New from the Orbital Shipyard

I primed up the water-putty ship miniature design I introduced two posts ago.  I also added a few details to the ship to give it some pep: an antennae cluster (made from angel hair pasta) and a little radiator fin.

The cold temperature of my garage made the gray primer come out thick, so I decided to make the coat very light to avoid obscuring any detail.  The miniature therefore has a few bare spots peeking through as the pictures show.

I have one of those annoying holiday-season work "fun" functions tomorrow, but hopefully I'll get a few hours of free time to paint this big bruiser up.

I also knocked out a new design for a smaller ship.  I like this one a lot, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to prime, after the garage warms up.
