1/200 SA-43 Hammerhead

[nicholassagan]

I was approached to do a small diorama featuring the SA-43 Hammerhead Fighter from Space: Above and Beyond. Since the client asked for it in 1/200, I figured it’d be easy enough to just use a 3D print and now worry about doing a production of Hammerheads in this scale. There was a small issue printing from Shapeways but it was easy enough to correct with some styrene and some putty. (However, I now have plans for 1/350, 1/144 and possibly a new 1/72 kit in the future…) This commission will have the fighter flying over an asteroid styled base.

Was pretty sick past couple of days but managed to fire up the airbrush for short period of time. Base coat down and asteroid base finished. Slowly but surely.

Nice ass teroid.

That is a good way to display that piece!

Some detail painting done, dark ghost gray splotches (that don't quite show up), a clear coat, decals and a cool gray wash were added! Next up flat coat, pastels and another flat coat!
