Escape From The Planet Of The Apes Icarus

At first I said to myself why not use custom decals for all the markings and lettering, but after all that weathering it looks awesome!!!

Not getting to work on this as much as I'd like, work and life and stuff, y'know how it is, but every little bit helps.
I realized that the white areas were a bit too white, so I toned them down a little before I add the dark copper burns. The only pure white should really be the scrapes that I'll add near the end. The windows will be the finishing touch.

Template for windows sitting on clear styrene sheet backed with a spritz of gray & flat black.

Wow, what a drastic change!

It's almost a shame to see your nice clean work on the striping and everything get so beaten up, but it really was worth it as it looks very convincing

Yes! I was about to write the same!!

Okay, I just now finished... mostly. After it dries I might make some minor adjustments, and then I'll put on a protective acrylic coat.

Awesome job finishing the Icarus! That looks like a Frank T print.

Last touches. Acrylic coating & window frost. It's pretty much done.
This was SO interesting to do. More fun than I've had since my Seaview.
