I am going to build the new HMCS Warrior for the “Hot Out of the Molds 2024” campaign.


Details are quite crisp


Color callouts are for Colour Coats and Tamiya paints and Jamie Duff was consulted on the color scheme
There are 3 Firefly’s and 3 Seafires included

Interesting ship! I never heard of HMCS Warrior. I Will need to google it.

Looking forward to see more :slightly_smiling_face:

I am not quite sure I understand this? You scrape of the shiny part of a CD and glue it on the lens? Is that even possible?

1/700 scale

With the hull glued together there is a slight gap where the rear hull part mates to the hull



Because I plan to attach the kit to a base using screws I glued a piece of styrene sheet to the bottom of the hull to strengthen it

i don’t know how i missed this earlier but I’d like to enter with these star wars legion figures: Sun Fac & Poggle the Lesser which were released a little while ago.

I’m not sure when i can get them painted as the family and i are due to fly to Spain on Monday.

Great choice, David. Are you going to go for the original colors from the movie?
I do not know how long you are planning on staying in Spain, but the campaign runs to the end of the year, so there is still time :wink::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Nice progress, Stevie!

I’m just here in Spain for 2 weeks, i wish it was longer.
as for the figures, yeah i will try to make them screen/box art accurate when i get back.

Hi folks, well the trip to Spain for two weeks is over and i managed to get some work done on these figures.

now i don’t know what you call it and it’s bound to have a fancy name but i am experimenting with a new painting style for figures.
I prime them in matt white car primer then i use the main coat in this case tamiya dark yellow and i thin it so could shoot it through an airbrush but instead i brush it on. you end up with a thin almost translucent coat on the high surfaces and it pools in the recessed areas which enhances the nooks and crannies on clothing etc.

sorry for the low quality pictures, i took them quickly as i was heading out the door to go to work.

@Klaus-Adler, David, are you going make the bases in the original cracked red radiated earth?

Looking good!

@SGTJKJ yes Jesper I’m going to keep it as clise to the film as i can and both bases were painted before i went to work lastnight.

Games workshop has a terrain paint that resembles cracked geonotian red soil very well.

i painted his wrist and ankle rings in gold snd put a dark wash over them which made them look the same as his skin tones, so i switched it out for a copper colour which i think looks better.
