When I first started (scratch) building models, the very first Starfleet starship that I built was the U.S.S RELIANT. So when a template of the Reliant became available (and yes, there are a few different ones available), I (very quickly) downloaded the one that was designed by @Rawen. I have been wanting to build this model for quite some time.
*NOTE* Granted, this template has a great deal of greebling potential. However, since this is the first time that I am building this model, I will be building this model "AS-IS" (no greebling).
There are 10 sheets of parts in A-4 format. I originally printed the template on letter format cardstock. Unfortunately, I was not able to have everything printed properly. So, I printed the template at 95%.
Here are the parts sheets.
I started with the top skins of the saucer section.
*NOTE* Whilst working o the saucer section, it is needed to add glue strips to connect some of the parts.
*NOTE* When assembling the skin, the builder need to pay close attention to the printed textures and make certain that all of the lines are mated up properly.
The top skin for the saucer is assembled.
I added more strips to reinforced the center piece of the skin and I attached the edge ring.
The template requests that the builder laminates a disc (that is included with the template) to 4mm-5mm.
I attached the disc in place.
