the SS Rabid Empanada -- a spontaneous scritash

[urumomo]

The full pattern .. for now .. could be different in 20 minutes ;D





This Future drys like a pastel --- all the gloss is unsurprisingly knocked out by the colorants ..

 

[urumomo]

didn't really do much on this last night .... at all 8)

Removed the masking tape just now from the topside after checking and finding it melding with the clear-coat ( Future - of course : ) ....
That blue ,' low-tac ' 3M painter's tape .. -- left me with a mess .

The Tamiya and Micron tapes don't provide me with said enjoyment of more work-making ;D so we will continue forward without the triple Em ...

The inks definitely affect the cure time of the Future .
I'm assuming it's the addition of the alcohol solvent of the ink mix .



Good time for a pic before she's re-masked :





Ciao

Fascinating

 

[Klaus not Santa]

That airbrush stuff looks really great man!

 

[urumomo]

;D ;D

Hey , guys
Thanx , Klaus

Changed direction ...

I had to repair a crater up-top from the masking tape assault .
Then I got out the handy rubbing alcohol and removed what went from ick to ugh down below

Currently :




The leading edge is still pretty empty ..

Pastel and boring

Excellent. Trippy, but excellent

 

[urumomo]

;D ;D Cool ,
Trippy is good

 

[Jason Abbadon]

SO cool.

I just can't get over how retro and futuristic this looks at the same time. Very 70's... 2070's

If you are so inclined to add a little internal detail this thing is screaming for a couple of long skylight windows over a dance floor with a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. ;D

 

[urumomo]

Ha Ha ;D

Awesome -- that's the vibe I'm seeing too .

Total party-barge !


I'm currently building the hanger -truck for the Giraffe dio but I'll probably do some more on this one tomorrow .

I ordered some more ring magnets to allow me to mount and dismount the main engine at will .

............... Can't wait to start on cutting up the lighter(s) for the windows :

 

[urumomo]

installed a couple of 1/2" ring magnets to allow removal of main engine .

Epoxied to a nut and screw prior to being embedded in Aves epoxy sculpt ( nut is for increased magnetic pull -- really unnecessary , but ... : .. should be about 10 lbs of pull 8) )




They influence each other even at this 170mm distance -- turn one and the other aligns 8)



... sorry for the blurry pic


Installed -- auto - positions components into proper orientation ;D








I've been wanting to attach the engine for a while but didn't want it in the way of the remaining work ....


Cheers !

[Quaralane]

Definitely shaping up here

 

[Hagoth]

Ha! Epoxyed bolts for engine separation! I think they use explosive ones for that function in real life ;D
...but these seem to do the trick.

Looking ...intriguing. 8) 8)

 

[urumomo]

;D ;D


I've been watching a lot of videos on the Apollo program and the Saturn V .


I was thinking ....

The tanks are liquid oxygen and hydrogen and they add ' Nano-Vapor-Bits TM ' ( stored in peripheral , cylindrical tanks inside the combuster body ) to create a super bright rainbow stream from the exhaust --- like a Lucky Charms comet ;D ;D

LOL

[urumomo]

should be sooner than that . I've got that and the Giraffe sitting next to my desk to stare at ;D
I'll probably finish up the Giraffe dio first ,, who knows .



Check in on my Jagdturret build in armor ! ,, that's what this weekend will be about .
....... then I'll probably start up one of my IJN kits , heh heh


I need to finish at least one - I'm still planning on attending Modelmania 2016 :-\
