Spare any tips for a beginner?

I got to get to painting this bad boi.
But I'm a first timer and I know a few of you are experienced in painting miniatures.


Also, if you can name me this ship, you deserve best comment

USS Defiant.

Take even more time painting it then putting it together. It takes patience.

@DeWayfarer Nope, but good guess though. Is that Star Trek?
This will be the color scheme by the way.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab both star trek next generation and deep space nine.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@DeWayfarer Alright. I actually don't know anything about Star Trek. But I like scifi in general, so I'll probably get there
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab 😆 you have years worth of catching up! Even if you binge watch! 😆

Original Star trek
Star trek next generation
Star trek deep space nine
Star trek voyager
Star trek Enterprise

Just to name each series. Not even the movies.

The original star trek came out in 1966. I have been watching it repeatedly ever since 1966.

@DeWayfarer Sure do. I've been looking at the first motion picture, if I want to start anywhere.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab wouldn't recommend it to start with.

Do recommend a two parter from the original series. It's not only a classic yet it's a remake of the very first episode.

If you can get the first episode, it's call "The cage" yet paramount has restricted it.

The two part version is called "The Menagerie".

Either one is a very important watch for everything afterwards. The second includes parts of the first.

The menagerie is two hours in full. Both parts.

@DeWayfarer oh good, I'll save these so I can watch them when I have time, at least just for understanding.

By the way, the ship is called the Ebon Hawk from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab I actually looked on all star wars ships 46 of them were listed. 😆

Not that one though. Likely because that's a new movie. Haven't seen it either.

Thanks for the BC. Even if I got it wrong! 🙃

@DeWayfarer Actually it's from sort of an old videogame, 2003. The story in the game is definitely worthy of being a movie.

And no worries. Glad to give you bc, as I didn't anticipate becoming interested in Star Trek, or having a place to start in it
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab to give you an idea just how important this two parter is. In highschool they actually showed it in creative writing class.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@DeWayfarer interesting. In what context would you watch it in school?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@caPnAhab edited previous. Yet creative writing.

Don't want to give away the plot. 😊
