Detail painting and clean up done. A gloss coat has been applied over the model. Next I’ll apply a dark grey wash to dirty her up a bit and bring out the panel lines. #StarTrek #Defiant #DefiantClass #Starfleet #FederationStarship #3DPrinting #ScaleModels #MKMModelwerx

Maybe look at the #ScaleModels feed, at all the Gundam/Gunpla figures. Maybe some inspiration there for you to pick up. (I know little about it as well but like the look of what they do.)

I’m about 92% complete now on the 1/72 scale Eduard F6F-3 Hellcat. Tonight I prepared the propeller and am working on the external fuel tank. The drop tank came without a proper seam, so I stretched sprue and gently glued it down. #histscalemodels #scalemodels
