So, its been quite a while since I have posted anything, but here goes.....
My current W.I.P. AMT's 1:350 Klingon Bird of Prey.
Mostly OOB, except for the cannons, which I scratch built from brass and styrene tubing.
I started out painting from the callouts in the instructions, but soon realized that its a very "vanilla" paint scheme and after a bit of inspiration from the many others that have been done, I began to "paint outside of the box".
I still plan on adding one more shade of green or grey to a few feathers on the topside in addition to other small details such as lightening the inside of each panel to add a more aged look, rust spots, washes, etc. Still a long way to the finish line....
Also, per the instructions, I painted (one side) the cannons MM gunmetal, which I think I hate....I may change to either a shade of grey or a shade of the base green color (pale green)....Thoughts?
Thanks for looking, questions and comments (good or bad) are welcome!
