Painting Clear Top of War of the Worlds 1/144 Tripod??
Posted by patton45 on Saturday, March 31, 2012 4:17 PM

Not sure why it the piece comes in a dark clear.  the box art shows the triangles around the top glowing purple.

I've reviewed sections of the movies looking for tripod details but I am at a loss as to be able to confirm the purple or how I should leave the clear top.

 

The plastic for the spikes and the inner dome piece show through and don't  look too good as is.

 

 

How did you all finish this part of the kit?

The purple triangles are translucent. I would recommend painting a latticework down then put a clear purple down, both on the inside. (Im assuming this is the variant you have)
