Re: StarCraft BattleCruiser (Scratchbuilt) STOP! Primer Time...
So, between still not feeling so great, guess I have the flu and cold mix. Annoying. But still getting a little bit of work done here.
Been sanding down some rough spots. Also used some apoxie last night to fill in some more parts and got that sanded as well.
In the process on re-scribbing the panel lines to make sure they all look good.
Earlier I went out and bought the paint. Decided on what colors I would need. I had coupons to Joann fabric, so went there. Man the spray paint is expensive. 4 cans came up to almost 40, but had 4 coupons for 50% off. So it was about $20. The mirrored silver and flat were bought a few months ago for some tests.
While I'll stay close to the games color, I'll change up a few things as well. I actually liked how the silver was covered with the dead flat. One area might have the light gray with only parts having the dead flat for variation.
In the game you can have up to 8 players, so theres a different color per team. I liked the blue the best, and since I'm going with it being part of Raynor's Raiders story wise, his in game story color was blue as well. Worked out. In game it was a brighter blue, but I liked darker better.
As for the HD version that came out last year, it can actually be displayed on a 4k monitor, if the game detects it. I don't even have a 1080p monitor. But I found a 4k youtube video with someone briefly using a battlecruiser. My computer could barely even play the video, but got this pretty good shot from orange team. So hopefully I'll feel better and it will stop raining so I can get this the final priming and then painted. Still need to finish the base.
