How did you do the CR90?

Nice job on the AF mk2! Love the green & white/lt grey on there.

The corvette really is a good choice; it's both a mirror of the original paint scheme and reminds me quite a bit of the consular cruiser in Episode 1. I've seen one or two like it before and it's really swaying me onto the 'more colour than gunmetal' bandwagon when it comes to paint schemes.

I don't know if it's just the perspective or the colours, but the Assault frigate looks a lot longer and more proportioned than the ugly bulbous ship I normally see. It resembles the renders that I've found for them online which does the whole thing more justice. I like it. This feels more Freudian than I'd like.

Bottle of red and a fine tipped brush?

Thanks Vykes! I agree- the Guppy looks a bit more "sleek" than "fat".

For the Corvette, I used Vallejo Air Red- I forget which specific flavor of red. Then I used "London Grey" for the trim, and "German Grey" for the dark areas.

The Guppy was primed with "Light Grey" Vallejo airbrush primer, and the trim was done in some awful Tamiya green I had laying around. I could not get it mixed well, so it was a hassle. The grey trim is "medium grey" el cheapo hobby paint.

Both were washed with CGR Painters' Magic Mudd.
