I am saving those decals for my 537 scale Star Trek IV Enterprise-A. I will paint them with the Martha Stewart Pearlescent Paints to simulate colored aztecs.
Are you going to putty & sand to get rid of the "wood grain" effect from the engraved Aztec pattern? I'm curious because I have the ST VI boxing. I wonder if Round 2 would reintroduce the "smoothie" if everyone griped loud enough.
@@Dragon_Werks As for me, on Model #12, I painted those small panels with Pearlescent Colors. But that was on the 2017 Reissued 537 kit, which I used as a testbed for Alignment and Stabilization Tests.
@@Dragon_Werks I put sprue flash behind the Saucer Rim Windows and painted them white from there. I just added some Pearlescent Colors to the Planetary Sensor. I didn't know about Aftermarket Parts when I built this Model. But I do know now, and I have a whole set from Lake Monster Details for my Motion Picture Refit.
Jerry, Micro Set/Sol are misnamed. Micro Set (blue bottle) is #1, while Micro Sol (red bottle) is #2. I find it easiest to label the lids as 1 & 2. For those who don't believe, just contact Micro Scale.
Hi Jerry, I'm doing these same aztecs from HDA right now myself. Did you happen to adjust the contrast of this video where you show the decals as stills? My decal sheets are so light and subtle that I can barely see where to trim them and I'm curious if yours are the same way.
Thank you, I was worried for a minute, but I will be using your stills to help me define where to trim mine!No knock on HDA. The decals are lying down beautifully.
I am glad my photos could help. I am looking forward to using them. I am still working on painting the four color Aztecing on my 1/350 Refit. The decals will be a nice change. =-) @@oldb-1kenobi
Awsome! I love working with HDA model works items! This is going to be great!
Going to be fun for sure! =^>
woah, those are awesome decals!
They’re going to look great.

Nice! Best of luck with your build my friend!

@@SeansModelBuilds2017 did you fill the windows and add something clear to the planetary sensor ?

Looking forward to this !
Thank you. It is going to be a fun build!
Micro Set first then Micro Sol. The Sol softens and dissolves the carrier film.
Are you thinking about using any Lake Monster details for this kit?

Your right. I was In error all this time. Thank you for pointing that out.
@@TrekFanNCC-1701 you're welcome, Jerry. Sorry if I came across as a jerk.
No not at all. =^>

Yes, in fact I adjust the contrast for all my photos in order to show all of the details on what ever is in the photo. Best of luck with your build!

The better Aztek masks are probably the ones made by Lou Delmaso over at Aztek Dummy for both the 1/537 and 1/350 kits.
