On the right you can see the slight ridge from the Contact paper blackboard trim piece.
I also added some chrome trim around the motor mount tube that extended out the back.
TIP: The colors follow a good design practice - Three colors in descending order of coverage area.
The major color being WHITE. A secondary color, BLACK. The third color is ORANGE.
The decals round out the finer details.
This might be why so many of the Centuri catalog pictures caught your attention. Check out their sport designs in the 1972 catalog: CLICK HERE
That's just NICE, Chris! Really LIKE the old Centuri designs!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely snazzy-looking in the multi-colour paint scheme. In shape and form Taurus is a nice-looking bird -- but the paint scheme you used makes it "pop" and she becomes a *great-looking* one.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion many SF modelers currently tend to rely a bit too much on "greeblies" and "nurnies" (ie. various bits and pieces added to the surface -- for example look at stuff from Star Wars) to add interest to an otherwise monochromatic colour scheme.
Aside from the colours, having a mixture of gloss, flat and a bit of shiny chrome gives additional "texture" that adds to the interest.
Wow!!! Incredibly gorgeous model, Chris!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta fly this one at least once before it gets relegated to permanent display status! Double Dog Dare ya......
