(moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build.. (DONE)..

[cylon75]

Now that i finished my battle damaged version i wanted to do a pristine version viper and i chose the pristine viper that starbuck came back in in season 4. There will be no fancy add on on this one except for a few small things that I'm doing to spice it up. At the moment those are adding boxes around the landing gear {Thanks for the idea Ryogal -over on SSM}and making my own gun ends with hole to make it look more realistic. here's some progress shots.

I have the same problem since I want to do mine as custom ships.
It would be nice if someone knew where to get the font.

I believe he has a back log of orders and won't be taking any for a while.

If I had the font I could make my own.

Well i worked on it a little bit today, Finished modifying the guns and did some work in the thrusters to make it look a little more accurate .But now I'm to the point where the paint has to dry good before i can do any thing else.

Today's progress is the cockpit, its 98% done. The 1st 3 pics are of it painted and the last 4 of it decaled.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Got to work on it a decent amount today. Almost got it together

Finished the cockpit out:

Got the main body put together :

Finished the landing gear box (now its enclosed) and painted the engine side interior, black so you wouldn't see white when you look at it from the back in the engines:

Banded together until the glue drys:

Primed ready for color coat:

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

The color is on, nice brite white. I also started to detail the back. I have to let it dry for a day or so than stripe it.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Looks great so far.

 

[cylon75]

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Small update ,the stripes and some detail are being added.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Did the piping on the lower engine's and started painting the landing gear. (the wings are not glued yet just slid in the slots)

 

[cylon75]

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

Just about got all the painting done, a little touch up here and there. Finished the piping on the top engines and I glued the wings on and put on my modified guns and got the landing gear done.

Re: (moebius) Starbuck's pristine viper build

After seeing the pictures that i posted yesterday i decided that i needed to take the paint off the lower engine piping opening, i think it looks a lot better here's some shots of it. ( and yes the piping is made out of brass tubing stock)-Thanks Bar
