Re: My 15mm Spaceship Project (started to paint)

Thanks, I have to paint it up "New" then dirty it down, I'm thinking a brown wash might do the trick, still have some more painting to do.

I think brown looks "Earth dirty" but I'm not sure how much grunge on a spaceship ends up being familiar brown dirt. I've mostly gone with black with the idea that perhaps it is stuff that has scorched during atmospheric operations but I have tried to stay away from traditional dirt ideas. I think the idea of weathering in space is an interesting one, overall. No right answers from all that I can tell. Looking at pictures of a space shuttle mostly just shows a pretty clean vessel. I'm using a world with blue dirt for my sci-fi project, which leads me to believe that some of the weathering and wash should be blue, though I'm not sure how much that will show on top of something that isn't a pretty light color. It might also be "weird" to observe since we don't think of dirt/dust as being blue. Somehow I think we can make the leap with Mars red, but I've been leery to try blue for fear that it will just look odd.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the clean version and follow-on dirty version.

Nice work!

Looking forward to seeing pics too.

Of course, while I'm just trying to get beyond using paper/poster deck plans, with a 3-D interior, you've gone and raised the bar by doing a nice interior AND exterior. 

I find that sometimes black can be a little too stark, depending upon the effect desired, and the color(s) of the vehicles.  A nice medium to dark gray might work too, though it is your vessel and design, so feel free to ignore or use as you see fit.

Whoa!  I hadn’t seen this project until now.  Unbelievable.  And truly inspiring.

Thanks Dan!

Looking great!

I especially love the bridge controls, radar/ladar display, and the stars showing through the view-screen.

Maybe, if I ever finish my Ootheca bug shuttle, you and I might get to have a little ship-to-ship game.  :)

Thanks for the idea Dan, I haven't started a crew for this project yet, I haven't even come up with a name for the ship as of yet either.

So starting a crew I think should be my next project.

I have already started a background for a planet that all the adventures will be played on or from.
