Moebius-1 part 10

The model has been in primer now for a few weeks but I have only just got around to photographing it.

The next step will be to come up with a suitable paint scheme and commit to all the fiddly masking that will be required. My current thought is to steer towards the colours suggested by the original Moebius comic (see part1).

Thanks for looking.

Moebius-1 part 9

I think I am finally done detailing.

Primering is next and then I will know for sure but with winter here the weather is not conducive to spraying outside at the moment.

I was hoping to get this done for Supanova which is this weekend, but sadly due to unforseen circumstances I won't be able to attend this year.

Moebius-1 part 8

The cockpit interior is now painted and the lighting tested.

As you can probably tell figures are not my strong point particularly in these small scales, 1/24 in this case.
I don't know how people work in the small scales it's all too tiny and fiddly for me, I much prefer 1/16 and larger, they are easier for me to both see and hold with my clumsy mitts.
Big spaceship models often don't have visible cockpit interiors so it never becomes an issue however this model has it all nakedly on display.

Most of the interior light is white and is coming from the central console screen lighting the pilots and the back wall with two bright white LEDs.
Added to that are four bright blue LEDs coming up through a chunk of acrylic (perspex) from behind the back wall and exiting sideways for some blue fill light and possibly some kind of wierd power source, who knows, I just make this stuff up as I go along.

Next job is to mask up the bubble and complete the exterior detailing.

Thanks for looking, more soon...
