Me: I need a quick crew for my space tug. Just some names.

Also Me: Finds images of the crew, and creates interesting back story for them. Falls in love with the crew and now wants to do a whole book on just the tug crew's adventures.🤦‍♂️

@nyrath Exactly! The challenge is to not let them take over the ending of this novella. Come back to them later if need be.

@Ken_McConnell @nyrath As fans we know to dread the episodes where a long time crew member finally gets their back story resolved as we know this means they'll be huffing vacuum soonish.

More greeblies added to the tug. Hopefully this weekend I can get some panels and maybe a primer spray.

Hot take - Ralph McQuarrie's Stormtrooper helmets were the coolest.

Okay, this warship is done. Now to find a nice, sunny afternoon to photograph it for a book cover.

Just for fun, here are the Federation starfighters on the left and Votainion starfighters on the right. All in 1/32 scale. Two of the Vot fighters are unfinished. They are waiting on paint.

After the first wash it starts to look more realistic. I used acrylic dark green and black with thinner.

How big is a 1/350 scale starship? I use a tiny human facsimile for scale.

Most annoying part of Masters of the Air so far for me is the use of "roger, wilco". This is never used. Roger means "I understand" and wilco means "I understand and I will comply". Did they even have a technical advisor?

@Ken_McConnell A thing many technical advisors say: "yeah, I told them that was wrong but they didn't listen".

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike an F-22

The first pass is with black pastel. Then maybe some strategic brown.

It's white now. Tomorrow, one of my favorite steps - weathering.
