Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Afternoon Movers and Groovers ;D
Thanks for the comments, I appreciate you taking the time to write something.
Glad you like the colour choice, some of the other colours are prooving rather difficult to decide on, the whole back section for example, i have painted several different shades, some highlights and some shadows using bright brass, crome silver, aluminium, steel and black. I'm then going to give it a very light base coat, but i'm still undecided on the final colours of the whole ship so i've had to pause on the back section until i get a better idea on final colours.
But I'm sure a solution will precent itself when the time is right. 8)
Skinned the top center bits of the wings using 0.020" styrene sheet. These are just taped into rough position for now.
Next, i started work on the radar system.
This is the main base to the ship, the skin surround and some of the internals.
Assembled with the radar base, which is a bike wheel, the rim sanded away and with an additional back plate added.
I then started a frame for the main dish supports
Then i attached the main dish elements which are made from three bike radiators
Then the LNB, can you guess what it's made from?
I then just started layering more small details all over
And in position, does it look too big to you?
Maybe with a primer coat it will blend a bit better.
Back to masking, painting, removing masking, sanding, repainting...........etc.
More soon
Take care
