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

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

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

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.
