Just before Christmas I finished off a couple of scratchbuilds.
Due to other priorities I have not got around to finishing, or indeed in one case starting their paint work. My real life situation is also not stable at the moment and it is likely that I may suddenly have less time to spend on the forum very soon. So it could be sometime before the two ships make their fully painted debut but rather than delay I decided to post them as is; and repost the painted versions later;
(I would also lke to thank AdrianH for his 2nd opinion & advice yesterday re the canon colours of the Valen).
The next one is a certainly irrelevant to CTA, but no excuses other than I have wanted to build one for quite a few years just didn't plan on her being so small. Paintwork started but far from completed.
Besides its becoming a Christmas tradition for me to build a ship with acrylic hemispheres.
The legacy of 3rd Space lives on.
Finally and a little bit faster than I thought yesterday;
I would describe this Blue Star as probably not quite finished yet, need some more subtle highlighting on the edge of the blue. This was my second experiment, tried light blue paint for the patches, but silver just looked better for me and I felt tied in better with the ISA Whitestar scheme as in purple & silver. May still try a light as in "non heavy" blue ink glaze on the silver tho.
