[The Nylon Gag]

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

I think i have figured out the colours i want to use, now i just have to think about their location on the ship.

As for a logo, still mulling over if i even need one now?

Thanks for your input, its very much appreciated.

Just a quick video with both side engine fairings permanently attached and all the lights hard wired up.

Still blending the fairings to the wing.

360 light test

Thanks for stopping by. ;D

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Morning Everyone,

Thanks again for stopping by and leaving comments, it realy does help me with this thing.

Well, i didn't manage to get back to the MK1, to many sausages, to much beer. ;D

Had a frustraiting week trying to get a direction going for the wing tops detailing, wanted to incorperate tubing, some panels, maybe some other small details.

The biggest problem for me is that because the ship is a bit twisted the two side are not symetrical so this became very obvious to me during this detailing process.

Lets have a look at what i managed to come up with.....PIX

The front 'blend' part of the wings needed someting to snaz it up a bit and add some interest.



Ran tubing lines from the central pumping/distribution hub.





I needed to fit the back detail sections so i could work on the blend area between the flaps and the main wing surface. So i painted the underside of the wing flaps in the same 90% white, grey, silver, buff mix. I had already pre-shaded this.





I then removed the masking and temporarily fitted the detail sections, took a few beauty pixs.





Then moved on to the upper wing/flap blend.







The small pieces are only glued close to the tan greeblie, then the transition piece is glued on the outer edge of the small pieces.



This top section is then floating a bit and will give when the flap is opened.







Added tubing and other gubbins to the top flap assembly.



Did the same for the inner flap but this section doesn't move.



Added some smaller details all over







Then just to see how everything looked a quick squirt of Primer on one side.

Mmmmmmmmmmm ;D







Quick vid.

Wing top, first primer coat.


And thats about it so far, there are a few gaps that need filling on the upper wing, some scribing, some additional panels, we shall see what happens.

Take care

Looks stunning under primer.

Man, the greeblie work on this is just off the charts. So much interesting stuff to feast your eyes on.
