Phase 2 calls for the upper torpedo
bay, bridge elevators, bridge windows and some parts of the bottom to
be painted the secondary hull color. I didn't think this stood
out enough (almost blended right in!) because of the changes I made to
the primary and secondary hull colors, so it needed to be modified
too. I darkened it with dunkelblau.
I find masking to be incredibly hard,
especially irregular shapes. I have to use very small ( <
.25" ) pieces of tape to get the curves right, so it took me over
five hours for this step alone.
I also had to figure out the subtleties
of airbrush shading using light grey to accent the secondary hull
color. The shuttle bay doors on the underside of the saucer
don't look exactly like the picture, but I think I approximated it
okay. Over all, it isn't perfect but I believe it'll be alright.
