Thank you sir! I have thought about trying different sealants (i.e. clear coats to see how well it would work on the templates before building and or on the model after building it). However, I just have not gotten around to it, yet.Looks really freakin' cool. I wonder, if you "misted" it will a Grey Spray paint, the panel lines would still come though, and you would (could0 get one hell of an effect. I'd practice on a printed sheet first though.
Thank you sir!!!The model caame out really nice. Better than I thought it would, not because of your skills, but I thought model itself could be lacking. You made it really come out nicely!
This model is the very first paper model of a battlestar, so it is a piece of paper modeling history. It is great that Gearz added optional parts to flesh out the engine section. This was a very clever move. The texture was derived from a collection of close-up images taken by Jim Creveling who made a stunning replica of the original studio miniature. The only thing I did not like was that the markings were left in black and white. So I Gimped the colour back into the parts and send the results to Rhaven who then put them to "good use".The model caame out really nice. Better than I thought it would, not because of your skills, but I thought model itself could be lacking. You made it really come out nicely!
Thank you sir!!!Wonderful build! Scratch-builds like this one push the boundaries and show what you can do to turn a vision into reality. The additional arms look like the Battlestar is gliding through the air, like a hawk with his wings spread wide open or a seagull. The lines are crisp and clean and the body is straight. Very well done!
