Kazon Torpedo model kit & contest entry

[Just Mike]

nice work Just Mike - paint job loos good.

You going to add some black/dark gray chips to replicate damage?

Maybe. I don't know if you can tell but there's simulated wear all over by drybrushing on some steel over the edges of some of the structures.

 

[Just Mike]

just wish the lighting was better in my room.

 

[Grendels]

Try taking it outside during the day time and take you photos there. Good lighting that way.

 

[Just Mike]

hey, you're right! Thanks!

 

[Igard]

Oh yeah, that looks good Mike. And I thought it looked good indoors!

Sorry to be such an annoying noob with all these questions, but could you explain the dry brushing of the steel? Is that a pigment that you just apply without thinning?

 

[Just Mike]

yup. that's essentially it. Just take a little and brush it until there's almost none left and brush in rapid, almost vibrating strokes. I did this just a very little bit on some of the edges.

 

[Quaralane]

Looking really good

 

[Grendels]

She is done up just right! So right I had to go track this model down and add it to my stash......

came out real nice mike. you just inspired me to finish mine which has been sitting in a bag for about 6 years. i get what u mean about it being an obscure subject with only being in the one scene in Voyager. However, those often make the best models after all how many times can you see a 1701 done. something different is always good. nice work.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Very cool! makes a huge difference taken outside!

 

[fumblethumbs]

Looking really good Mike. I had never heard of this one before. Thanks for the OOB review.

 

[Just Mike]

looks like I won't be entering this one either. I ran out of Yamiya dark yellow and the retailer is out. I can't mail order any in time.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ahh man, cant you mix it? ???

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

I thought it was all done?

 

[Just Mike]

Ahh man, cant you mix it? ???

Tried. It comes out too brown or too yellow. I even got a salmon color.

There's always next time.

 

[Quaralane]

Sorry to hear that, Mike.

 

[schweinhund227]

Come on! Enter it anyway!

The goal of this Contest isn't Perfection! But completion!
The journey from the Box to the shelf!

Make sure you have 5 pictures of it. You never know? The stars could be on your side?


Just saying!

 

[Quaralane]

Norm's got a good point here, Mike.
And what you'd gotten done did look pretty good.

 

[JMac]

I think it looks sharp. I have to agree with the other guys you should enter it.

 

[Grendels]

So do I, it looked pretty good!
