A modded "shadow" nemisis

[Marco Raimeous]

Ok, I was making my new Nemisis when I thought it should look like a cross between a shadow omega and a warlock. So I did a bit of modding and this is what I came up with.

Note: I am not quite sure how to paint this guy yet so any suggestions are appreciated :wink:

Tell me what you think

Tasty. Paint like an Omega-X, Shadow skin colouring and a few red lights...

For my Shadow fleet, I used a base of dark silver, over which I sprayed a light coat of black to give the mottled effect. Here's what that did to one of my Scouts.

The alternative is to paint the dots by hand - good luck if you have the patience to do that!

very nice 8)

thats how it looks in the ships of the galaxy .. more or less

Nice I did a similar conversion based on a Warlock hull.

I paint my Nemesis by dipping an old toothbrush in black paint, then flick at about 6-inch away on grey basecoat.. Repeat until you're satisfied. It really gives you that random look.

Nah, just 45-minutes per scout and 2 hours per Shadow Vessel.
But then you also get that creepy organic look to it.

couldn't you just lightly spray it with a black spray can.

Or you use an piece of an fine net tights from your woman and lay it over the dark silver/grey (whatever) based ship. Then you spray it with black. :lol:

That is exactly what I suggested.

As for using your lady friend's tights; good luck persuading her to part with them, bearing in mind that she's probably not getting them back unless she likes them in black. Alternatively get her to buy a pair for you - or buy your own and watch the shopkeeper's face. :lol: Nylon mesh curtains might work, too, but don't provide the same amusement possibilities...

hmmm..its an argument. :lol:

Or...:idea:8) I steal it secretly and silently from my girlfriend´s wardrobe and when she miss it sometimes, I say: "the dog, the dog was..."

(Gods men are sneeky)

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Maybe its the adrenaline rush for some guys... I can imagine how a girl will react if she finds out. I'm not that adventurous, mind ya... :wink:

That'll teach me to read things probably.

get several packs for your good lady and a pack for spraying or use a tooth brush.

 

[katadder]

wait until she gets a ladder, use the old tights (washed of course)

 

[Shadow Queen]

Im not going to offer anything to anyone.

I was accually thinking of painting it parcially organic (around the spikes and a large portion around them) and then having the rest of the ship normal. I normally play vorlons so I want to experiment with semi non organic paintjob. (I will probably go with the hang painted spots thought because all my vorlons are hand painted and thats just the way I roll)

I found a few pictures of people using optical illusions in there paint to show lighting AKA using light and dark tones in different spots which is what I want to try with this one.

Any suggestions on the easiest way to achieve that illusion?
