Well I have been working on this for some time here are some pic of the work so far. working on some custom firgures like an ice viper, and drive, as well as a Corba Command...
UPDATED: PAINTD: White is Krylon Fusion White, Black is Krylon satin black the red, tan, silver, and gold is all model paint from the hobby Shop. Blue meticallic, and light grey is from the house of color line. Reason for the blue camo: Once I put the top half and bottom back together after just the white. To me something was missing. So i spray the light grey camo but it did not show up as good as I hope that why i went with the blue. STICKERS: I was able to pill off the old ones from 1 of the junker hydrofoils. so the red Cobra sticker is an orginal just used super glue to put back on. As far as the cobra snake. that was a pane. Trace orgnial ones one to a sheet of paper , put tape on bottom half and trace and cut snake out of the tape and then put very light coats of white paint on until it stood out against the new black haul. As far as the missile color goes I had missed around with painting them grey, but the grey paint I had at the time would spay on. it would dry and crack still working on that part of the boat.

I don't like the blue camo. Maybe if it was an all white top with some bluish gray hatches, seats and engine cover. Otherwise, very nice custom. I especially like the detail work on the deck and the dashboard.

Did you print those stickers?
I'd like to get a hold of a set or two of custom Hydrofoil stickers.

Looks more like a Russian Flanker camo job than an artic paint job for an attack boat. Hmm I dunno what they would paint a ship in the artic other then light greays and whites, even grey would stick out unless it was at night.
Some of the artic camo shots I see on the web have some lightish tan and green/greey slight striping patterns where it mostly white with some black/greys... The red on the guns is to bright and the yellow missiles should go missile color! Other than that it is a moray and I don't have one so grats :( |

Great job. Looks cool. Maybe all white would have looked better, but its hard to tell now and you already go the stickers on. Either way I like it. |
