USS EURISKO - Intrepid Mark II Class

I suppose, in total volume consumed, it ain't too bad....

Here is a quick picture of the airbrush work. This is not on the EURISKO. I am just learning airbrushing so this is a fellow forum dweller who has figured out the correct process for airbrushing the depron. First I got to cover the whole EURISKO with woodglue, sand it, putty in all the little damages and then airbrush.
Its still a lot of work !

The plaque goes to William A Simmons from Shelley Indiana - US
It will be posted from the netherlands today !

Hi All,

The fact that the Cylon Resurrection NAS has been delayed by the rediculous prices if HDD's and I have started another build - 2001 - A Case Modyssey, does not mean that the work on the EURISKO is halted.

I am currently venturing into the world of airbushing and here is the first update.

Because of the softness of the depron (I would definately go with Styrene next time) it needs a lot of fixing up before the final layers of paint can be shot with the airbrush pistol.

Seems are a real bitch as i cannot use normal putty as that has a chemical reaction with depron.

Also little bumps and dents are abundant as i have been building her for quite some time (again a lesson) I use woodglue to fill in the dents and then shoot another layer and fix her up again. Slow work!

But al least we are getting somewhere!

Ok, so here's the bad news !!!!

As some of you might know i am relatively new to modding. I have been modding for exactly 13 months now and the EURISKO is my first mod. I have never done any airbrushing before. So i bought myself an airbrush and started practising , reading and so on. I used a special filling primer to get rid of the last little scratches and marks. It all started out so nice !!!

Getting the whole model taped up was a big job, took over 5,5 hours to get it perfect !

The first layer went on perfectly !

So then it was time to pull off the tape and continue to the deflector tunnel and warp nacelles! So I thought !

EPIC FAIL !!!!

The new role of tape was to strong , my test piece waxs done with a role a couple of months old and it worked perfectly and now this !!! It tears the baselayer right off!

I think I died a little there ....

So with 8 hours left to complete the build (I wanted to have it completed before midnight newyears eve) I had to sand all the troubled pieces down (no small task with depron), put them into the primer again and repaint them. I was so hoping that I will not encounter any other hurdles.

SO on my brithday at 3 in the morning it looked like this
From starship to loveboat!

The resturation is going ahead relatively ok!

You can see the damage from the sanding but maybe I can turn that into weathering like a whole bunch of Borg Torpedoes have hit.

But in the end I made it !!! With the setback of the 29th I worked almost through my birthday and all night but I made it ! She's finished!!!!
Here are my 2 mascottes , Captain Janeway (sorry kate) and the voyager sign!

More to come but first a Very BIG BEER !!!!

Here is the first picture set !!!
