Mo's Shipyard

My current projects

Moving clockwise starting at refit

Refit, needs a coat of matt to dull it a little.

UGH Capsize, undercoat is on and now need to dicide a base colour.

MVM/AP Saladin. This has now been given a classification of Javelin class and the name USS Stinger. Filling and sanding stage.

MVM/AP Sentinel, needs clearcoating.

MVM/AP Atlacatl-class, needs a coat of matt to finish.

I do also have the Thoth class but need to get on computer to touch up the decals.

Refit is all done. I am glad I have another so I can get it right next time. For now this will go on the shelf with the others. Getting a little crowded now, I will have to start using longer stand poles to get some height variance.

A little hard to make out detail in those last two posts, but I don't see anything wrong w/your Refit. I also like your Alternate Paradigms ships. I'm still hoping that we'll eventually see these in 1/1000 scale.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I like the nod to Bill Krause's design. Very nicely done!

Thanks Griff

It was the same style and shape of ship. I asked and he said he didn't mind. They are both light cruisers with secondary hulls right on the primary.
The nacelles sit higher on mine but that is progression.
I had to give it the 'A' as is customary with refits
See more here soon.

Mo's yard may get back to making ships.
I recently purchased an airbrush and compressor from vouchers I had gathered together and looks like I like using it almost as much as decalling.

Last weekend I built a new workbench in the shed for general purpose use, OK ok more airbrushing than anything else but the wife doesn't know that.

This weekend I have been playing with pressures and different needle sets to get to know my way around airbrushing.
I had an older Deimos that was printed in WSF which I didn't like the texture of so I was using this as a starting point for general coverage.
I was happy with how it was going so did a quick clean and put some colour on the UGH! Romulan Capsize.
Colour is Interior Green Grey from Vallejo Model Air. This was on a base of white so it looks a little lighter than it should be but not bad for a first coat of colour.

It has taken me all this week to work up enough steam to do a few bits of detailing on my MVM Venture.
