#Enterprise G is finally finished! 2/2. This is a fantastic kit, but for me, has been let down by the decals. Discoloured and darker than on other builds I’ve seen.

Don’t let my experience put you off though, Horner Shipyards have released a fantastic kit, I’ve just had some very bad luck with the decals.

Now I just need to try and save some more pennies to get their other kits!

Final decals in place. I’ll leave it overnight then check for any bubbles. If there’s none, then it’s on to a final clear coat. If these decals were lighter, those gaps between them wouldn’t be as obvious. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

All the dorsal aztec decals are now on. Again, one side is a greenish grey and the other a reddish brown. Definitely a printer issue as I’ve had my own decals come out the same way. Anyway, I’ll let them set for a few hours, before I start applying name/registry/marking decals on the ventral side. Almost there! #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Ventral Aztec decals have been applied. There’s still some red/brown discolouration but nowhere near as bad as the first set. Maybe I’m just unlucky with decal sets. They’re also a bit too dark for my liking (still a great set of decals though). I’m at the point where I just want it finished, so on I go. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

Started applying the Aztec decals to the #Enterprise G last night. Going well so far. Today I’ll be applying all the secondary hull and ventral saucer decals. #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #USSEnterprise #NeoConstitutionClass #Federation #Starship #ShipsOfStarTrek #1400Scale #ScaleModels #ModelBuilder #MKMModelwerx

I’ve applied the first 2 decals to the #Enterprise G and I have to be honest, I’m not happy with them. They have a red/brown tint to them. They are supposed to be grey. I have 2 choices: continue applying them and be unhappy with the result or remove them and just apply the name/registry/marking decals and be unhappy with the result.
