So, while watching the Unofficial hobby hangout tonight I painted up one of my larger ships.

The model is a UCM cruiser from Dropfleet commander and is approximately 10cm long.

Painted in a very similar style to my frigates.

  1. Primed with leadbelcher
  2. Two coats of scale 75 instant shadow back.
  3. White for the engines and energy weapon followed by blue ink.
  4. Scale 75 instant Zucchini green on a number of the upper panels.
  5. Details and few panels picked out in red.
  6. A few pipes and smaller guns done in black.

These continue to look amazing. I know you mentioned you felt like it was cheating to use such a minimalist palette but I really think it shines in this case. The dark ship color also really makes the engine lights and detail colors stand out and that touch of green is perfect.

That blue engine glow actually looks like its glowing! Just white with blue ink?! I must try this sometime…
