Yep, definitely an excellent job! :thumbsup:

I wouldn't bother with a sticker on the ship but, maybe, one of the bigger (central) trio on the stand.

Not sure about the name USS MARVEL, though .... Maybe USS MARVELOUS or USS (PETER) PARKER? USS STAN LEE is good, too, though. ;) .

Is it just me, or does anybody else think the model should have had more blue color to it?  Spider-Man's costume seems to have a bit more blue than red. Anyway, too late now as everything is built and painted.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Possibly the secondary hull could have had the colours reversed, maybe the warp drive nacelles, too, but she's still a good build! :thumbsup:

And now the final pics: The Display Stand.
Nothing fancy. Just something quick and easy till I can find something a bit better in the future.

That is a fine crossover, though it might blow the Internet since they're on different streaming services.   :wacko:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

I found the following Halloween decorations at a local craft store. I'm debating which one I could possibly modify/paint and use as a display base for my Excelsior?  :unsure:
What do you think, folks? What might look/work better?

Either would work (although my tastes tend towards the spider :wacko: ) but it would, ultimately, come down to the dimensions & which, if either, would give the most support.

Rather than use the round display stand for my Spider-Man/MARVEL themed Excelsior starship model,
I found and bought from Joanns craft store a Halloween themed wood spider decoration to use as a display base instead.
It will be painted black just like the black spider logo on Spider-Man's costume.

Now I'm calling it done. :) And I think it looks much better with this spider stand.  :thumbsup: 
After all, a Spider-Man themed starship needs a spider, right?

The black panel lines came out really well! Good work, mate! :thumbsup:
