The
U.S.S. Voyager was the second Intrepid Class starship built. It
was lost in the Delta Quadrant shortly after it was commissioned
and managed to survive and return to Federation space seven
years later.
This kit was built with no modifications.
The
basecoat was painted Flat Gull Gray. The major panel details
were painted Light Sea Gray. Phaser banks are Armor Sand; Lifeboat hatches and Photon Torpedo
launchers are Sand.
The four missing Lifeboat hatches were made with bodyfill.
First, masking tape was placed in thin strips around two other
close together lifeboats on the hull. Once the shape was there,
the masking was lifted and moved into place where the missing
hatches needed to be. Then putty was layered to the thickness of
other hatches and allowed to dry. When the masking was removed,
there were two hatch-shaped putty squares, which were sanded
smooth and the corners were rounded with a small file. They are
almost indistinguishable from the other hatches.
Windows
were painted Gloss White or Gloss Black. The divisions of the
windows on the upper saucer were achieved by painting a small
quick stroke of basecoat color through the window to break the
window into segments.
The
RCS Thrusters are Gloss Orange, Zinc Chromate, and Flat Military
Brown.
Additional surface features such as external cargo bay and
landing strut hatch details were scribed in.
The
dedication plaque from USS Voyager. Voyager was constructed at
the Utopia Planitia yards over Mars and received final testing
and launched from Earth Station McKinley.
