‘Fate of the Stellar Envoy’
Priming
My work on this scenery piece began after its construction and I took the following photo before I began priming the model for painting. It had already been given several coats of grey primer while it was being built.
I began by spraying the damaged areas and deep recesses with black, along with the pipe work and generator coming out of the engine. The pipes and exposed areas of machine parts, were then dusted over with Lead Belcher.
Once this had dried I used clingfilm to loosely mask off the areas I wanted to keep black or silver.
Next I used a white spray can to cover the rest of the ship. For this stage I only sprayed from above the model so that I would retain the dark black and grey areas in the underside.
