I took a step back from the ship over the break and spent some quality time with my family.
Sometimes it's more beneficial to do that rather than force yourself to keep pushing on and make a mistake.
I'm now back and refreshed and ready to take on the last steps to finally finish the ship off (just in time for the 40th anniversay!)
I've gone over the model with some wet and dry and brought it all back to smooth, ready for weathering - a blank canvas.
I will be using only graphite powder, brushes and an eraser for the majority of the weathering (in keeping with the how the studio model was done). I will also add the pencil and drafting pen markings used on the original and some black acrylic for the inside of the engines and some of the deeper crevices.
This should be fun!
More updates soon...
