Going a little bit of course with the paint scheme. It's not finished by a long way, but this should give an idea of what I'm doing.
Still lots of touch ups to do, but this is essentially all the colours down.
I put a little bit of rust in some of the grated panels. I know this is weathering, but wasn't sure how the copper paint would sit on the clear coat after, so I went ahead and did this. Just like on my Bird of Prey.
Again, I've still to touch up in places.
Camera didn't quite focus here, but I've done these quarter dome bits with aluminium and put a bit of copper on there.
So, not got much done this weekend, but it's just as well as I'm waiting for my wash and clear coats to arrive in the post.
One thing that's on my mind; I'm going to have to attach the warp nacelle grills and the wings AFTER I've done the weathering. This is because I can't apply the mask inside these grills and I can't attach the wings without the grills in place.
Therefore; I'll have to do putty work around those grills after the weathering. Then I'll need to somehow weather those puttied areas (very small areas), but it might be tricky to make it all blend. :-\
