Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1
I just discovered this thread and all I can say is that this is on the level with the Original Star Wars in terms of a cool original design with so many realistic and believable parts.
If this was the late 70's or early 80's you could no doubt get a job at a major hollywood prop/model company.
I can say I like this type of a design or look better than ANYthing CGI.
Keep up the awesome work...
Wow, thank you so much buddy, i appreciate that, if it was the late 70's, early 80's I would have hair :lol
Thanks for the comments my friends, glad you're enjoying this as much as I am.
Next.....
Masking, painting, removing masking, sanding, repainting, apply new masking, painting again, Remasking, re-repainting, removing masking, sanding, repainting, apply new masking, painting again.........you get the idea.
Painting isn't my favourite thing, mainly because i'm very impatient so I usually can't wait and i mess with them before they are dry and then their rubbish.
But, i'm really trying to be patient. :facepalm not easy for me.

Black primer, X-11 chrome silver first, then future, then hairspray, some sea salt and two coats of the X-8 Lemon yellow.
And removed the salt and then attacked them with a tooth pick, i still have to give them washes and some other stuff.
And various other pieces i painted this week.
I have been thinking about the skin layout for some time, I wanted to keep the bottom layer very straight forward and fairly basic, because there will be another layer of some simple tubing runs and small details on top of this layer.
Some areas will definately need a bit of extra detail, but I think i got a good balance, it looks right to me.
