W.I.P. - Moebius 1/32 BSG Colonial Viper MKII

Sorry to see that it's still happening.
And I regret not warning you about it.

For the ones where I painted the stripes, I would up cutting the emblems out of the stripe markings. Those, apparently, aren't translucent.

Right, that's exactly what I did. They have a bit of a "roundel" kind of look to them right now but that's nothing a bit of weathering won't take care of.

The decals for this thing are a bit of a bear. They're pretty brittle and Micro-Sol eats right through them; Micro-Set works well, though. It's funny that the solo marking wasn't printed over a white background the way the integrated marking was.

That's looking really cool SC. Man, this build is making me consider this kit. Nice work.

 

[Igard]

Nice fix with the decals. This is looking really, reallly sharp!! Cool stuff. 8)

Still fighting with the decals. I was wondering why I saw several builds of this kit with missing markings; particularly the wing emblems which seem like a pretty glaring detail to overlook... now I know. Oh, well... live and learn.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words of encouragement.

I will most likely get one of these.... I was impressed with the Mk VII and looking forward to the painting stage...

you did a great save on that Yellow Decal ! sad to hear they didn't do their homework.... or at least give us a White decal to place on before the Yellow... which would have solved a lot of problems....

would not be the first Decal on Decal job I have done.... Roundels wise !

Keep up the good work....

Decals (I only lost 2) and the first stage of weathering.

Custom pilot nameplate decal.

Not perfect but not bad for a first try, if I do say so myself.

 

[Grendels]

[Splashcoat]

Let's try that again, shall we?

 

[ModelMakerMike]

Splash!
That is one sweet looking ride!

 

[Igard]

What beauty! Really nice stuff there Splash. I like how she's a little bit scorched on one side, like she's manoeuvered around an explosion. Very cool.

 

[Grendels]

Really nice!

Thanks, everyone.
Thanks for that, Igard, that's exactly what I was going for. It was a bit of a cover-up actually; the wing insignia decal on that side got destroyed while I was applying it and I needed a reasonable excuse for its absence.
