Here's my first attempt at painting a ship form the fleet of '09.

First off I have to say that the model itself is amazing. The detail was incredible with very little air bubbles or flash in the casting and all the pieces fit together perfectly. I was hesitant about wallpaper decals at first just seeing them on the paper, but when I applied the first section to the model I knew it was going to work out. However it was not without some major trial and error.

You will notice that there is battle damage on some of the hull, thats from areas where I messed up the decals too bad and had to cover it up! Good thing I had some PNT battle damage decals handy!
