With another six hours spent today, the decaling is complete!  It's kind of amazing to have finished this step after looking at 161 decals and thinking "Someday...", and having Someday be today.

     To put it all in perspective, a year ago this day I was just putting together the lights for the warp nacelles... Wow.

     The final steps are:

• Lacquer the ship, sealing in the decals

• Apply any refinements or corrections to paint, decals, etc.

• Mist the ship with the primary hull color to blend everything in

• Apply a double-coat of lacquer

• Paint and lacquer the stand

• Throw the Voyager Party
