Scratch Build – In Progress The Rocket by RandomDesign

As a last little detail, I added a number to the sides of the outer shell.





To finish up the paint job, I applied multiple layers of brown and black wash
to get rid of the sine and add a little more weathering. After a layer of matte clear coat
the colors were all nicely drawn together. I also attached the bumper and rear lights.





Then I attached the wing in the back.



And lastly both sections were put together.



Now I only need to find some time to make pictures.
Hopefully it will not take too long.

 

Looking great. The added human for scale made me realize your vacuum canister is huge. BIG wingnuts.

 

Its actually a pressure chamber. For some projects I already wished I had a larger one.

 

Damn that looks ready for a RC rally race. Fantastic work.

Cheaps, stop commenting on random's nuts. There's other forums for that

 

NO!
I mean, take a second to think how absurdly huge they are.

 

Sweet build, loving the attention to detail and all the casting, awesome paint job too

Noticed your using CA glue there. Have you heard of this stuff, it sets the glue quicker and more evenly, you can also just pour the glue into a crack/hole, then spray the activator over the top and it sets almost instantly even though the glue isn't being pressed between surfaces:

 

Thanks mate! I am using activators for quite a while already. You can also use baking soda to make CA glue kick faster. It also gives a little more material, which is nice if you want to strengthen
a bond from the inside a little more.

 

I use baking soda on my prints for just that reason.

 

Sweet I'll remember that one for next time

 

After an eternity I finally managed to make some pictures.
Making-of video will follow soon.
