Insane, dude!
;D
Even though we see the background of the room behind this beauty, she falses the sence of scale completely. Looking so realistic and so incredibly detailed, it doesn't let me to comprehend the surrounding like something this ship belongs to actually.
Maybe, You would make a picture with a hand laying on the wing next time, please, or I'm going to start thinking that You're building a real full scale starship to drive to Jupiter on weekends, telling it is a model just to hang here with us, addicts ?? ;D

Disgusting amount of talent in one person.
I hope I have even a fraction of your skills one day.

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Evenin Every Peeps,
Thank you for the comments, at this stage, more than ever, i appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave a message.
Its getting close to crunch time and i am nervous because i could really bugger this up if i don't chose the appropriate final paint pattern.
Only i can decide, i have done maybe 35-40 variations but nothing has 'spoken' to me, yet.
But thats later,
First, we must do some touch ups.
I seem to of missed this back section entirely whilst painting, to much Voddy maybe.
So i was back to the usual routine, mask.
Base colour of metallic grey
Matt black 'scorch' marks
De-mask
I then masked off various random panels and gave them a light shot with some different shades of grey.
After looking at the ship for quite some time i decided something didn't flow right, in this picture there seemed to me that there was a deffinate disconnect between the front wing section and the main wing section
Can you see what i mean.
So i masked off the small intake section on the front and gave it the metallic grey edge, crome silver center, matt black low lights treatment
I then masked the top vents, inserting a piece of paper to cover the inside details, gave them a shot of gloss black then some Alclad chrome.
Then did the same for the rear grill
This pictures for you SOL you wanted one with my hand to proove i wasn't building a real ship
Personally, i think it looks better
Now comes the tricky bit.
I added some yellow and blue masking tape to represent my favourite pattern idea so far
I don't want to cover the rear upper wing details with the colour but i do want it to be an interesting shape and not just boring pin stripe lines, i think they have to be straight as curved just looks random and wrong to me.
I figure that 'Kiko', my pilot, is an individual dude (like me) and wants some colour on his ride he's handy with a spray gun so he can custom paint it himself but he appreciates the asthetic lines of the ship so wants to compliment them and not destract from them.
Got it, piece of cake right.
I need opinions folks, this is driving me crazy, i am, quite literally, losing sleep over this. I think i have an overactive brain.
Help me herdsters
Design with tape.
The missus is in Vegas for a few days with work so i'm 'Home Alone' till early Monday morning, so if i'm not at my bench, i'm gunna be sleepin or cookin, or i might go to the movies to see Pacific Rim tomorrow morning for a bit of inspiration.
You know i've never been to the movies by myself.
OK people, pizzas is done, dinner time.
Let the weathering begin, after a few more little odds and sods.
Stay tuned my brothers and sisters

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Question: What are you going to do with it when it's finished?
Presumably, you're doing this for fun - the joy of building - but you're creating a work of art.
Are there any local museums or galleries that might be interested in exhibiting it?

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Thanks for the advice mate, i'm more worried about the pattern but i think your right, thicker lines and i plan on reversing the colours (yellow main, blue pin stripe) because at a distance the yellow disapears into the silver back ground a bit.
Thanks buddy,
Well, you're are just going to have to come to the IPMS show in Orlando in September,
thats the closest show i can drive too.
I would love to be able to go further but if i have to fly, i would have to make an elaborate flight case for it and this thing i so detailed and delicate i would probably end up with a box full of greeblies, knowing how airlines throw stuff around
Thanks Jonny Boy,
I'm still undecided though. I have masked off the front wings, the side of the engine fairings and the sides of the body but the top of the wings is still causing me problems.
Good question, well a friend of mine is convinced she can get it into an art gallery in down town Miami, personally i'm not convinced but we shall see when its finished.
Thanks 'G', appreciate you stopping by.
Just a few shots from Thursday and Friday, lots of effort with little to show for it.
Masked for semi-gloss black panels, just on the wing fronts, to frame the radarwell, a small panel on the engine fairings and the rear vent.
And the semi-gloss black
Then off with the masking.
Then i took it into the hall way for some beautiy shots with a front engine intake and main engine installed
Thats all for now,
Stay tuned folks

I like the striping -- I think the lines ( yellow and blue ) need to be a bit thicker ,, only a little - 15 % ?

Sweetest scratch build I've ever seen. Hands down.
Couldn't offer you much painting advice, other than maybe not too much color, as the greys are really working well here, and you don't want to draw the eye away too much, as you have a really cool shotgun effect going on here with all the excellent details.

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
That was a very nice Work in Progress to follow, step by step, parts by parts... Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.
The result is amazing !
I can only cry since I won't be able to see it IRL, but I'm sure you'll show it in some exhibit, isn't it ?
