After 2 months, the Astro Battleship “Shangri La” is now finished. The kit went together well and Bandai make it easy to do lighting. However, due some problem somewhere along the line, the bridge window light and a couple of the Nav light LED’s having either blown or just stopped working. A disappointment for sure, but I’ll live with it. The main thing is the central lights still work and change colour like they’re supposed to.
I have painted mine slightly differently than what’s on the screen by adding replaced panels which in my opinion makes it more interesting than just a slab of violet hued gray. Speaking of which, I opted not to have the violet tinge to it because I didn’t like it that much
That’s the best thing about Sci-Fi, you can do what you like with the subject and no one can tell you it’s wrong
Here’s some pics I’ve taken of it. I might try for some moodier shots later tonight if I can be bothered.
Thanks to all those who tuned into and posted in the WIP – it is always hugely appreciated
Let me know what you think - good or bad, it’s all feedback that may help me do something better in the future
Cheers
