You decals are printed, sealed, and packaged.
They will hit the Post Office tomorrow at lunch.

Awesome

Unfortunately I've promised myself that I won't paint any of the Fleet Box until after my oral exam, so some of the decals will have to stay in the paintbox for the time being...

Here's my newest, the Federation NCL USS Repulse, NCC-1503. From purchase through applying Tenneshington Decals - a joy all around.

Very nice work!

Very cool, Jim. It's pretty neat to see something that was on my laptop less than two weeks ago already in-use (and applied so well).

Do I detect a faint "rust ring" weathering on the forward upper saucer? Nice touch!

Thanks all - and, yes Will, I added a faint rust ring bit of weathering on the saucer.

That's an incredible looking ship, Jim... are the fore part of the nacelles silver with a red ink wash or something like that over them? It looks very effective, and I may have to steal the idea at some point

Thank you! The domes are base coat Model Master Brass, with thinned Tamiya Clear Red overcoat.

great job on the fed ship.

Now the decals have arrived, I've started detailing the ships up. Here's the first of them, a Police Cutter... I had a minor brain fail with some of the decal placements (the name decal on the top of the primary hull should apparently be on the stern of the secondary hull, and I made the same mistake on anothe Police Cutter), but never mind!

looks great with the decals

"There are no mistakes, there is only artistic-interpretation."

I think it turned out as a fine mini.

TheRowan · Post by **TheRowan** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 6:44 pm

And my second (and last one for tonight) ship, the USS Enrique Bermudez...

Again a couple of mistakes... most notably, managing to wreck all the transporter sensors and having to paint them on by hand

I also painted the shuttlebay approach lights on, as I found it very difficult to get the decal into the space. The combat leader rings I didn't apply, as I intend to use them to indicate Command variants or vessels with flag facilities.

Ditto - I think you've got a fine Police Cutter mini there. I like the War Destroyer too!
