This
kit is the Cardassian warship Vetar. It was commanded by Gul
Evek. His ship was damaged in the badlands while tracking down
Chakotay's Maquis Raider.
This model was built straight from the box with no
modifications. The decals included with the kit were very
inaccurate so I will eventually make some corrected ones of my
own.

The windows were painted Gloss White, and the small details were
painted with Intermediate Blue.

The
deflector, the pyramidal disruptors and triangular warp hydrogen
collectors were all painted Flat White, which was allowed to
dry. Fluorescent Red or Orange were painted on over the Flat
White. This caused the fluorescent color to be the brightest it
could possibly be to simulate light, without actually wiring the
model for lighting. If the fluorescents had been painted over a
darker color, even as light as the hull color, they wouldn't have turned out as bright.

The
hull color started as a custom mix of Mat Cavalry Yellow and Mat
Military Brown. A recipe card held against the raised panel
lines allowed me to mist on Dark Tan weathering patterns with my
airbrush. I actually airbrushed the edge of the card, and
whatever paint misted on the model is what it got for detail.

The
Galor Class was awarded a silver plaque at the 'Maritime Modelers
Meet' Show and Contest, 2001, for the Sci-fi & Fantasy
category.

At
the conclusion of the Awards Ceremony, the Galor Class also
picked up best of sci-fi/fantasy. I believe this award was
chosen by all of the judges, one award for each category.
