My friend Pasha Dan found this piece in a sale bin and gave it to me a couple of years ago when I was heavy into my Firefly in the Expanse project.
Its a playing piece from an MCU clicky collectible game. I wasn't sure what to do with it except for removing the clicky base.
It originally had big orange plastic flames erupting from the engine nozzles. So I twisted those off.
Painted out the Deadpool markings and then dry brush some black reentry scorches to hide the rougher finish where I painted over the markings and painted the engine nozzles black.
Then it sat for a week while I pondered how to make it not just sitting on it's belly. Had a brain wave on the weekend to use pieces of sprue.
So done. Another item off the backlog and another piece of scatter terrain for a distant colony world. Also the first thing painted for my 15mm science fiction in a few years.

What a great makeover!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great job of tidying that up, looks fab. Based on the size of those engine exhausts, I can't imagine there's much living space after of the start of the tailfin. Shorthaul job, maybe? Anyway, it looks like it would fit in the Expanse. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
DeleteYes, problem with a lot of these is unrealistically small engines.
My Eagle transporter for another example.
