I built a light box tonight so i could get some good pics. Thanks Dan for the ideas!!

This is the first scratch-build original model I’ve done so I’m pretty stoked!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! I really had fun making these.

Here’s the lightbox I made

Got my new 3A Toys Badbot today and took a few 3D pics with my rockets.

Here are all my rockets in 3D.

Here’s one of the minis. Still needs more work but close to being done!

I painted the edges of the fins and painted the mid-band. I also started to weather the graphics.

You need 3D glasses for this one!

-

Now it’s time to concentrate on the graphics and paint job! I did the main graphic yesterday and painted the tips of the fins today.

I took these 3 pics yesterday

Painted the primer to the top section:

Custom Workshop with outdoor view!

Almost ready for primer. Also started on the minis.

Engine core primed.

Test fit for the engine core lighting before details were added.

Here’s a pic of the model and part of the sketch I did for it.

I started to scribe the fin lines. I used a marker to show what they would look like.

I added a ring to support the fins.

I decided to add a lighted engine core. I cut out 3 areas so it can be seen.
I tested the lighting out with a small flashlight.
