Romulan Bird of Prey - Shades

I have added some shades on my model. They are handpainted with Vallejo Model Color:
Gunship Green 70895 (40%) + White 70951 (20%) + Glaze Medium (40%)

Romulan Bird of Prey - Coloration

I wanted that this Bird of Prey visually fits better in the Romulan fleet. This is the reason why I have used as basic hull color a greenish steel color.

For all my models I use the Airbrush color from Vallejo (Model Air).

basic hull color

Steel 71065 (70%) + Yellow 71002 (15%) + Olive Green 71007 (15%)

I love the Aztec look of this vessel as it can be seen in the remastered TOS episodes.

• dark Aztec color
  Steel 71065 (30%) + Olive Green 71007 (70%)

• light Aztec color
  US Grey Light (30%) + Thinner (70%)

• Aztec details
  Aero Shine Silver (100%) from Schmincke

The end caps of the Warp nacelles and the Torpedo launcher is 100% Steel 71065.

Romulan Bird of Prey

I bought the romulan Bird of Prey resin kit (Star Trek - TOS "Balance of Terror") in 1/1400. It is a 8cm long beautiful model on which is nothing to to expect to glue the parts together.

There are only two changes that I have made:
1. I have cutted the Bussard Collectors to replace them with clear half round pearls like it had the original studio model.
2. I drilled a hole in the end of each Warp nacelle.
