Zaphod Beeblebrox continues: The BaseI basically used a mix of Turquoise and Prussian Blue for the base colors. ![]() I slowly added White for the highlights and foaming effect. I wanted the base to be water as opposed to dust, picturing my pilot zooming down a river channel or something. Once complete, I added more depth to the water by mixing a little black in with the turquoise color, and shading the deepest spots in the waves and underneath. ![]() I superglued the model onto the base, and painted the edge wedges using a blended gradation from Intermediate Blue at the top, through Wolf Grey to White around the edge. Lastly, I had to paint the Starfleet logo on the front of the ship, and give it a registry number. I tried the writing 3 times and I think it got messier each time, so I finally took what I had! NX was for experimental craft, and the 42 is, well, the answer..... :D ![]() |
