Title: New project! BSG MKII Viper
Post by: Bryancd on October 29, 2011, 05:05:15 PM
Jamie bought me the Mobius Models MKII Viper kit for my Birthday and I am starting to put her together. Here is the finished cockpit, painted and with sweet dradis decals!  I am not going to put the pilot figure in as I suck at paining people. :)

Cool!  Hey what scale is that Bryan?  Hard to tell from that picture.

Made some more progress today. Defiantly plan on weathering the whole ship to tone down the gloss white base coat.

Cool Bryan.  You are quick at this stuff.  Even when I was growing up, I spent days and weeks building models up.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons afford me a few hours of peace and quiet to build and paint while watching football and enjoying a beer or 3. :)

OK, got most of the decals done and they are terrible! They kept breaking as I applied. I had to use red paint to fix them up after application. But it still looks good, just needs a LOT of weathering next...

Looks great! What do you do for weathering? I'm starting on an X-Wing model and you definitely need to weather those.

Usually just black paint mixed with paint thinner and some paper towels. :)
