This is the original issue of the model when Deep Space 9 came out. This is currently where the build is at. I will attach a link to the previous pictures. Enjoy.

Nice! I have this but it's technically in my wife's stash. I bought it for her years ago. She says she still wants to build it so I haven't touched it.

Just dawned on me that I posted this in the wrong section. hopefully I can get it moved to the Sci-Fi wip pages. Here is the build so far with a couple of coats of the base color applied. A couple more coats to go.

Hi Darren, I've moved this over to the Sci Fi WIP section for you

I didn't know this kit existed so looking forward to seeing how it turns out

Thanks for the move. I've more or less completed the base color and now onto the other shades of gray for the panels.

Nice progress picking out those individual panels

Still painting gray!

The painting is coming along, , just a lot of figuring out the panels since they are raised and some have been sanded off during the buidling phase. Four shades of gray, then on to some other colors and there we go.

That's a lot of work but it's looking nice

Working on the last of the gray. Then some of the tan panels and the some bits of blue then time to seal this bad boy. Some overspray in some sections and a fight with the Micro-Mask that stripped all of the paint to the bare plastic. There were some choice words uttered.

Sorry about the paint coming up but it's looking great!

Going to call the painting stage done. Just have to figure out how to hand paint the under bleed and the over spray and match the color from the airbrushing. here comes the home stretch!
