Republic Cruiser

[Sisko]

Well it's funny that we would have a couple of Sci-Fi subjects on the go here lately and damn fine ones they are.

I am also currently working on a Sci-Fi subject myself. I am building the Revell Germany Republic Cruiser from Episode III.

Well building is probably a bit missleading. I actully built it 2 years ago but have yet to have the courage to paint it. Well two weeks ago I started.

I am as usuall picking the hardest paint job imaginable. I am trying to replicate the CGI look on the paint work. After two weeks of masking and painting I have done..........the engines!!!!

The engines have been painted in 6 different shades of metalizer and sealed with a dull coat. I am now doing the hanger doors on the top side. That has been a bit quicker to do. only a week of masking. I should fingers crossed finish that this weekend.

I will include pics when I get a chance.

Here are some pics.

First the engines.

The next is the hanger doors. These aren't finished yet. I still have some more painting to do but you know how real life gets in the way

  Amazing engines, great reward for all the tedious masking. incredible job.

Amazing job on the engines!

I finished the hanger doors but forgot to take a picture before I masked it all up.

Oh well you'll see them when the top and bottom hull sections are painted. I am currently in the process of masking them now.

The base grey is tamiya sky grey and the hull colour will be gunze light grey. I am also going to use tamiya deck tan for some of the other hull panels. This will give it the multi shaded look.

To say it is a tedious job would be an understatement.

See for yourself.

Stunning work on the engines!

Are those thin yellow lines masking tape?

  Unbelievable Sisko, you could right the book on how to build that kit.

Sisko that looks great! I have two of the Rep Cruiser kits sitting in my sci-fi stash at the moment your build is truly inspirational!
