A little more fumbling

A couple of work in progress pictures of this particular build which I've decided to conceptualise as a commercial space liner model.
     These first two pics are just after the initial painting was completed. I ended up making the windows with a marker and did not know if the ink would react or run when I coated it so, just took the pictures for reference and posterity in case I had to start again.

Thankfully the ink stayed intact and I could proceed with the rest of the painting. The sensor array and some appendages to the wings still remain to be modelled.
     The following pictures are just test renders. Sadly I do not have access to a printer so for the time being don't know how to make logo or markings or decals other than painting them on by hand (which I am dreading), but in these test renders I added the 'Spaceways' tag digitally.  The lights are also fake and have been added digitally as I built this without any lighting.
    

Fighter WIP

Two work in progress pics of an as yet untitled fighter craft. Mostly scratch built, with just a handful of kit pieces added like the tail fins. Initially it was going to be the standard space ship white paint job with maybe some red markings but I decided to try something different and went for a dark metallic base.

Space Ark

This is Pegasus Hobbies wonderful Space Ark kit from When Worlds Collide.

 

Could not resist putting together a very quick and anomalous render just for fun.

Pincsher Dart

This was a quick kitbash which I don't really do much of, but felt intrigued enough by the shapes to try and see what it would turn out as. I felt it looked like a cross between a Pincsher and a dart, hence the name.

Here are some pictures.

Fumbling about

I felt intrigued by the shapes in this sketch I drew and felt the need to start fumbling about.

Mantis 2

An update to the Mantis build. These first three photos are of the basic build with a 1:32 figure for scale. Some tidying up was carried out on the main bodies disc as the previous incarnation was a little too loud and messy.

Next, some painted pics taken under room light, which gives it a sort of harsh contrast.

Lastly, one pic taken in daylight and shows the paint better.

I added some feet to the build, which probably loses the mild exotic nature of the design but it made sense overall to its functionality. I think I may also add some braces on the top section of the legs as well.
