Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

sprayed the outside of the domes with dullcote. couple of coats.

Tamiya transparent orange inside. Couple of coats.

Perfect. I could sit and watch the flashy lights for hours.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Some minor hot spots aren't too much of a problem, it's for the nacelles in the old 1701. The bubbles I've started with were vacuform clear, and I added Tamiya tint first, so the exterior looks bright and orangey. I've got the VoodooFX LED chasers inside, so seeing a bit of the source will look OK....

Yeah, the tinting is easy, it's the translucency I can't figure out....

Maybe a light airbrush with white?

I've got a crystal clear part that I want to light behind, but want to diffuse the light rather than have the lights sources visible.

But I do need to tint the piece.

Any suggestions? Please?

The pictures of the submissions from this year are amazing. Really, really want to see them in person next time.

So tell me: what are the best justifications to give a wife who only tolerates the modeling, but no interest?

If there's some good ones, I'll be there!

I've seen no evidence that Alfred seeks to use his powers for evil and the domination of Mankind...

But if we have one, I vote we call it "Wong-Hits!" 8)
