You've smashed it here dude, it's come out looking ace.

You could make some separate landing gear that it sits on for when it's parked?

Found a good bounty hunter yet?

Thanks, mate. It means a lot, coming from you!

I'd like some landing gear, although I'm feeling pretty 'done' with the model. Feel like I will mess up if I try to add anything. Otherwise I would add some markings on the engines and some lines (and landing gears).

I've got a colour scheme for the capeless miniature I chose between, will try to paint this weekend. Also got a new scheme for the mini I started, but didn't like. It's going to be interesting!

Nice plans, Thank You for sharing.

Happy to be of service. The first comment I got on Facebook was "Are you selling these?", so I felt that the least I could do was to draw up the plans.

I, for one, would be happy to see a "glass effect" tutorial from you. It is weird, because sometimes I like the outcome of my glass, and other times... bluh. lol

Glass or gem (like in the weapons) or both?

Colours windows by Oscar Falk, on Flickr

These are the colours used:
Black
White
Night blue
Magic blue

Done by Oscar Falk, on Flickr

Window tutorial by Oscar Falk, on Flickr

Steps:

Paint window black
Mix Night Blue/Black 50/50, paint like a U, leave only little black.
Pure Night Blue, paint like a U, all the way up, but just a thin line.
Mix Night Blue/Magic Blue 50/50, paint like a U, but only about 40% up.
Magic Blue, make a line that points a bit up
Add white to Magic Blue in small increments, make a line in the line, smaller and smaller.
End with an almost white dot in the middle (a bit blue in the mix)
Finally, add two white dots up in the corner.

edit: added a daylight picture when the paint is dry. I did this kind of fast and sloppy, but I didn't think the final picture was representative!

I agree, useful. Perhaps the most useful bit being the color selection. Thanks!

Re: [15mm] Ockman's Sci-fi, update 200128: WIP City tiles
« Reply #658 on: January 28, 2020, 06:53:26 AM »
I'm on a work trip to Stockholm, staying at an old hotel.

What do I do when I stay at a hotel situated in a building dating back to 1647? Well, I sleep in comfortable beds, watch old movies, eat ice cream and build some new city tiles.

I want to be able to scale up my games to 90x90 cm (3x3')

I like the offset road tiles at the top left and top middle. I think you may end up with some limitations in swapability, as opposed to all tiles with mid-edge exit points, but in a 3x3' setup it may not matter too much? The edge roads do allow for far more play space than roads that cross the middle of the tile. I could see the value in that!
