Nicely done sir. Admire your B5 ships too. Very well painted. Bob |

I wonder how sparkles would work on the Covenant ships? |

I have to say, I've not seen a BAD paint job yet, but that's stunning! Not sure if your intent, but I think the blended blue almost looks 'glowing.' Doug |

I started by just trying to copy the studio pics from Spartan games. Ended up a little different but I think you can see where I was going Varnished them with a tamya pearlescent varnish which looks nice, does not show up so well in the photos Andy PS I certainly am speedy!! |

Impressive – and mighty quick. I definitely second that! |

I am working on the humans now, they look ok but just don't have the umph of the aliens. There is only so much you can do with grey. Also because i am having to paint in a gazillion windows they are taking much longer than the prettier alien ships |

G'Day Excellent job Cheers Derek |

They look great! What paint did you use for the sparkle effect? I assume you used an airbrush? |
CptKremmen | 08 Aug 2015 7:42 a.m. PST |
Yes 100% airbrushed. The speckle effect was a lucky accident. Having finished the purple and blue with white highlights I warnished the models with Tamiya pearl varnish for a nice sheen Looked at the pictures of the spartan models and realised they had a bit of a white overspray effect. I used thinned Vallejo model air paint in the airbrush but had the pressure down about 10 lbs which was too low for a thick paint like white. As such the airbrush was kind of clogged and would not spray, BUT by pulling and releasing the airbrush handle a fine speckle of paint would come out, this was an accident but looked good so i repeated it all over the models and now have it in my repetoire of tricks :) Andy PS Human ships are finished pictures shortly. |
