discussion Haunebu II part 1 spru shots

[Bigfoot57]

So for my next build I’ve gone completely left field of my normal aircraft ships and cars I’m doing this as I want to practice painting as the construction of this kit would take about an hour from start to finish bar the painting and weathering so anyway here are the olbigitary spru shots and decal sheet

Regards

Bottom section done after painting took about 10 min to assemble not much else to say really parts fitted really well after filling and sanding and priming

Top section will be much more challenging with splinter camouflage weathering and a detailed interior to display

Haunebu II part 2 top section​

So here we go with the top of the saucer this was much more challenging than even I expected trying to do splinter camouflage and then weathering on top
Anyway after several attempts /repaints I got something resembling what I wanted
Next I added some small dowelling rods to the inside of the reactor cause when the saucer top is off you can see a hole in it to nothing less added these to give the impression of fuel rods tubes etc Also finished off the interior details mainly adding red and white indicator lights and buttons to each of the console to make them look more authentic & added the seats as well

Haunebu II part 3 weathering done and decals added​

So we’re nearly there this shows my final weathering of the top along with gluing in the windows using crystal clear so as not to smear the windows with glue and then finally add the decals I have left off 3 due to the policy being run by most online clubs with regard to a particular symbol now totally banned in Germany I believe I will probably add these afterwards but not post any pictures showing them other than that it’s just case of letting microsol do it’s stuff on the decals and when done clip the top section to the bottom which I will do tomorrow and post the completed model in the finished section of space craft and Sci Fi
