Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1
Ello Peeps,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments.
I've googled Concept space ships and looked through hundreds of pictures of some very cool paintings and renderings just to get a 'feel' i'm looking for or an idea of structure and for colour insperation.
I think i'm getting close to a solution, the different shades of panels is part of the look i'm after with colours also incorperated.
But thanks for the suggestion
But anyhoo,
Lot's to get through so this is gunna go fast. There will be a quiz
Already shown you on the video but here's the new detail i added on the back bit.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
This is how the foil experiment worked, pretty bloomin good.
It's actually going to represent a huge sprung loaded ram.
Here it is in position.
These two pieces go underneath the wings to deflect flow over the opening.
Primer
These pieces will cover the screw heads that hold the engines on to the wings
And dry fit in position.
Because of my body 'twist' issues, fitting the rear central flap assembly is going to be a nightmare.
Primer
Didn't like the front much, felt it needed some detailing and i needed to hide some big gaps.
And then the manditory Primer shots.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
Apart from the cockpit and the detail area under the radar dish I think that's most of the building done.
I got my pilot figures in the mail today and i'm a bit disapointed with their quality but nothing some Apoxie scuplt won't fix.
Might start splashing some paint around tomorrow.
Stay tuned
Take care

I have been looking at a lot of googled ships and such to try and help you with ideas, and some of the coolest designes had no color scheme at all. Just color variations in the plating. It would be an easy way to eliminate a problem with an attractive solution.

I want to buy his MMMMMM (6M) brand primer.

You've probably already found them or knew about them, but just in case take a look at Chris Foss work. His use of colour and panelling on his concept ships is legendary.
Ron Cobb I also find a great inspiration, if you're going to go for a more "technical" look to the paint scheme.
I've just got two books from Sparth (Structura and Structura2) which have some stunning compositions.
Cheers
Neil

Thanks for those names Neil, just did a search of both guys, very cool stuff.
During my search i came across this guy Colie Wertz.
Colie Wertz
Don't want to give the game away in case i can't pull it off but i took real insperation from this guy's stuff.

Gagster, your build continues to amaze me every time I look at it. Your model should be in the next science fiction film. Of all the space ship models ever built, none of them are any better than what you have created.:cool
I would love nothing more than to see your craft flying through space in a movie like Star Trek or in Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome if it ever becomes a series.
Cheers,:cheers

Evenin All,
Thank you so much guy's, it mean's alot to me that you take the time to comment.
Sooooooooooooooo, paint.
I've said before, i don't like to paint much because it never turns out how i expect it to, but, so far i am very happy at how it's looking,
I think i'm a little more confident than the last time i made a model, which was about 12 years ago.
I am, in fact enjoying it so far....
But enough of my waffle
PIX
First i had to finish up the tail section.
Added some detail do-dads on the front of the main wings
Finished, i think, building wise, apart from the cockpit interior and exterior. There are some assemblies to add but that's it for the main stuff.
I removed the masking from the hitch assembly drivers.
The back section is going to be the same white mix as the wing backs, but first i lay down X-11 Crome silver, Vallejo Gun then XF-1 Flat Black Pre-shade,
I did the same thing to all the little assemblies
Added some burn marks with the Flat Black on the back wing panels
Gave the hitch assembly drivers a very lite Black & then brown pastel wash.
Future, hairspray and salt, then the White, silver light grey, buff mix.
Hitch Assembly Drivers,
Dry brush, pigment, AK products, drybrush, Finished.
Thats all so far
Stay tuned

Morning Folks,
Thanks everyone, appreciate you stopping by.
Still weathering and painting the back detail assemblies.
I removed the salt and further chipped the paint with a sharpened chop stick
Then i applied several black and brown pastel washes on all the rear assemblies
slowly building up the effect.
These panels are still a bit lighter than the wing back sections, so i will finish them with my AK products when they are in position.
I wanted to see how much the actuators would affect the overall colour balance of the back section
so i did some assembly work.
I also added the fuel delivery tube.
I then attached all the wires for the actuators, these will be painted and weathered later.
I decided to do some more assembly on the hitch mechanism.
I put on the generator covers
Put it in position to see how it looks
Added the hitch ball and the support arms and most of the assembly for a quick dry fit
I couldn't resist so i dry fit all of the wing back details to see how we were looking
I cannot tell you how pleased i am with the overall look of the back section.
You have a picture in your head of how you want it to look but nothing compares to seeing it all painted and assembled.
A quick video.
Dry fit of back details - YouTube
Yes, that is me giggling, it's the vodka again ;D
No, i do not live in a public toilet that background noise is from my fish tank.
I am very very happy with it.
Next is final weathering with AK products and some dry brushing and maybe another wash or two.
What do you think friends?

So I have to know... Will molds be made and a kit version of this sold? I would love to have one of my own, this thing is amazing!
