Battle Star Viper

[Sherman 18]

When I was digging for parts for some my current campaign builds last week, I ran across this old unfinished build from years ago. Now I'm thinking what can I do with this? :hmmm

Cool a Colonial Viper Mk I. I saw finish building it. If the decals are bad there are places that make some nice aftermarket decals. Then weather the crap out of it. Or go really crazy and do it up as a WWII Navy bird. Here's the link to a nice decal sheet http://starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/1170_57/132-viper-mk1-markings-for-moebius-or-revell-colonial-viper.cfm

Battlestar Viper

I managed to get some paint on it this evening. I sure did not get the seam done very well but hey there is always more plastic out there :v

started off with some steel and silver, then some rubber cement

then pale green and more rubber cement

then white and more rubber cement

then some orange and more rubber cement

and finished tonight with Russian Armor Green :woohoo:

Tapped off part of it this evening and shot some red on it. I think this might be all I get done tonight, just worn out.

Thanks guys. It should look a little different when I'm done.

Did some more taping tonight. Thought just as well shoot some paint.

first color was dark gray Humbrol number 67

then light gray Humbrol number 127, which turned out to be to light, looked white

so I then mixed it with Humbrol number 32 and kinda got a green gray

I then mixed Humbrol number 67 with number 127

I finished tonight with some Humbrol 15

the colors do not want to photograph well, sorry about that. I'm not satisfied with the paint yet, thinking of adding some red, pink and purple. Until next time

I remember those things having scorch marks on them from past battles. Just sayin'...
