Hi,
So... after half a year I'm going to reboot this project once more, but I think this type will be the last.
The new colors are painted on, this time I painted it in solid military colors, and will make it a marines aircraft.
I added some weapons pod to buff it up, and here it is after the details were brush painted.
Now I'm gathering some decals to add to it from various sources..

What do you think?

Hi,
Thanks!
I hear you, but miniatures were always very difficult to paint for me so I'm doing my best.
The painting may be a bit harsh, but I'm still learning to do it right :).

Thank you very much !
The Command center is my own design, but I was inspired by a drawing I've seen of somebody else's :).

Hi,
In the last couple of months I'm working mainly on my epic armageddon two new armies: Necrons and Imperial guard.
They take most of my hobby time so I can't do "actual" modelling too.
Anyways I would like to share some works with you here as well, I hope you like it.
And would love to hear your feedback.

First to show is the capitol imperialis. Which is a huge mobile command center which can caryy its own defense force.











And some details:

Hi,
Thanks!
I put it aside for some time to work on my epic armageddon 6mm miniatures, but I think it is done.
I tried to fiddle with couple of more stuff to put with, but everything I try to add just doesn't looks right, so I'll call it a done model.
FF I didn't add more weathering, I think that for now I'll put it aside for good ..

Hi,
Thank you very much. I'm still looking for some refuelling lines, they will break the square base very well I think..

Here are some new additions.

Don't worry, I posted the question to get feedback, not praise without thinking :).

What you said is exactly what I think. I got a bit lazy and didn't change the figure pose.
I glued everything, so I don't want to mess with cutting the figure now, but maybe I can add something else?

One idea I can think of is to add another figure, maybe talking to the pilot and pointing forward, so that it makes more sense why he looks there?

I thought at first to add some ammo on the bottom floor, but it will require some work.
This is because the cart in the lower deck is a bit bland, and I added it to fill space..

Anyways, I'm happy you wrote your message, and I'll be happy to hear more ideas, preferably on adding stuff to the base.

Eyal.

Thank you 

It is nearing completion, I glued everything to the base.
Now I would appreciate for some advice on if something is missing, and what I should add to the dio. I can't put a finger on what but I think I should add some more stuff to it.. Maybe a sign, maybe something else..? any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eyal.

Hi,
Yep it's a good advice, but I don't like to redo the base again, and it looks ok with the model, somehow all the light tones work I think.
Here is the figure I've finished for it:




It is taken from Eduard Czech modern air crew set.
Thank for the feedback and comments,
Eyal :).

Hi,
Mu routh painting trial.
After a break from themodel, I started again. This time I'll divide the painting into a couple of sessions. I sprayed the undersideof the Valkyire in light gray, highlighting it in white. The ghosts undersides will be darker.

Now I have a couple of options for the top. Go simple or more interesting. I hae to think, this time is the last time I'm painting this model

Hi,
The base turned out quite ugly after painting, so I scrapped it and started again. This time I used clean flat cardboard and built new panels.
Then I Sprayed it in light gray, and used oil paints to get some tones. I think I'll add some more white to the panel edges.
It looks boring to me, so I'll add a figure, and maybe some equipment below. Also I maybe will add some decals or markings on the base itself.

Hi,
Thanks :)!
I'm slowly advancing on this, and finished the base. I kept it simple and am waiting to get a chance and paint it.

Next I'll find some figures to add to it, and weather the base and the model a bit more.



Thanks for watching,
Eyal.

i think you should try and post pictures via photobucket, very user friendly.
(Lucky I've seen the photos in our own forum .

Hi,
Thank you very much everybody   
I need to do more weathering on it, I'll try to keep it very simple, also will post pictures of the base I started to work on soon, and I need to think of figures to add.

For the decals I started with spraying a coat of Tamiya's clear after the last painting was done.
When dry, I used Micro Set, placed the decal, and then added Micro Sol, I really like this type of solvents, very effective with regular decals.

Hi,
All details were painted, mostly various clear colors, and the decals were aplpied. I took them from various sources, some itasha style car decals, some red stencils from a decal sheet I got from Fulci store, and some Macross decals.

I then washed it in a controlled pin wash with burnt umber oil color, and now I wait for it to dry, and will continue to weather the model and think about the base.

Hope you like, and will be happy to hear your opinions,
Eyal.

Wow you've done much better modelling job than me...
I'm working on this model right now, and built it straight out of the box.

I did try to use their decals, and they just disintigrated when I tried to remove them from the decal sheet. I would be interested to hear if it is my fault or the decals themselves. I didn't have any problems with the replacement decals I used though.

Anyway fantastic job, I can't wait to see the final result.

Managed to paint today also 

Painted some panel in light gray. If I oonly invested some thinking before the painting and building, I would have managed to mask and paint some more panels in gray. I didn't manage to mask what I wanted to paint so well, so I'll have to paint some gray details with a brush.

The blue was mixed from Tamiya flat white and flat blue XF-8, and last I sprayed Tamiya's clear as a base for decals and as it makes the matt colors more lively.
