Free Trader Crew¶

And the Security Specialist is done also. Six indicidual models in a day, not bad. My painting hobby definitely needs more bank holidays...

Free Trader Crew¶

The Captain is done. I gave him two different dresses instead of painting both models the same way.

Free Trader Crew¶

I continued work on the Free Trader Crew. First up is the Pilot, who also drives the mule to get cargo to and from the ship.

I wanted to paint the model on foot at the same time as the seated model. When I had both besides each other I noticed, that in my first attempt to give the seated drived the head of the Pilot, I grabbed one of the Security Specialist models... :-(

Out came the knife, off went the head and I instant moulded the correct head.

I then tried to sculpt the shirt of the original model on the seated driver.

Then came the painting. Orange suit and hawaian shirt.

After some colourful splotches, I tried to paint on some flower shapes in dark green - according to my wife I managed to archive the look of a childs painting attempts, but not a hawaian shirt look...

Here is the complete vehicle with driver seated and standing. The great panel on the front cries out for the Free Trader Crew logo - another decal I need to design and have custom printed.

Armed Civilians¶

The clothes on all the models are done. I tried to aim for a brownish cowboy look on some, while trying to get a real colourful look on others to have a nice non-uniform look to the bunch.

More Vehicles¶

Having catched another flue/virus/whatever which showed itself on Saturday, I am on sick leave this week. Between sleeping all day, I managed to put in some painting time within the few moments I have a clear head in between.

The ConServ vehicles are done, the 3d printed tires glued on. And it took me only since January...

On to the next models :-)

More Vehicles¶

I painted the bus' windows, tires, lights and antennas.Out of a whim I painted some of the panels on the top as windows to have more light in the interior. After all, this bus only transports workers to the construction site, but is not involved in the construction work itself, therefore the roof does not need to be protected.

I also painted the 3d printed tires, ready for mounting them on the vehicles.
