Zeus-class Warstar

(1/3) > >>

Landlubber:
Here are some in-progress pictures of a Zeus-class Warstar that I picked up at Historicon.  This ship would be used in a Battlestar Galactica-themed game, but I'm probably just going to use it as a display piece.

Here is the model ( only 2 pieces) unpainted (the material is white metal, I believe):



First coat of paint--GW's Fortress Grey:



Black ink wash:



Followed by a dry-brushing of Fortress Grey:



And now, a first pass at the paneling.  Battlestars have a textured surface, not unlike the "aztek" pattern seen on Federation vessels in Star Trek.  The black wash and subsequent dry-brush really made the panels on this ship stand out, so I'm going over them with several different colors:  light grey, gunmetal, and dark ghost grey from Testors; grimy black from Polly Scale, and Codex Grey from GW.



Will probably do one or two more passes on the paneling, and then dry brush it again with Fortress Grey to even out the colors.  Then I'll move on to the engines and weapons.

Thanks for looking!

Andrewchristlieb:
Looking good. I like the different panels they add some good visual intrest.

Landlubber:
Thanks much.  Due to other events, I probably won't be able to post updates for a bit, but I'll pass them along as I can.

Camthalion:
looking very good

Ruckdog:
Nice looking model! Looking forward to seeing how it looks when you are done ;)
