And the two girls together...Let me know if anyone wants any images from different angles.  :metallica:

They both look great Bryan!  You are getting quite the fleet!  Hey one quick question, did you do anything special for the grid lines on the TOS-E?  Pencil them a bit or did they just darken up naturally when you hit the ship with the primer by filling in a bit on the lines?  I'm looking especially at the underside of the primary hull.

[Bryancd]

The grid lines on the top of the primary hull are less pronounced and subtle and you are correct, hitting them with the primer made them even more so. They are more pronounced underneath and the circular lines are very distinct. How does that compare to your MR?

[Rico]

Pretty similar.  I think your primer color is just a little darker than what is on the MR Big-E.  Here's the underside of mine.  Not the best pic, but it's what I had handy.

[Bryancd]

Interesting, they actually are more subtle. Karl Tate did some comparison shots of the R2 kit parts and the MR in the RPF thread on the kit. Man, that thing is GORGEOUS!

Looks Great Bryan, Very impressed how quickly you finished this. The Bridge, did you just leave that clear?

[davekill]

My favorite ship, I like it a lot (Rico's too).

I did and you can look through and see the details (command chair and helm console plus the side stations. They are tiny but I did paint them as best I could. It's fun to look down inside!

[Bryancd]

Just two more then I will stop, I really love looking at it.  :wub

Based on what I have seen from you, I ink you can do even better. I would love to see you tackle the refit. You are a terrific painter.

"Still the best damn ship in the fleet!"

The refit is my favorite ship from anything. I would really love to do one up with lights and all that, I just don't know how. But, yeah, I think I need to do one of these larger scale models.
