I was inspired to go with this color scheme from the design of CLU's costume aesthetic in TRON: LEGACY.
***SEE PAGE 2 FOR PIC WITH 3 3/4 "CLU" standing next to the SKY STRIKER*** It's all done with Krylon Fusion spray paint. The Missiles will also be yellow. I have not decided, as of yet, what decals I will ornament the thing with. maybe the ENCOM logo? Could also call it the GRID STRIKER, or the TRON STRIKER, OR THE CLU STRIKER... ***SEE PAGE 2 FOR PIC WITH 3 3/4 "CLU" standing next to the SKY STRIKER*** Last edited by MLos1; 08-28-2011 at 11:47 PM..

I knew I wanted a sleek design in the same colors as Clu's color scheme in TRON: LEGACY...
Now, actually finding that color, that vibrant yellow, without using a florescent, was the hard part, bc on screen he's always glowing, and there was no way I was going to make the yellow trim glow on this thing, IE: Clu's costume and light cycle... So, I tried to match is as best I could, and leave the bulk of the jet black, so the yellow would "pop" like it does on Clu's costume... It's easy to get carried away with the yellow and the lose balance with the black, bc they look so cool together, but I did not want to overkill it and lose the simple TRON: LEGACY color design. |

Ugh...i know...believe me...i tried...i even ruined the wings trying a dif more complex yellow pin stripe that would give the illusion of an outer stroked "glow" on the pin-striping...and ended up having to strip them down to the gray with brake fluid to remove the paint and start all over again.

To get a more vibrant yellow I THINK spraying an undercoat of white might work. How well did the krylon adhere to the plastic?

I do agree with you on the paint ap. YOU could lightly stripe the tips with glow in the dark paint.. it`ll give you the lines you want, then only have to feed them where you want them to be. It's tricky and it won`t show up unless in the dark.
