Luna Gans Build

Desk cleaned up and we are ready to rock and roll!

Bags of parts, decals, and some wires, springs, and cables

Nice smoked glass element

Bits and pieces

Sensor unit assembled but those rough seam lines will need to get rubbed out so it appears as one seamless form. This is the same form as here: scalemates.com/profi..s&album=77372#43

Conducting a few paint color tests while the sensor unit dries. I'll be going with 1 part Vallejo Refractive Green to 1 part Vallejo Basalt Grey. This is going to be a very weathered build so it will get washed a lot in various dirty filters.

Sanding out seams first with 220 grit sandpaper

Filling in some gaps with Tamiya Putty Basic Type

Sanding out the putty and seams

Attaching little bits and pieces to the sensor tower...

Slopping on thinned Vallejo Model Color Sky Gray for a cloudy look. This is a base coat that will soon get grey-green on top

Now for a thinned out application of grey and green mixed together and rather slapped on to create this mottled look

Clipping, sanding, connecting, cleaning, and drying parts

Masking what will be a orange band

And decorative orange band painted!

Sample of a completed body paint job. Applied thick and liquid to give it that textured look

Rockets attached

Cavity of searchlight painted chrome with lens placed over. This departs from the directions that would have you cover it with a slotted cap but I prefer seeing the brightness of the shiny light!
