Thanks PB for the correction. I new someone was gonna give me hell over that ! I hav'nt figured out the markings or color yet. Black just seems so-------Earther ?
"organic" shape
I'm noticing a more "organic" shape trending in some of your recent designs. I gotta say I'm really liking it.
Dark purply-black (or greeny-purple like those pearlescent paints that color shift at various angles I've seen some people use??) Maybe go with a sort of "reptilian" motif?? Maybe "scales" on the finish or some sort of alien reptilian looking markings of some sort, weird lettering, symbology, etc?? I'm thinking sorta like a "Torellian Invader" sorta thing, but toned down a bit and darker... bit more "mysterious"?? Sorta like a darker version of the original Trek Romulan Bird of Prey... Let your imagination run with it...
Later and KUTGW!! OL JR
I gotta tell ya that's not a bad idea !! The more I think about it the more I like it! Been awhile since I've done pearl paints but it might be worth a go here.-------On Masoom, a small competition had developed between the two species. The Earthers assigned to Berserker squadrons began to decorate their ships. The Sa'Atchi, not to be out done, and not understanding the concept, also painted their Interceptors in decorative colors. It seemed the SATs had the eyes for art.
I like the idea of it being understated. That makes for an interesting challenge with the markings---if any--too. The big challenge might be getting it to look good and photogragh well too. Gonna have to tinker with some ideas. It seems I'll have time, since the sanding and prep work are going to take a while. I like the idea of a dark base color---I guess in space a dark color is a lot less visable. That brings up the gloss or flat question. Flat paint shines brightly against a dark backdrop when lit with an external light source---see WW-II night fighters/bombers---HMMM? Active light bending paint. But , how does it look inactive? Challenging !!!! I LIKE IT !!!!----H
Is that the nose cone your gonna go with?
Looking great! You do awesome work!!
DUDE !! I saw your last build. Outstanding, That's by far the coolest most imaginative paint I've seen in a long ,long time !!!
OK, that's more like it, now it's a Berserker. Awesome buildup, mad modeling skills all the way around .
This is an awesome build!!
