Blackadder's Fun and Games

Perhaps I should stick to what I know but this was kind of fun:

I wondered how long it would be before that green backdrop would be replaced with CGI.

Ha!

I've been busy of late tiling my bath but I had to express a thanks for all the replies. I'll be doing some painting (on the model) today and with hope a proper update later this week.

Lipstick On A Pig:

Ugly as a Warthog most definitely and I finally found my antique can of Krylon 'Rust' Primer this past week; now I can begin painting the detail.

So with the masking tape removed it's a bit of a letdown

I plan to activate my airbrush later this weekend and see what I can do to perk these images up.

The Assault Door Lacks Panache:

It seems I've been too conservative embellishing the front door. Besides the ho-hum paint job the loading ramp is rather bleak so it's back to the drawing board to try to perk up this dismal effort; in point of fact the whole nose of this work is pretty bland.

Whom I kidding; I don't have a drawing board but instead....

Eureka! I've found it while contemplating my next iteration of the loading ramp I've just thought of how I can extend the ramp to make the egress more user friendly.

And the paint erosion needs to be toned down a tad as well.

Assault Door Redux:

Oh yes much more business like. I had to fake the sensor units on the doors as the images I have are pretty vague

and there is only one that I can discern on the left side of the nose.

The right one is a pure fabrication I put in just for artistic balance.

More painting to come but I had to see how this would look before I continue.
