Ended up having to redo the paintwork on the sides of the sled and the outboard sides of each pylon. Next up is cleanup, followed by a final clear coat and she’ll be done! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Showing the pylon of the Grissom model

I also applied white glue to the windows. Once dry they will be clear. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Masked the edges of the parts then applied milliput, then removed the masks. Once set I’ll sand it then see whether I need to apply more or can paint. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

One last thing. I used a pencil to draw two lines at the front of each nacelle to close the gap between the decals. Now it’s time for a break. I hope you all have a good day tomorrow 🖖🏻. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Gaps between the decals at the front of the nacelles.

Secondary hull wired and glued to the sled. Assembly completed. Next up is filling the gaps and seams at the joins between the pylons and the sled. But I’ll do that after Christmas is out of the way. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

I’ve now applied a matt clear coat over the two assemblies. Next I’ll be wiring and then gluing them together. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

The last decal above the registry on the top of the saucer, it says U.S.S. Grissom

Saucer registry and red stripe decals applied to the top of the saucer. One decal left. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Starfleet insignia pennants now on the outboard side of each nacelle. 4 decals to go! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Gridline decals now applied to the nacelles, they don’t meet in the middle so I’ll probably use a pencil to fill those gaps. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Port warp nacelles showing the gridline decal in place. These decals cover both halves of each nacelle.

Underside of the saucer section showing the registry NCC-638 with two red stripes at either side following the curve of the grid lines.

Gloss coat applied. Tomorrow I’ll begin applying the decals. This kit doesn’t include decals for the shuttle bays, so I created some myself (the last time I built this kit) and printed them. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Looking down at the two assemblies of the Grissom model.

Cleanup of Grissom’s panel lines is done. Next up is another gloss coat to prepare it for decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Panel lines and other details done on the lower sled section and secondary hull. Will leave overnight and then see if I need to touch up any areas. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx

Some thinned black paint applied to various areas on the lower half of the sled/saucer section assembly.

Thinned black paint applied to panel lines on the secondary hull.

Panel wash in progress, once dry I’ll go back over it with a cotton bud dipped in a little thinner to remove excess paint, then move on to the next area and so on until it’s all done. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #SciFiModels #OberthClass #Grissom #Starfleet #Federation #Starship #350Scale #ScaleModels #ShipsOfStarTrek #MKMModelwerx
