Timeslips ring ship build (space park)

[cylon75]

I did the easy part and put the main body of the ship together last night. I will be starting the ring early next week with a couple of ideas i have came up with for trees.I also have to paint the inner floor before i start putting stuff in.

Idea for trees

 

[cylon75]

I have done the paint on the ring, the green areas are where the trees will be the blue are a few fountains i added and brown represent dirt and the rest is the concrete walk. I also have some building that I'm putting in to.

This is my 1st patch of trees and the building in the ring.

Well i sent about 3 hr planting trees last night and got the inside of the ring done now i have to glue it together latter today.Than paint i think I'm going to tape off the clear section paint it than do the rest by hand (time consuming).

Careful, you could put your eye out with that thing! :eek

Cool ship, I always liked it. Called "Intersun Liner" in some references.

Grabs from my files.

Did some painting last night.I just hope i don't get any bleed though on the clear part,I did pay extra attention on taping it. Not very much color difference from primer to paint. I will finish the ring, both weathering and detail paint before i glue it to the ship -so far so good.

OK here's a shot of the ring painted and weathered with the windows structure with the coat of paint that i did by hand i will have to weather it and clean it up but it will work out nice .

 

[cylon75]

OK the ring is almost done all i got left are the blue stripes .I also weathered the ship it self.And tomorrow i start detail painting. I'm happy so far with hows its come out ,the only thing that i would like to do is make the ring lighter inside, by the time you do all the painting it darkens the inside more than i hoped for.

Well,
That weathering really helps it pop and when you say that you worry about the 'density' inside- I'd also look at is as simply being "noticeable", which is good.
So it's shaping up and you're really bringing one of the more 'unique' ships of the fleet into shape!

Nice.

Nice.

Couldn't put it any better!

 

[cylon75]

The ring is done except for the clear coat,heres how it came out.

 

[cylon75]

I got the ship painted and the ring shot with clear today all i have to do is shoot the ship with a coat of clear and put the ring on.I will have finished pics tomorrow morning.

Looks awsome!Love the weathering.

 

[DarthDuck]

That blue is quite striking in contrast against your weathering. I also noticed you even managed to "weather" the window framing- nice touch. This is gonna be a handsome lil ship when you put it together!:thumbsup

 

[cylon75]

Well its all done, and the flash helps light up the ring so that's a good thing.

In its rightful place:
