Another Star Ship

[madmikeee]

As for paint Katsu-san. How about a retro-futuristic approach. Use that kind of "peach" color with some brilliant white and maybe a bright blue, orange, or red stripe or design.

IE

Replace the black bottom with that peach color you showed and the top half white maybe?

I love the coincidence that it happens to be a Japanese site :lol

The ability to plan well is definitely a virtue - but so is the ability to improvise, which you have in abundance.

:lolWhere did you get this pic? It says, The Flying Mammoth Cruiser.
This is an imaginary picture of hover craft for the strait of Dover.:lol
Hover craft ferry service for the strait of Dover was started on 1966.
So this picture must be issued nearly 50 years ago.

OK, I found the source.

Yahoo!??? - ????

It says this picture was for the juvenile magazine issued in 1964.
The year of Tokyo Olympic. I was only seven.
Check the advertisement pics below. Chewing gum 10yen (10 cents):lol
And the next one is the Hot Top of Mattel!:lol

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MIKEEE-san!:angry
You added another idea to my long list of considerable paint scheme.
Huuuuuuummmconfused

In fact, maybe I should paint the most of her part with white just like almost all the cruise ship. It's another very attractive paint scheme for me.

Huuuuuuummmconfused

Tom-san, I need the ability to decide the paint scheme, which I have in absence.:confused

Thanks!!

Give great thought to the paint scheme Katsu-san, there is no need to rush into it. With that said, I am sure that whatever you choose will look stunning when applied to your ever improving masterpiece.

Thank you very much, Kasss Gnarl-san, much appreciated!

My god that's a lot of styrene!

Congrats on still having fingers after all that carving so far, and good luck with the rest of the build, it'll look amazing when it starts coming together!

The solution is obvious: Very few cruise lines have only one ship - just make three or four more, and give them different schemes.

:lol

Really, just about any paint job would look great on it. (OK, maybe not lime green with orange and purple polka-dots. But just about any other paint job.)

:lolOhh! So I can drop that 'lime green with orange and purple polka-dots' paint scheme from the list!
Thank you Tom-san! :behave

I agree with madmikeee on the thought of a retro-futuristic color scheme. Something bold and simple. If it were me, I'd avoid dark colors, because that would seem to make the model "seem" smaller, I can't really say why!

So, to further complicate your decision, Yuumi-san, here are a few more ideas! :lol

Can't wait to see what colour you come up with...I'm sure it will look amazing whatever you do, I think light blues and white could work.

 

[madmikeee]

It amazes me how considerate we are in making Katsu-sans life even MORE difficult with all of our outstanding ideas. :lol

:angryThank you very very much for troubling me a lot more!!:lol




And I want to express my sincere words to my friend and fine people here.

You never know how much I am appreciated and grateful about so many people here are willing to concern to my building of my little craft and sharing the dream with me. I really wish that I could make it as good as every one here want it to be.
I'm really enjoying the moment with you all!!
Thank you very much my friends and I mean it.

I really wish that I could make it as good as every one here want it to be.

The only way to make it better is to make it full scale and fully functional. Even in primer gray it's a work of art.

 

[yuumi2891103]

Thanking you always,

Tom-san:$

[madmikeee]

OMG!! :eek
How in the world did you do this!!

Photoshop. I actually have been away from Photoshop and my 3d Art for a long time. Just no inspiration lately. LOL

If you have any ideas you want to see feel free to let me know and I will do my best to do a rough scheme for you.

 

[yuumi2891103]

Wow! thank you very much for your kind offer!
I'm very much appreciated, sir.:love
