About the Build »

The GreenPlate Special is complete. This has to be my most bold, creative and best piece to date. It’s currently my favorite. At least until the next kit. Ha!

The ‘GPS’ is a basic build with seams sanded and puttied. Originally I had painted it in “stock” colors, but felt it could had looked better. I used three different greens on different panels and raised areas to give it more eye-appeal. White was used as a highlight color and yellow-orange was used for the lenses and insides of verniers.

The decals were custom designed by myself. I had been wanting to use a particular font for a while now (font diner sparkly) but hadn’t had a good enough reason/project to use it on. When I decided to go for a retro 50’s look on the decals, that font screamed out to me.

For an added effect, all of the decals were done in white. This makes them stand out against the darker greens.

I added little weird touches to the decals. Check out the “Tasty” decal on the ass-plate armor. The fuel tanks also have various  sayings on them. I have a weird sense of humor.
