The
U.S.S. Prometheus was assigned to allow scientist/artist Gideon
Seyetik an opportunity to carry out an experiment to re-ignite a
dead star.
To model the Nebula Class, The AMT Enterprise-D was modified and
sheet styrene was added This kit was finished well before resin
add-on kits were available.
The
overhead Weapons Pod is made from nine layered sheets of
styrene. This is actually the model's second pod. A replacement
pod was made when new orthographic views and details became
available.
The pod's 'neck' is made from sheet styrene as are the plant-on
details.
Overall hull color is Flat Gull Gray, with Euro 1 Gray Phaser
banks.
The
pylon structure had to be cut out from the Enterprise-D version.
After trimming to the rounded shape of the hull, the pylon was
glued under the saucer. The secondary hull and connecting dorsal
were fit to the rest of the model afterwards.
Many of the decals are from the Enterprise-D kit. Decals specific
to the Prometheus are from Web Games.
The Bussard collectors are painted Gloss Red. Lifeboat hatches
are painted Sand, windows are Gloss Black and Gloss White.
