Details will be brush painted in using metallics later. The rear detail section has had a paint job applied with varying metallic shades and whatnotĪs mentioned, the guns aren't attached yet but here they are after their initial base coat of XF-63. The guns have yet to be fitted which is what the silvery conduits will connect to. I'll need to cut out the areas around the cooling fins on top. Next will be to put some Klear over the top to apply the large logo decal on the top. This has been given and initial wash with Flory dark dirt and streaked while drying. In the meantime, I have finally, after several attempt, got a colour scheme for the Starfury itslef I'm happy with! This was done with generous use of CY debonder and here is everything fresh from the paint stripper ready to start all over again.

The last progress report said I would be extracting the winglets from the engines to be able to paint them easier. That will get worked on again eventually. This is the third attempt at a colour scheme I'd be happy with and I'm still not entirely happy. Next is the current incomplete paint job of the base. Stil need to add some painted detail to the figure, eg the wide seat belts that would strap the pilot into the cockpit. Half a month goes by and finally there is some progress to show! First off somethign I did a couple weeks back for the pilot - this is going to be Ivanova's Starfury so she should be the pilot! I found some screen caps of Caludia Chistian in her spacefuit as the Starfury pilot and was able to shrink her head in the helmet down small enough and print on decal paper
