THANATOS AAC (9)

Hi all,

thank you for your feedback and suggestions!

With the built completed I sculpted some muzzle effects for the scene.

I only did 4 in total - 2 for the Machine Guns, one for a rifle, and one for the Flamethrower :)

 

And with this, everything was ready for priming

 

 

 

Disassembled and awaiting the primer...

 

Back on my desk I re-poured the water effects for the blood.

 

I'm still not happy with it.

It seems to vanish again...

 

After 48 hours it was still sticky and I got tired of letting it cure.

The following images are only tests for the light setting.

First I added the light from the fires and muzzle flashes.

Me likes alot

 

After the light effects from the flames I tried to apply the light effects from the navigation and landing lights.

 

 

After these I still had to do the interior light for the passenger bay

Wow, this is just the color, but I think this looks great already!

But two lessons learned:

1. the landing gear lights are too blue - I need to find a better color or at least tone it down
2. The passenger bay looks good, but engineering is useless - may as well close it

So I took the removable side and cut it to cover the engineering section

This will look better.

 

The blood effects really suck!

 

Nevertheless, I now started to paint for real - all in toned down colors to fit the nightly scene.

 

I also painted a first trooper.

As you can see I tried to do a skeleton scheme... 

And I completed the first paint phase for the Captain

 

I like him, and I hope he'll look better once done and in the light effects.

 

So

What do you think?
I look forward to your feedback and suggestions!
Cheers

Klaus
