Acclamator Assault Ship
There is some misallignment of the details on the lower hull...
.... I removed it...
... and glued it with better alignment
the cast was very thin in the marked areas so that I had to reinforce it
The bow of the upper hull has to be build new because of bad cast
Because I intend to lighten the bridge I cut it with a razor saw in order to hollow it
The hollowed bridge ready for the installation of two small LED´s.
The pylon on which the bridge has to be installed
I did not like the deep trench and closed it.
The callenge was how to illuminate the engine in a way that illumination is not only a blue dot of the LED. The solution is to use an optical lens, which needs an adapter ring for installation
The lens installed inside the trust tube of the engine.
Illumination check photografed with flash light
Illumination check photgrafed without flash light
The kit misses the rocket and torpedo launchers which I added.
Bores for engine illumination LED´s
Chanels for engine illumination wires
Cut outs in the rear wall for illumination
LED installation space for rear wall illumination
Light dstribution box for side wall illumination. Light will be transmitted into the box by optical fibre with 1,5 mm diameter
Installe light distribution box
pre painted greeblies for the side and rear walls
painted lower hull
Painted upper hull. Markings have been masked and airbrushed.

Markus HelmersAgreed, the panels look really good. Makes me want to repaint my Venator.

Christian LehmannThanks Garreth and Markus. I only preshaded the most prominent panellines with a medium gray color. For the majority of the panels I used the primer ( mr.Surfacer 1200) as prehading color. Each panel is seperately airbrushed begining at the center of the panels with a very light gray. For the bright panels I added one drop white and masked the panels before airbrushing them. For the colorized panes I added some olive drab or brown into the light grey base color and applied the high dilluted color in different layers with a brush.
