I built this Resin leviathan back in March last year. Took several months to build and pushed the limits of modelling abilities and patience. I finally got round to weathering (a few cotton buds later) and detail painting this enormous Imperial Destroyer: 38" x 24" x 12" (BIG) 10kgs Blockade runner & MF:

Hi folks, I was going to save this until it was finished - I'm loath to clutter up the forum with yet another WIP thread when I should be finishing off some of the things I started last year - but I could do with some advice. To wit: I'm building Bandai's tiny little Salamis light cruiser and it's going OK, but I'm not sure if my paint scheme works: (Click for bigger) I think the green is OK, and the red on the inset prow section is a bit loud but what the hell. What I'm not sure about is the striping on the "ball rack" thing on the front. I wasn't sure about using this initially since it spoils the lines of the ship a bit, but the tiny balls are just too cool to leave out. I thought the wasp stripes would look cool against the green, and the rest of the rack is intended to be grey to mark it out as a retrofit. What worries me is that I don't reckon I can mask the stripes better than this, but they look pretty wobbly and give the thing away as a wee model rather than a nice big ship. They also maybe create a "too much going on" effect in the front section, what with the red. I'm tempted to get rid of them as a result, but I thought I'd solicit some opinions first. One thing that might work is masking just a thin section of the stripes off to retain it, and painting over the rest. Or just keeping the front-most stripe which is the neatest one. Suggestions most welcome! Thanks, Will
