Okey dokey then, pics requested and delivered!

The first wave of aztecs are masked on the entire secondary hull and both nacelles and the second, slightly darker, tan/grey has been sprayed. The effect is SUPER subtle and doesn't show too well in the pics. Made progress with the main impulse engine too, still refining it though.

Cheers everyone, here's a few snaps:

Quick question: Do you cut the masking tape on the ship or on the workbench? Sorry if it's a redundant question. I admire your patience and skill, Soong!

 

[ZOMBIEREPELLENT]

AMAZING WORK! I can't wait to see this finished!

I would normally cut this type of masking on the ship but it's cast in clear styrene and I dont want to risk creating hair-line light leaks all over the surface by cutting through the layers of paint, so it's all done on a mat and transfered instead

Cheers for the continued encouragement guys, more to show soon I hope
