More Vehicles¶

I finished building the vehicles, next up is rinsing and undercoating.

Nothing more added to the ambulance, just miliput to cover any gaps.

On the Rover I finished the work on the prolonging of the passenger cabin.

On the Ranger I added more details, like the retractable support beams, the rest for the turntable ladder behind the cabin and the cut-off from the basket as ... some interesting feature.

Free Trader Crew¶

I cleaned the flash from the models and based them on washers.

To get cargo into their ship, the crew uses a mini mule with trailer. The driver supplied with it wears NAC gear, which does not match the look for a free trader.

Time for some more instant mold. I choose a model (that it is the pilot was coincidence, and not related at all to the pilot of a well-known tv series...) and covered its head with the mold.

Here the cast with the head cut off.

From the original driver I cut off the head and removed the shoulder plates. I then glued the new head in place and with miliput added a hood, like on the model I cast the head from.

Here is the complete mule with driver and cargo. The driver will not be glued into place to allow me to use the vehicle manned and in action, as well as unmanned scenery.

Armed Civilians¶

The space pirates were cleaned and based. Where possible I bent the arms of duplicate models to change the pose of the second one slightly, one model got a V cut into his arm for the replacement which I then covered with miliput (the model in the front, the model directly behind is the original model).

More Vehicles¶

The models were treated first with a Vallejo basecoat from the airbrursh.

The ground vehicles got a black spray coat from underneath

The MedServ VTOL was sprayed light grey all around, then white from above as a first highlight.

The ConServ vehicles were sprayed in flat orange, then highlighted with a bright orange sprayed from above.

TecServ was sprayed grey on the lower half, then blue on the upper half.

The models were basecoated together with the Space Pirates (photographed with them). The mule was also basecoated, then sprayed black from below, then sprayed yellow all around.
