NZEOD Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Still needs the roof and outer blastproof doors and offices fitted once the wiring is finished and hidden. Adding a grain of sand sized blue 0406 LED into one of the figures hands to simulate a flickering welder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZEOD Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) The ceiling lights are a single 0406 LED embedded in a bead of UV cure resin. Easiest method ever for doing lights! I totally recommend you have a UV resin pen in your tool box.

Did you use Vallejo or Tamiya? After a satin coat, I used an ultra fine sanding sponge to clean up all the dust and fibers and who-knows-what I accumulated during masking. Worked out nice. Also working on a bizarre Kaiyodo resin Neo Atlantean Skyship. I think it's neat. Yes, those are Yamato guns there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Those hanger are cool NZEOD! The lighting makes them realistic. Sorry I haven't been on the boards much lately guys. I started a new career as a graphic designer/artist. So now I work all day and have harry time to get on the PC, let alone build models (on the weekend now). - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 That sounds great MechTech! Congrats on the new career - not just a new job, a whole new career. I'm excited for you and I have to admit, encouraged when I hear about folks making a change. Gives me some hope for something along the same lines in the future.

MechTech Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks MickyG! Yeah, I went from being a network technician for a couple of decades to graphic design. Another reason I was offline a lot, going back to school for the degree. Now I'm doing something fun. Hopefully that encourages you more! No photos, but my son and I successfully tested out a small rocket to fire from the ship-not on the ship yet though. I also finished the water tight compartments to fit the ship radio in. Maybe some more work this weekend. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teckno viking Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 A 1/12 scale Scifi Corridor build underway. Did a quick LED light test too. Just made a mold of the flooring panel (5 inch x6 inch) i have, so i can extend the full length and width of the corridor for this project as well. Then will be painting, detail and adding RGB LED R/c lights to the piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZEOD Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Painted 5 VF-1 fighters today, all gloss white base coated then various interference coats over that. One in Micropearl to be the 001 Rollout model One in Gold Interference to be the 35th Anniversary One in Blue Interference to be the 5000th fighter One in Blue Interference to be the Blue Training VF-1 from Delta One in Red Interference to be the Red Training VF-1 from Delta The pigments are made by mixing a powder with a medium, in my case I used Alclad II Gloss Clear then I sprayed with over the white base. Next step is the detailing and panel lining then the Decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Z0mBe Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I managed to get the Black Tiger - Block 43 cleaned up and primed. I decided to leave off the canards I had planned. I could not get them to look right and decided discretion was the better part of valor. I filled the canard mounts and re-scribed them. The underwing pylons with drop tanks have been mounted. I figured that this way, given this scale I could get a good fitting attachment underwing whose gaps will be in scale. The ordnance on the underwing pylons and wingtip rails will be added later. The canopy was demasked, polished and re-masked after I realized some of the tape had peeled away during handling. The same was true for some areas on the exhaust assembly. I also polished, colored and Futured the navigation lights on the wingtip pylons. Here's a beauty shot: Business end and underside: That is all I have for now. Comments and criticisms welcome.
