There's not just a whole lot to report..
:) I've been priming the ship with Floquil Military primer - an
excellent product. It sure separates fast, though; you
practically have to shake it after every other sweep of paint.
I'm experimenting with a new kind of
primer - silver, as recommended by a fellow at the hobby store.
There has been a problem with the red putty showing through the grey
primer. He pointed out the fact that the putty is going to
absorb the paint at a different rate than the plastic, so it would
take several sweeps before it was obscured. Not only that, but
the Voyager's hull color is going to be a bluish grey, so it will be a
little more difficult for me to tell where I've been, and how heavily.
The only question with this is whether
or not the silver will have a powder after it dries. I've
painted The Gimp (Enterprise-D) with silver, and am waiting for it to
dry. If I take a cotton ball and sweep The Gimp and it comes up
clean, we're good!
The Voyager is drying, waiting for a
possible application of silver. |
