The Final frontier? my last build! Polar lights 1/350 USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 refit

Here is my last commission build that i have done for a client, this was a challenge with many ups and downs along the way and took the best part of 6 months to complete!
This is the Polar Lights 1/350 scale kit with additional aftermarket parts to make it more screen accurate! as requested by my very patient client.
I have used a Tena controls board for the flashing nav and marker lights, plus this board also controls the power up mode from Orange impulse to Blue warp speed mode and the nacelles lighting Purple, other parts used are Paragrhix photo etch set-HDA modelworx impulse engine and warp nacelle mag grills and HDA decals for the "strongback" and last but not least is the new masking kit by "MaskDesign" to achieve the intricate multi colour shimmering Aztec's using PearlEx pigment powders, this effect is just about right because they are not over done and do not make it look too busy.
