I've been wanting to do Trek ships for a long time now but didn't want to do the bigger scale ships as they take up way to much space so when I picked up the AMT Enterprise 3 piece kit I knew that it was this scale(1/2500) that wanted to do as they are small enough to make a number of ships without taking up heaps of space, Also with the great decals you can get on the market your ship can look as good as the bigger kits. Once the kit was built I sprayed it with Tamiya's Haze Grey and then drybrushed it with GW's 2 part mix of Codex Grey and Space Wolves Grey as I wanted to give it a older style feel.
RECIPE
Base - The base is from GW I drilled a hole in the middle and used plasti-card for the mount and drilled a hole in the bottom of the ship.
Ship - The ship is the TOS Enterprise from the Enterprise 3 piece kit I used the sensor and mount and attached that to the new secondary hull which is plasti-card with cardboard attached to the ends.
Decals - The decals are from Gizmotron Models which I got from www.federationmodels.com and I was very impressed with them especially never doing a model in this size the decals are a great way to give you the detail you want without having to do it yourself.
