Infinity Terrain

Had some time this weekend to do some work. I decided to build the remaining 3 management modules.

The building in sections worked well. I base coated and zenith’d as before I decided to use PVA to assemble instead. This involved lots of clamps and at times this parked the martial as I didn’t use packing. This doesn’t seem to detract from the final results.

The fades and colour choices are not my best but I think the end result looks good enough. I still prefer the original card model fades but these are done perfectly as only a computer can.

I decided to do the models one at a time from this point. This means that any mistakes are not necessarily on all models and I can learn each time.

I did however spray the strong main component colours. I have all the parts.

I needed to do the yellow stripe along the middle. this took about 2 hours of masking for one.  I didn’t want any bleed of yellow through. I did do this well but still ended up with one piece of visible overspray.

After this I sprayed grey then the yellow. This worked out a lot better than the first test model.

I unmasked then painted the dark grey in-between the panels.

I assembled the blue components. This was done with PVA I can see sections on the interior I will need to paint blue by hand. this shouldn’t be an issue.

Quite pleased with the results so far. this is far neater than the original. I put in the roof just push fit for the moment. I need to back spray and put in all the windows and start on the dreaded ladder rungs on the side.  Touch up the areas in blue.

I do prefer not having the yellow stripe over the doors and window frames. This makes me feel less tense looking at the object. (don’t know why)

More to come. I hope to have this one finished next weekend.
