Nice paint work the bottom looks like that took some time
Thanks. About 10 hours from first coat of primer to last coat of clear.Nice paint work the bottom looks like that took some time
Now that's how you do it.Thanks. About 10 hours from first coat of primer to last coat of clear.
No, it really doesn’t show that, at least not necessarily.hate seeing them bare in the raw, just shows that the builder was lazy and doesn't have any pride in his project.
Even NASA and race cars are painted up to show the builders have pride in their build. IMO not painting is an insult to the designers.No, it really doesn’t show that, at least not necessarily.
Unpainted rockets are not my thing, but folks have reasons.
Dang, I guess we all have different viewpoints then. Is it an insult to paint it different than the way the designer has it then? Creativity is not allowed? Just curious.Even NASA and race cars are painted up to show the builders have pride in their build. IMO not painting is an insult to the designers.
No not at all, the effort put forth to paint it shows that the builder is proud of it. Pink, green, primer only anything is something that shows at least they made an attempt to do a "Finish" to show it is Finished to all viewers. To my thinking an unpainted or undecorated rocket is like building a house but never put siding on it or landscape the yard. Build a car but leave it raw steel, no upholstery or carpet. Buy a Christmas tree put it in the stand in the livingroom and never put a decoration on it. I do know many in my club joke about the rockets in the Raw, they just look unfinished and ugly.Dan

Or like a nice house and not spending $200 on painting the garage walls, can you say unconscientious greedy builder?To my thinking an unpainted or undecorated rocket is like building a house but never put siding on it or landscape the yard.

Lol “somewhat”. You could have some fun asking folks to guess what kit is underneath all that.Started life as a Protostar, somewhat modified...
Not so much the paint but the general finish. Started life as a Protostar, somewhat modified...
