You pretty much recreated the Animated Series Romulan D7 with the deflector sticking out like that Sean.

Shawn, you have to get to Wonderfest next year! This years just wrapped up, it’s the largest Sci-fi modeling conference in the US!

[@thescifimodelguy]

Wow bummer! I didn't know about it. I sent them an email and asked if they have a mailing list. I'll definitely go next year !

[@wayne0220]

@@thescifimodelguy there’s some great content already on KZbin from this years event. I know you would have an absolute blast and it would make for a great meeting spot for some of your (almost 1000!) subscribers to say hi in person 😊

Really great build Shawn. Way to go!

Regarding the issue of your liquid mask pulling up your paint.... I suggest that you seal the paint with something like dull coat first, that may solve that problem. That should act as a barrier.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Thank you for the tip! I usually don't have the problem, but will remember this if it comes up again. I may have just not waited long enough for the paint to cure

@19:15 The torpedo tube piece rim should be flush with the hull, a good gap filler applied, and then sanded smooth as is the case with both the original studio model (At the Smithsonian) and the master tooling model (At the Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle, Wa). Unless you're trying to make your model look like the D7s from the 1973 Animated Series which used this kit as reference.

[@thescifimodelguy]

Hey Mike, Yeah, I saw that from all the reference photos... But the thing was, that the kit was completely hollow - there was no piece in the back to serve as a stop for the little insert... So, if it went in too far, I could have easily lost it as the kit had already been glued together. I thought about gluing it on to one half of the piece, but it was just a bit too risky for me to decide to do it.. I also considered sanding it down, but that would have been a lot of work for something that I considered to be a minor detail.
