Jester Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well, I had a commission from a client who wanted this very LARGE Urban War Viridian VTOL ship. This kit measures over 15" long, 14" wide at the wingtips, and over 7 lbs worth of resin. It was a nice change up from minis, as this beast is NOT miniature. The final blue coloration is the Reaper Templar Blue. But here is the list of the MSP colors used to complete the kit: Breonne Blue, Templar Blue, Aged Bone, Leather White, Pure White, Pure Black, Lemon Yellow, Fire Red, Shadowed Steel, and Honed Steel. Ah, what fun airbrushing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexxenhammer Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Do the landing gear wiggle if you scratch it's white belly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Do the landing gear wiggle if you scratch it's white belly? Yes, the skids move independently of the the strut configuration. The struts are fixed and there were only two ways to build the kit... closed skids or open on the struts. But I didn't want the skids fixed, as they could break if inadvertantly set down on a surface. So I just came up with a quickly ring system that allowed for the struts to move.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Wow. Excellent use of an airbrush. Of course I'm looking at it and imagining a platoon of Despots rolling out! Out of curiosity, what scale is this in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faraday77 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sgt_Crunch: 28mm Saw the prototype a few months ago over at urban mammoth's, but didn't know it was out yet. Simply stunning work, Jester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoarfrost Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Outstanding. Simply outstanding. You should send a few of these pics over to The Figure Trader. I think they'd really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I so want to do something like this to some of my sons toys. But my wife tells me that I have to play with my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
