I'm glad you mentioned the subtlety of the colors on the original refit paint job, and what you have done so far looks good and is not overly harsh like some of the builds I have seen online.

Nice work sirrrrrrrrrr. Thank you for sharing 👍.

Thank you for watching. Much appreciated.

Won''t CA glue cause Clouding/Frosting on the plastic clear piece? If you got it you can use Solarez or clear window glue, with the window glue it will take a while to dry but will hold good thats what I used, just use something kinda small and soft to place on the inside window then tape over that to hold in place till it dries, make sure you have the window shaped and curved before glueing.

Good point! Thanks for the tip.

That duck egg blue just doesn't work for me, not on the Enterprise. I don't know why and I've tried several different shades and intensities of blue but I just can't make it work. I just can't make that color work on this ship. Maybe I'll mix some greys or...I don't know.

Totally get it. I’ve tried using pre-made duck egg blue paint that’s already out there. But this time around I’m mixing my own. Thanks for watching!
