I guess I wasn't done. In looking at photos of the "real" USS Kelvin, I noticed there is a raised structure on top of the Engineering Hull. No idea what it is, but it has what looks like two inlets in the front, so I decided to add it to the model.

I printed out the page with the Enginnering Section and glued some of the pieces together, flat, and made a three-ply lamination to thicken the piece. Then I cut out the piece, cut two insets in the front and colored the edges. After curving the piece to fit the hull, I glued it on.

Not a big change, but it adds a nice little detail.

Now to figure out if there are details to be added to the warp nacelle....

The added detail looks GREAT!!!

This is one of the GREAT things that I like so much about paper model building.
If you want to add extra detail, it is easy to do and it does not cost an arm or a leg.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Finished my version of USS Kelvin

I finally got my Kelvin finished. It's taken me a few months but I think it is my best work yet. I added more accurate shuttle bay doors, fantail, pylons, bridge, bussard collector. An internal structure for the nacelle. Inter-coolers that stick out from the nacelle. The bussard collector looks more like the resin detail set for the plastic model. I had fun rebuilding parts. But, like dhanners said I wish there was a stand for it.
