NX-01 Enterprise

By Jake Groby

This is a recently-completed 1/350th scale NX-01 Enterprise. The model was built for a client and has both the Aztec decaling effect and a lighting kit.

The build went together rather well except for the learning curve on using the Aztec decals. The colors that were used on the hull were: Testors Titanium Metalizer as the base coat and Testors Metalizer Aluminum as the top coat.

The standard decals that came with the kit had some issues as they were created to be a certain size and the area they were too cover was too large. So many of the smaller decals were drawn on using different color ''sharpie markers'', the effect was quick and sharp looking (no pun intended). You can see web shots for the entire build process here.
