I saw Calvin's old build of the J Villeneuve Williams, so I decided for a change of pace, one of F1's Klingon Battle Cruisers...  For those of you who like to decal (Calvin)...these are Mostly decaling...  I am using the new Tamiya TS 89 Pearl Blue which was made to replicate the 1:1 cars... More pictures soon... Tim |

What! No one here speaks Klingon? I guess that makes sense: if Klingons had time from battle to build models, they would be found in the armor and war forums.
Maj wa'dich tlhih taah! (Nice start, continue!)
Hey! I'll bet you guys thought I'd damaged my keyboard, or changed my prescription!

Moving along...  Two colts of paint: the rest is all decals...  I was surprised how different this car is from say a 1999 McLaren...and the current ones are waaaaay different from this one (particularly the nose)...  This does nor show this color...will take outside sunshine pictures next...  This shows the front wing not yet attached...it has 18 decals...  Thanks for the kind words...questions, comments welcome...and YES it still looks like a Klingon Battle Cruiser... Tim |

Maj wa'dich tlhih tah! --Frank I think my daughter, a major ST-TNG geek probably could have translated.  I gave her a 3 day pass for the Silicon Valley Comic-Con for Christmas where I believe all the major actors from the show were there (except Patrick Stewart, of course). She said it was amazing. Geek heaven. All 3 of my grand-kids are big fans as well. MJ |

But back to the model: It looks fantastic. Congrats on successfully applying the wing decals!
Two questions:
How did you get the awful Revell tires to look so good?
And what yellow did you use?
