The 12th Fleet: Starbase Valhalla

So here is the finished model. This is a battle damaged/worn Viper Mk II. The canopy is sanded a bit but it's not as bad as in the pics, it's still clear, just scratched and worn. I tried to add some burn marks, cannon fire on the wings and fuselage and i accentuated the lines to give it some depth. The overall look is a lot smoother than in the pics, it looks really sharp and rough on screen. There are two problems, the long red decal along the nose is off center but once i got it down it was stuck solid so that was that and the red decal going round the tip of the nose has a tiny kink in it, again once it was down it was stuck. Not a lot i could do about those, just poor quality decals as per usual. Tbh in person you can't really notice them. So, opinions...

Looks awesome. If anyone asked I would say that in war time they cant afford to waste time making things pretty. It looks like a bird that has been pieced together several times after combat damage with limited resources.

Very nicely done.

Not sure if it would help, But if you cut down some sponge and ( very) lightly dip it in a paint the same base colour as the hull, it's a handy way of adding chips and scratches in the paintwork on the red decals, and showing the bare metal / original bodywork underneath.

Just be careful with that technique not to overdo it. less is more

Dude, that's really nice work.

Good work on the viper m8!
Nice weathering on the engine's!

I would add some more weathering over the nose section, it looks a bit to 'clean' compared to the rest of the viper.

Looks awesome, I jealous!

now i want to build a model of it

That looks fantastic!

Dude, that looks awesome!
