Almost 4 months later, but I’m back on this! In case you don’t recall, this is the Industria Mechanika<\/a> release of Scott Robertson’s Orb Ship. The kit’s 2nd edition is coming up so click here<\/a> to get on the notification list.<\/p>\n

After the bare metal base coat which was covered in a layer of gloss Future Floor Acrylic, I sprayed the entire kit with hairspray. When the hairspray dried I painted the entire kit white, let it dry a few minutes, then masked off what I wanted to keep white. What was left I sprayed orange, then removed the masking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I used a wet brush and plastic\/wood tools to chip away at the orange and white paint revealing the natural metal underneath. Then done I did more masking for the caution stripes, numbers, and the symbol on the side of the ship. Before painting however, I applies a little liquid mask with a sponge. That way I could easily rub away the mask making the new marking chipped with the base orange color showing through.<\/p>\n

That’s it for this update. Next I’ll start applying filters and other discoloration steps. I took this last image with a 12 inch\/30cm ruler to again give you an idea of the size of this ship. HUGE!<\/p>\n\n\n
