Battlestar Gallactica
Posted by Gerry on Saturday, May 14, 2011 9:57 PM

Finished my Battlestar. Just a run of the mill build really. Good for beginner modelers.

I did do one thing nice - Pre-Shading. I primered the model then preshaded panels in flat black. After painting it LIGHTLY with steel I have the effect I wanted. As you turn the model the panels change their reflection or "tone" as some metals do. Hard to photograh but it looks quite nice in person.

 

 

Paints used - generic primer & flat black for shading. Model Masters Steel and Burnt Metal on the hull. A light dry-brush of flat black in the corner areas.

Or go to my web page and view all my stuff.

Looks great. In second pic you can kinda get the idea of how the finish looks and reacts to light
