Dark Star Bomb 20
- Thread starter Lee S
- Start date
Almost done, a couple of chrome pieces left to clue on. Had to take some liberties on the top and back end as there's little/no reference. Added a clamp looking thingy to the top. Still trying to decide how to weather it, in theory it should be clean and new, but that always looks wrong.
I'm telling Production that you aren't working, but rather that you're doing these sort of time-wasting things... unless you agree to some sort of blackmail to be named later.
Weathering weathering... maybe a few minor streaks and some vertical scrapes, but that's about all. Hit the major corners and focus on the attachment/grabby bits? Bake out an AO map, maybe a difference map for the spec break-up... seems a bit even.

Thanks Gene, yeh I fully expect to get a message from Greg the day after I add the weathering
Colonial Movers and/or Eagle Laser Tank are next to finish, just depends on which gets the missing parts first!

Wait, are you saying it looks CG Atleast I got some good looking Depth of Field.
It's REALLY good to make something 'real' for a change, my eyes keep getting confused at not looking at a monitor though.

Yeh, these real models all look fake to me. I went back to a sculpt that I started with Richard, and though I haven't got a model to pose for me, it's a hell of a lot more fun right now than firing up Maya or modo or LW... but so very strange.
You know the funny thing is, I actually do think of the end result of CG techniques to try to suss out some painting and such.
As for Mr Bomb here, fall back on the old trick: put it away for a bit. Think about it without thinking about it, then bring it back out in a week or so. I'd bet you'll hit on what to work up, and maybe you'll have heard from Greg.

I'd say there's some panel variation along the sides, looking at the first screen-grab in post #12. It also suggests that it's white or very light overall, with a darker grey along the top section and front face. On second look, it can't be white-white, as the backing to the '20' signage is lighter.
Still, killer work!

Glad the tank worked out for you. Great build!!
The Academy is obviously a re-pop of the Tamiya as the Aurora kit is missing many a detail.

My S-Tank finally arrived, so it was build time. Very quick and simple but still a few surprises. There's still a few bits I couldn't ID but I'm more than happy at how close it is. A few bits will get added after they are painted and a few more after the dull coat as they are very much chrome. No idea of the color, it could be white but I'm going with a pale grey.
Wow.
I think you've recreated something that hasn't existed in 35 years. :thumbsup

Lovely work!
Maybe for weathering, some grease streaks and a few worn areas of bare metal on the clamps where they would have rubbed against other equipment?
I'd love to have some of those "Caution - Thermostellar Device" labels to stick on various bits of hardware around the house and workshop!
