tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll mask the rest then get it painted. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Painted and masks removed. Next is masking the saucer section. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All masks have been applied to the rollbar and nacelles. Time for paint! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Here we go! Time to start masking #Miranda class rollbar and nacelles. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Weather isn’t as good today, so it’s time to get back to the #Miranda. I’ve went back over the parts with light grey as it looked a bit patchy. I’ll leave it for a few days to dry properly before I begin applying the paint masks. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Now that the #Cerritos is finished, I really should get back to the #Miranda class (once the paint needed has arrived). #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #MirandaClass #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #537scale #ShipsOfStarTrek #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx
