Today was one step...
Future...













tomorrow- decals...

Every sci fi models needs Future....





Does it have a lot of decals? The paintwork seems quite extensive.

Looking Really good Stick!

Yes, there are a few decals, some being kind of large... I should have them on this afternoon.

Decals on.... lord this thing is full of compound curves and steps and such... thank goodness for Micro Set, Micro Sol, and Solvaset for the real buggers...

















I gotta get these suckers with a coat of Future now to even it up before the final topcoat...

Nice - I didn't realise how colourful these things were in the films

She's ready for launch and action. Looking really nice, stik! Question - in the 3rd photo - are those decals on the gridwork?

Thanks guys!

Port, they changed the model's look during the different films.
In the first movie as Amar, this is how it looked


and for VI, as Kronos I they modified the model, and more colorfully...

Yes, I left the top superstructure loose for the decal that goes in there. Today I added a top coat of Future over all the decals to even it all up...

Today I added another coat of Future to seal in the decals before I do an washes and a top coat...









Tomorrow I should get it finished up....

Well, I think I am gonna call this one done for now... although I still do need to figure out something for the impulse engine glow...

Today I did a very subtle wash in certain areas, and then a topcoat of Humbrol Satin. Lastly I painted up the base of the stand to resemble some sort of arid planet, just to give that some visual interest...













I think that I will try to do some more photos tomorrow against a dark background....
