BSG Colonial Viper MK I - 30th Anniversary Re-issue

Modeling Subjects Science Fiction
1

Been a long while since I did a sci-fi subject.

I decided to lightly weather it and abandon the old worn out look. This was done with artists pastel black, drak gray and light gray powered and then mixed.

The overall color ov the model is Model Master Camoflage Gray. The red is Model Master RLM Rot. The section just aft of the intakes and the recess on the side of the fuselage is Model Master Jet Exhaust and the laser cannons and exhaust is Model Master Metalizer Gunmetal. The glare shield and canopy framing and the panels on the sides of the fuselage is Model Master Gunship Gray.

The Model has a 3/8" hole on it already, so I used a piece of clear acrylic rod, bent with a heat gun to give the ship attitude in flight. The base is a 99 cent base from Hobby Lobby cleaned up and the edges stain with whatever I happened to grab out of the cabinet in the garage and the gloss black is a generic gloss black out of the rattle can.

I used the kit base decal and applied to my wooden base. To my surprise the balcks match and it just seemed to disappear when I put it down.

Enjoy!

I hear it, I have over 100 kits in various stages of build. And about 100 done and on a wall. right now I have too little time. I am opting to spend time with my daughter instead of air brushing plastic
