Tritium. That's the ticket.

Check out Bob Cox's Andromeda....he used reflective tape to achieve this cool effect.

Your right Foose awfully nice job Bob did with that one. I'm leaning towards maybe a bright blue ?

What the heck is Tritium ? Do you mean Trellium from Star Trek Enterprise ?

Apparently you can get that stuff in blue too. He used some of the blue tape on his also, adding some accents here and there.

Here's the entire page showing more pics of the Andromeda, the method, and source for the tape.....

Reflective tape

Hey Craig thanks for posting the details. I am going to check ou the local Autozone and Pep Boys to see what they have. I think this would look pretty cool in the pods of the Odyssey.


Jim

 

[zog43editor]

Yes, make sure you buy the 3M brand reflective tape.

[zog139]

Wow talk about a shameless plug !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well if I cant find a shade of blue that I like, I might take a look at trim monokote. Again maybe blue or possibly then the chrome one? I don't think gold would look right on a gray model ?

Opinions?

Opinions?


Jim

Brush paint it like I said.

 

[kelltym88]

I painted mine with Rustoleum Hammered Green and covered the pods with reflective tape.

Actually Don,
I asked her over dinner a few months ago if I could post a picture of her and she said no... I'll ask again the next time we go on vacation together.

Talking to your action figure collection is an early sign of mental breakdown.

Although I can't see the picture since it's blocked at work, I think you mean assimilated.

They assimilate YOU and absorb your uniqueness. This thread is about the Odyssey right?

 

[zog139]

Yes the Odyssey. Seven of Nine might be extra hot, but those borg ships got nothing on the Odyssey irate:

Borg cubes prove the old Air Force adage... put a big enough engine in a brick and it will fly.

Bonus points if you know what airplane we were talking about.

F-4

 

[SwingWing]

I would think F-104

 

[zog139]

I thought the F-104 was known as the rocket engine with small wings added on afterwards

It'll get back on track sooner or later.

I sure wish I could have brought my Odyssey to NARAM-50 and have Scott autograph it or something. But it was just too long and delicate for me to feel comfortable bringing it.

 

[zog139]

Were just trying to have a little fun ...sob.....sob.... Why do you have to be so mean Scott ! :kill:

How's the painting going Jim?

Resistance is nuts....

Yep, F-4 Phantom....

I would say that the "BUFF" runs a close second.

 

[user 13]

The F-104 is the widow maker.

The F-4 IS the brick

The Buff, they didn't have a big enough engine, so they used 8!

Landru absorbs you, Borg assimilate you. The difference is FESTIVAL!

Actually I am putting the finishing touches on as I type this. Should be able to put Future on tommorow.

[mjennings]

I'm getting pretty close to finishing My Odyssey check the build thread. Hopefully I'll get some paint on her this week.
