I identified three different basic colors of platings:
DARK RED
- Dark Red 70946 (30%)
- Red Leather 70818 (20%)
- Red Tail Light German (Panzer Aces) 307 (40%)
- Glaze Medium (10%)
- Dark Red 70946 (30%)
- Red Leather 70818 (40%)
- Red Tail Light German (Panzer Aces) 307 (20%)
- Glaze Medium (10%)
- the DARK RED mix (30%)
- + Neutral Grey 70992 (30%)
- + Track Primer (Panzer Aces) 304 (30%)
I applied these basic colors to the corresponding areas using the orthos of the CGI model. Everything is hand painted. By adding Glaze Medium, the color on the model lies very smooth. This way you don't see the brush stroke.
In order to simulate an active Warp drive in the ring, I chose a light blue color combination:
- Glossy Black 70861 (15%)
- Silver 70997 (35%)
- Field Blue 70964 (25%)
- Blue 70925 (25%)
I painted the raised details in the Warp drive with the same color mix + more Silver.
For the powered down Warp drive of the DSRV (Vulcan Rescue Ship) I used the same color mix.
