Well perhaps the third time is the charm. I am attempting my third build of the Round2 1/480 USS Defiant NX-74205.
I have begun HEAVY reconstruction of the kit..... I actually had to buy three of the rereleased kits from Round2 to make this happen.

I am moving the warp housings to make them more accurate, fixing the deflector, and shortening the tail section. It still won't be exact to the filming model but it will be a lot better than the out of box kit IMHO.

I have been working like a madman..... I got the modified hull completed and painted..... Unfortunately my airbrush died ( It splattered a lot of the paint and made it look crappy so i have to resand it.) Also the color of the hull is way too dark so I have to remix the paint and start over again.....
 
 
I like the shape of the hull now though quite a bit.....

Well..... She is finished and I have to admit that she came out better than I thought .... All that cutting apart and reattaching, puttying and sanding.... I honestly wasn't sure if I was throwing money away.... I have to say that I now own a USS Defiant that I am proud of....


I will post the final shots ASAP....

Thanks again everyone for the encouragement and positive feedback....

I cant wait to see this one. Don't pull a James (me) and decide it would look better battle damaged. I now have to repaint my Abrams Enterprise because of that. LOL
