This is my 1/700 scale Enterprise.
This was my first attempt on a ship. I had enjoyed every moment getting this
ship done up. The kit itself is from Tamiya. The mold is actually quite old but
quite simple to build. Everything shown here was just simply built
Out-of-the box. Painting was done with lacquer based paints and weathering with
pastel colors.

Since this ship is a
1/700 scale. The painting method of this ship is done streaks by streaks to
bring out the effect of it. It is very time comsuming, but the end result turns
out better then I expected. Weathering was done to enhance the look of the ship.
It was weathered using pastel powder.
For presentation
wise for a water-line series, I have done up a simple display base for the ship
to make it more presentable. The base is done using patterned arcylics sheets.
It is double layered with the bottom piece painted deep sea green and the top
transluscent blue to simulate the type of sea it is sailing in. The top piece
was further polished with paper to make light reflection on the surface. The
sides was framed up with book binder for further touch up.
