Sttng Borg Ship Paint Job

After seeing some US guys paint their Borg ship I thought I give it a shot too. Looks now much more like in the TV series.

Hey, looks great.
I love my Next Gen pinny as well.

Your ship looks great.
For the diehard Star Trek fans, the exact Borg ship featured on the Next Gen pinny is actually featured in a Next Gen episode where the Borg hijack a Tarkelian freighter  ( don't shoot me on exact spelling ) and start modifying the ship with Borg technology.

The reason this ship was used by the pinny designers, was because it was the only Borg ship and shape of a ship which could be adapted and used to have balls come out of the ship with its design.
A Borg Cube or Borg Sphere couldn't be used because they just wouldn't fit under the glass and do the job.

Anyway, your ship looks excellent.  ^^^

Very interesting. I did not know that. I was always wondering why it was not a cube.
Yes I really like my STTNG but I am going to order the extended drain guides. The side drains are very frustrating.

That looks cool. I like the detail on the damaged areas (green colour). Are you placing LED Flashers in the Borg ship ?

I replaced the internal ship lights with green twin leds with cap. I will try to take a picture next time the borg attack! Looks very cool.
