So, the Venator is finished (well bar varnish but I cannot do that until the weather improves).
If I am honest this project turned into a real chore. The model itself is an old one and was built easily (twelve years or more ago) but putting my kind of character into it was hard. There was just not enough detail on the hull surfaces to pick out and what details existed I could not set off with my meagre skills and kit.
On the plus side I am pleased with the result and I have tested a few new colours and techniques. Some, like GW contrast paints I probably won’t use again but others I may.
I have a new backdrop on order so may put some better shots up in the future. Just got to find how to pose and store this beast (nearly half a meter bow to stern) now.
If nothing else it will be handy to use as a backdrop for some of the x-wing miniatures I hope to buy this year.
