Re: AMT Eagle Transporter-WIP

Looks really cool. Can't wait to see more.
Funny thing is that this Transporter was used in children’s program in Poland. Two characters were flying it Pi and Sigma and they were teaching the basics of mathematics. Aaaa the old days.

Re: AMT Eagle Transporter-WIP

This is bringing back so many memories I tracked down the series on blu-ray, arrives at my door this week!!!

Keep up the fine work! And I will have to remember the trick about thinning down paint to brush paint.

Re: AMT Eagle Transporter-WIP

Thanks, guys.
She's turning out fairly well, considering the bumps I've hit along the way.
Need to redo the kit's decals, though. They're wrong, and there aren't symbols for the sides of the cockpit pod.

More weathering will ikely wait until after I get the markings on her

 

[Quaralane]

After printing up some custom decals to replace the kit's Moonbase Alpha emblems and placing them, I used a fine tipped Sharpie marker to draw in the designs around the RCS thrusters on the landing pads.
I used the same Sharpie to go in and fill in the cages on the fore and aft sections.
With that done, I decided to go in and paint over a few panels with a fresh coat of flat white to just add a different feel to the model.
