| Tip: | when it come to star trek kits, the colour of the plastic is usually the same colour as the base coat. for example, the excelsior kit, it is made of white plastic and the base coat should the same colour. by using the colour of the plastic, you will be able to create very high detail models. when i did this model, i painted the details and any paint that overran, i simple straped it off it a craft knive leave a every clean edge. if you do this will a base coat, you take of the excess paint with the base coat and it ends up looking like something you plled out your nose. you can also do this with masking tape but there is a chance that the base will come away with the tape. to help the decals adheir better, simple add a light of of clear acrilic where the decals go. then if you wish, apply a clear protective coat as you usually do. and you end up with a ship that looks like it is justout of spacedock. | ||
