Revells Colonial Viper MkII

Post by MakingModels »

Now that Flickr has been intergrated I have created a new post with all the pictures

****************************************************************************************************************

It's finished....

Revell's colonial viper MkII.

Nice simple kit to build, went together O.K. only real seam was on the engine pods but that was easily dealt with.

Model was Primed in Ultimate black, and Tamiya's flat colours were used. The stripes are painted on as the decals were not to great and had several blemishes on them.

Weathered using the scourer part of a sponge and the panel lining and streaks are done with Abtielung 502 Star-ship filth.

Dio was built using a picture frame and wall filler for the base with stones from the garden and woodland scenic's ballast in 2 different sizes.

Again woodland Scenics for the grass in both 2mm and 4mm

Water is Vallejo still water with Ultimate dark dirt and Algae green clay washes used on different layers(several over all)

Reeds are from Busch(Getreifield & Shilf - Grain fields and reeds)

There is a 10 episode build series on YT here >> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... Fhkq4PPtsl

And a full Photo gallery on Flickr here >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/154214148 ... 6623420661

I hope you like it
