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

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

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
