STAR TREK in 1:2400 scale

[Albertese]

Working on the ship again. I painted all the exposed areas black, to fill in any hard to reach areas when I really paint it.

Then I used some rotary tools to eat into the tops of the bulkheads and chew up the edges of the outer hull. You might notice the background is black instead of my usual green cutting mat. I went ahead and took this bad boy to work and used my instruments there. I have rotary tools at home, but a greater variety at work.

This damage stuff has added more thickness than I hoped, so it'll be interesting to see how I treat the lower saucer.

Nice little wreck. Destroyed areas should be scorched, but interiors had some color. Have you considered som yello, red or so bits, as furniture? Just to break the blackness.

Thanks!

As for stuff in the rooms, my thought is that most everything would have been disintegrated/blasted into space. Even stuff fixed to the deck would have shaken loose. So, I don't think I'll include any furniture. And, yes, I do intend to have more color in there when I do the actual paint job. The reason for the black is just in case there are areas that I have a hard time getting to later when I do the final painting. I want them to be black to seem burnt and shadowy and shrink away from the eye rather than have little bright spots of white where I never could get paint to go...
