1/144 New Ware Atlas-Centaur

[bapowell]

Latest addition to my collection of 1/144 rockets: the New Ware Atlas Centaur SLV-3D Pioneer 10 Launch Vehicle.  All-resin, 14-piece kit, crisply molded.  Metallics with Alclad, and a couple spare decals to supplement. Sparingly applied enamel and clay washes.  Scratch-built magnetic stand.  Complete model is around 11".  Thanks for looking!

Wow! - that's a real beauty - I love the subtle shading you've achieved on the white areas and the dull-shiney effect on the silver. Really nice.

nice build. I haven't dared to venture into resin for my rockets, I have a tendency to screw up with that material.

 

... and greetings to DC, I lived there for 6 1/2 years (well, worked, living in McLean)

Cheers

Thanks!  Yeah, I prefer styrene but there's so much that's only available in resin.  No choice but to dance with the devil!
