@NinjaDebugger earlier on they also had no pew-pew-pew lazer beams but that got dropped soon enough, I think. I just went with a gut feeling to get variety, as I couldn't decide if a shorter or longer wavelength would be more damaging.
Perhaps I chose blue for LL because PPC is also blue. Should've gone for that pink just for shits and giggles, now that I thought of it 😄
@NinjaDebugger we could all also go apeshit and paint PPCs in bubblegum pink and so on if we so desired - especially if that throws sand into some pedant's gears 😄
"It's your world, you can do anything you like".
Saying that I know I got my colour preferences set, and am officially offended by the novels using evilly inconsistent colours for S/M/L laser beams, pulsed or pulseless 😝
Back on topic: good-looking pieces as always 👏🏻
Hello all, it's been far too long since I've been on, I hope you are all finding some joy to distract from all of this... :gestures at everything:
Last year I made some Norse Orcs Blood Bowl minis for Agema Minis and Greg has decided to make the stls available, he asked me to let the fedi folks know. So if you are so inclined there's a campaign now running at https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/norse-orcs-3d-printable-pre-supported-greenskins-for-fantasy-football-5312
Be well, stay awesome 😘
Some airbrushing done. Black primer, dark grey on the underside, greyish blue over the airframe and light olive over the wings. Had I attempted a cloudy coverage I'd be happy. In reality I need to get that cleaned up, I lack tools myself.
Paint does make it look better and hides some of the crimes. I've still got plenty of chances to ruin it 😅
Ugly patching done, all the little things installed. The long antenna in the bottom poses some challenges until I get the landing gear glued in. For painting convenience I just want that crap painted separately to avoid even more swearing 😅 Those radar antlers were way easier than I expected, which was nice.
I thought I could start priming today but masking the canopy took way too long. Tomorrow, then, for the last day of a four-day weekend.
Swearing continued with the JuMo 004 assembly and fitting. Then I noticed I am missing half a rudder or tail fin. The latter I try to mitigate with a piece of 1mm styrene but it won't look good. That'll still be better than only the left half 😝
Building is finally far enough for me to think of the painting operation itself. I'll do the wheels separately to maybe save my nerves. To get to that I think I need to mask and seal the cockpit canopy in place. Decisions...
