Can't wait to see what you do with the cargo pod. I thought of putting sliding doors on the sides, but found it to be a bit more than my skills allowed.

I was out of town over the weekend, so not a huge update, but here are some pics of the Sky Crane with the painted cockpit and side landing gear. A lot of real-world Sky Cranes have the landing gear painted except for the actual hydraulic shaft. So, to match the color scheme of the comic I also painted the rear landing gear.

I should get the cockpit seats painted tonight, then I can put the main body back together and work on the scratch-built engine/cover and the cargo pod.

My favorite part so far is using Nestle brand engine covers. Cobra really does use the finest in "battle tested" armor in the world!

Been a couple of busy weeks, so not much as far as updates. Here are some pics of the painted cockpit, and hand painted teeth to the cockpit.
The cockpit was already painted a silver/grey by the ebay seller I bought it from. I hand painted the seats, seat belts and lights, then gave the whole thing a wash with thinned out black paint. I'm going to apply at least one more coat of white to the teeth and try to cover some of the brush strokes. I'll also outline the mouth and teeth with a paint pen. I've really been struggling on the chin gun on this. I was going to use a Sigma Six Zartan dbl barrel gun, but the scale is way too small. They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so after looking at source materials and other customs, I think I'm gonna use at least the gun barrels from the same cannon Davestro used for his custom - if I can find one of those boats at Wal-Mart. Also, I'm planning on making a removable interior to the cargo pod so that it can be used as both a troop or vehicle carrier. Jason |
