chrono Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Not bad at all! But that surface better get ALOT of extra detail. 369345[/snapback] A few thousand panel lines should do the trick. 369349[/snapback] Well DUH! 369439[/snapback] I was almost thinking making them myself if they weren't done already But seriously, I imagined that random panel painting technique used on that ship. Lots of masking but it would look so awesome! 369489[/snapback] *imagines Sdf-1 looking through a microscope while cutting out panels on a mask* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honneamise Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I have got the ARII ships too and I have figured out if I try to convert that boxy ship into something decent I could as well scratchbuild a new one and, while at it, increase the size to make it more impressive on the shelf. So, that one looks very good so far and will probably save me from months of puttying and sanding if I buy it. But I can imagine how much work has to be put into it to make it really convincing, so I doubt the price will be anywhere around $50, that´s probably solely the price of the resin for this beast! Like Sdf-1 said, around 200 or even more will be likely.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make them just how they are, only putty the depressions on the parts etc basic stuff just to get some more modeling experience and stuff on the shelves. But for your scratch building skills, you could make them whatever you'd want to. ^^ Though, yes, they're maybe not even worth modifying. Man, you gotta scratch build us some other Zent ship in that big size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carrier ship is SUPPOSED to be box-shaped so I have no big problem with this one as well. All in all the 4 ARII kits are not among my favourites but I´m still glad to have them.

honneamise Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Looks like this one is just about to change from "quite nice" to "must have".... Last time I visited the Scale Solutions website there weren´t any infos about this kit. Has anybody here heard about price/availability?

Sdf-1 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I think it's better to putty and sand this way, as said earlier on this thread. But your idea is awesome. you could still modify it that way I believe. Needs a lot work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
