Edit: Guess it is already mentioned in another post

I'm glad it got mentioned again. The only bad publicity is NO publicity!

I heard about the cloaked ships a while back and I was, to be honest, indifferent towards the whole idea. I saw the cloaked KR on Facebook the other day and thought they looked kinda neat and went into the maybe someday pile. Then I saw the cloaked Condor on Mongoose's blog :shock: :shock: :shock:

wow they're awesome!

 

[davyj0427]

I agree

Very nice. I showed the pic to my wife and said, "See, you don't even have to paint these ones." Her thought was to use inks to enhance some of the detail lines.

 

[Finlos]

Inks will certainly enhance some of the details but my concern is that the ink will also ruin the cloak effect

 

[Iron Domokun]

Finlos, use disappearing ink. :mrgreen:

 

[Finlos]

I would... if only I could find it.... :mrgreen:

I've used inks on clear resin 'cloaked' minis before, I thought they came out decently...

Are those Bob Ainsty's sculpts? Not seen them inked before, very effective.

I do like the cloaked D7 alot - although the Predators are also really cool

Yep, pretty cool figures. The one problem I had with them is the resin was very brittle and I had a couple break on me. Super glue fixed them, but still a hassle.

 

[davyj0427]

Do you think that there is a difference in the properties of clear vs. the colored resin.

 

[Finlos]

Nice pictures and I stand corrected. I'll try one to see if I like the effect when I get my cloaked minis

 

[Banichi]

That looks very cool.

 

[Spence]

What a cool effect. I would have never thought of it.
