I managed to paint everything on the Star Destroyer yesterday basic white. The primer I was using took forever to dry and by the end of the day it was still tacky. This no doubt was a result of the damp conditions we are experiencing. The fog was down to the ground and drizzled all day. We live by the ocean, both our home and the studio.
Today it should be dry enough to start some weathering and get those engines lighted up.
The sub I spent a lot of time with at home on the PC figuring out those formers or cross sections provided by the plans I have. they were difficult to discern but in the end I sussed them out well and was able to print the sections out and cut them from styrene.
A test paper sheeting showed me that when sheets with styrene today I’ll have a nice bow section.
I also put some time in on the slot car body kit master. My friend Mark Helmick 3D printed the steering wheel, seat, dashboard, and mirrors for the car I will later mold and make from resin.
It was quite a day. A lot got done.
