Hi there As you can likely tell that I'm quite new to this Build Forum, but have been modelling for many years now so I thought I would share a few pictures of my build so far.. I have undertaken a few big builds like this before with the MP4/23 that I have done.... well 2 I have done as had to build another for my father (but that's another story...) I'm also undertaking my First Ship Build as well something that I haven't done before which is quite nice as I get a bit of creative freedom with that, getting things looking the way that I feel is right... but anyway going of topic, Hopefully my pictures have uploaded correctly for all to see, I have added some extra details to the model nothing crazy, just decided to go with a bit of carbon fibre and also like most now adding the extra logos, and I also matt sprayed the monocoque under the front nose, but just the extra touches I'm happy with doing. other then that excuse the messy desk in the photos, lol and please as I say this isn't my first build but is the first time I have decided to go that extra step with details so please any advice would be greatly helpful.. many thanks for checking my build

Welcome to the forum, spectacular work on adding the carbon fiber details; did you use the Museum Collection decals set? How were you able to make the fiber pattern detail stand out so much?

I even tried a matt spray with a clear coat over the top on some extra parts from the mp4/23 to see if it would take some of the gloss off and it worked but didn't look that nice, so left it just in clear coat
