Adding subtle weathering to the Daedalus class with soft pastel scrapings and a brush. I just want to bring out the details on the paneling, not make it totally disheveled like the 11 foot Enterprise. The top nacelle on the last pic is weathered while the bottom one is not, just for comparison. - ThreadSky

Have you ever tried the Tamiya Weathering Master sets?

mark2000.bsky.social•8 days ago

I haven’t because it’s basically pastels which I have around already. Plus with pastels I can mix custom colors. This is mostly dark grey and a little brown. The panel lines are light grey and beige.

I love watching your ship progress. Step by step.

I've recently returned to modeling and these posts gets my energy up to do more too!

Nothing like seeing others do something to inspire you to do the same. That’s why I’m still a Facebook junkie.

I remember alot of cool stuff on FB. Unfortunately I'm not comfortable with that platform and my privacy.

I do miss it tho.🙂

Yeah. All the hobby stuff is there. The only thing even close that I can think of is TheRPF.

I miss that alot.

Here’s a closeup of some panel lines on the secondary hull. For these I tapped the pencil drawn lines with the tip of the brush and just blew away the excess without blending it. Makes a nice stippling effect.

Here’s a side by side of the two engine ends, the right one weathered, the left one not. It really adds a lot of depth that this small scale doesn’t afford. Recessed areas look deeper. Shadows look darker.

Very spiffy! scratch build?

mark2000.bsky.social•7 days ago

3D printed from a model I researched and built based as closely on Jein’s Chronology model as possible. You can see the whole project by searching me and Daedalus.

I nave wanted a Daedalus model in a good scale for a long time, but don't have a 3D printer, or room for one. I will look up the build.
