GottmitUns205: Expanded Hangar Bay

By Gottmituns205, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

The ship looks very nice as do the rest of course.

For the symbol, you could try a technique I used to put the Mythosaur on the necks of a couple of corvettes. I also will use this scraping technique if I color out of the lines haha. Take the color you want the symbol and paint it on in a rectangle or blob where you want the symbol. Wait long enough for the paint to dry but not completely cure then take a sharp Xacto knife and with the slightest pressure, begin removing everything that shouldn't be there. The symbol paint should be fresh enough that it comes right off and the pressure should be light enough that you don't take the underlying paint off. Have a stiff dry brush nearby to brush off the scrapings frequently. Clean the tip of the knife frequently also. Be patient and only remove a little bit; you can always remove more but it's hard to put it back once it's gone. Once complete, go back around the edges with the hull color to cover any scratches or tidy up the symbol. If you mess up, scrape all of it off and either do it again or paint back over it. It takes an extremely light touch; if you think you're touching the model with the knife, start scraping.

Just a random tidbit.... The Fast Show was shown in the US on BBC America but was called Brilliant! instead

Ha! Really? This is why I added the disclaimer, as I had no idea if it ever aired in the US (I'm in UK).

Mate, I just noticed the back of the Y-wing nacelles, nice touch!

Good job...............I am slowly working thru three sets of wave five right now, and then onto about 20 capital ships. Is that fine ultra detail

or the white models???

Wow... I've got two of Tsalt's/Utar Mark I's and I like Mel's way better now. Great job on it Gottmitus!!

Ultra

Good job then. Just about finished the Imperials , and the rebels I can paint the way I want.

"So you're part of the mining guild then?"

Nice! To be honest, I may end up trying something like that, since everyone has an abundance of TIE/ln. Just need a Mining Guild C-ROC now ;)

So many TIE's that will never get any use, so it is good to experiment. You have a steadier hand than me though, so you should go for some internal spokes. I don't dare...

the sticks that you are using for painting the small ships, are they coffee stirs? I'm trying to find something like what you have used, but not having much luck.

They are actually qtips that have a hollow inside, cut the ends, widen them a bit...and presto!

So I've been busy as of late with life...liberty...the pursuit of justice...oh and commission work!

The decimators are mine, but the Outrider, Falcon, and IG2000 are apart of an order for a Rogues and Villians set I'm doing.

I really like Iggy Pop (IG88). I think I'll redo mine in the near future.

How did you do the Decimators? They look superb.

Just too awesome. All of it.

Base coat was tamiya fine grey primer, the windows were done in vallejo black grey, I washed it with that Nuin Oil from GW, then highlighted with GW Celestra Grey.

Where did you get your cool imperial symbols on your bases?

Going out the door to a very happy customer.

Super happy. Those look so cool. Can't wait to put them on the table.

Mucking around whilst I've been bedridden...
