New month, new #BattleTech #MiniaturePainting project: an Overlord-C DropShip by #IronWindMetals.
I had already bathed it and the landing struts, yesterday I sanded the mold lines off the legs and their armoured doors. In addition I primed the space-worthy Fabergé egg and that's all I had time for. Maybe I get to prime the six legs tomorrow and start on some two, three greys on the hull.
It'll get some jade-green highlights for reasons. Maybe self-made stencils too. Maybe. #WIP
Three different greys on the DropShip, trying to get some panel variety with the airbrush. It's not perfect, but maybe it can be worked on. Some or most non-panel bits may end up being done in my "bare metal" dark grey. And in case you didn't guess, I'm Indiana Jonesing this whole thing 🤓
The landing thingies need more trimming before they'll sit flush in those slots of theirs.
Landing struts in and initialized, looks much more like a real DropShip already. I only had a bit of time again today, so just one of the things got painted dark grey (RLM 66) for the upcoming bare metal look.
All those cables/hoses in the mechanicals, three per piece, will be probably an overall mix of reds, greens, blues and rubber grey for little variety 🤔
#MiniaturePainting #WIP I spent over two more hours on the bare metals, highlights, cables/hoses (rubber grey, red, yellow, green, blue) and the armour panels for the landing struts. Also, but not pictured, the engine nozzles in tan earth like on jets planes.
I think I'll do the gun turret bits that are now light/medium grey in jade green next. And then... I want to make a CJF stencil, but am unsure of my P("success") function's return value 😅
Gentle progress with a few jade blocks, some USAF light grey lines for highlighting here and there, and yellow ochre caution stripes over black grey on the jaws of the landing gear bay doors. Got to be cautious.
The weapon arrangement on the mini is weird, comparing physical bits to the Sarna stats I'm short two UAC/20s and all three LRM-20s (with Artemis IV but you can't see that anyway) 🤔 I would really love to add the CJF insignia here, but but but.
