On
this page we have the damaged Enterprise from Star Trek III: The
Search for Spock. I built this out of the box with obvious
modifications to the saucer.
The
damaged area to the forward saucer was constructed by placing wooden toothpicks at the
appropriate angles (by looking at the grid lines on the saucer
plastic) to form the internal skeleton. I then filled the gaps
with filler putty and scribed away varying depths to simulate
the decks seen edge-on.
The
base coat was modified Flat White. Flat Black was added to give
it a darker shade. The impulse crystal was Insignia Blue, and
the impulse engine was scribed and painted Medium Gray. (It was
not painted red because it was dying...the engine was off).
The RCS thrusters can be seen with some damage on
the lower starboard area again delivered by the Reliant's
attack.
You can see that the navigational deflector is no longer
functioning at this point.
Here's
an overhead view showing the extensive saucer damage. All
of the '-A' markings had to be trimmed from the registries
provided with the kit decals.
The shuttlebay was painted Medium Gray.
Colors used for the warp engines included Insignia Blue, Flat
Black, Copper, and Medium Gray.
The RCS thrusters were Zinc Chromate Yellow and detailed with
the same fine artists marker used to mark in the officer's
lounge windows behind the bridge.
