Re: A Reliant Bash--ISS Amazon--WIP 03/10

Okay, FINALLY have some more updates.

Got a new shipment of blank decal paper and set to work getting them ready.

Using custom registry markings I laid out in Paint Shop Pro, as well as Arthur Pendragon's free Aztec plating for the Reliant.

Was going to use enlarged versions of the decals someone here made for the 1/1000 refit, but have since changed my mind.

All right, basic detail painting is more or less done.

Most of the dark areas shown here are just a black wash over the primer coat.

I also gave the outboard nacelle grills, "chillers", and "intakes" a similar treatment.

I painted the impulse crystal and the nav deflector with an acrylic sapphire blue.

Did the inboard grilles with the same color, then used a black wash to bring out the lines in the grilles.

The impulse engines were painted in red, and then given a black wash as well.

With luck, tomorrow I can get a coat of satin on her so I can start the task of decalling.

Holding off on painting some of the other details until I get the decals down and sealed.
