Chapter 6 - Growth on the Inside
In the top two pictures you can see the major components of the interior painted, installed and aged down. The remaining pictures show the signal flags. The colours of the flags may not be totally accurate but it was an opportunity to introduce some accents to the mundane colour pallet. They will be hard to see in the final product so an exaggeration may serve to help them be visible later. Other bulkhead stowage consists of an extra machine gun barrel case was added in front of the flags on the right side. While the Tristar interior set item is okay and I did choose to use it, I think next time I'll try scratch-building a more accurate one.
The fit of all the major interior components presented no problems, everything just fell into place. In this series of pictures you can see that I have given the interior a coating of Humbrol matte clear coat, (#49) over the wiped off oil wash. On top of that I added bare metal colour (Humbrol # 27003) to represent wear points and scuffs on the tread plate. The reason I do this after the flat coat is because the metal paint I use for the worn areas can be buffed with a paint brush after it's dry giving it a metallic sheen.
Picture #1 shows the transmission/clutch/steering items installed and connected. On the floor in the upper left the batteries have been added. The arrow points to a tool box that I have treated with a piece of Realmetal film to give it a realistic metallic look. Also at the bottom of the picture an arrow points to the tread plate used for the gas/brake pedals.
Picture #3 shows the tool box aged down a little and the back wall being glued in place. I used elastic bands to ensure full contact along the sides to the hull.
In picture #4 placed on the fenders for this photo are two other components representing more armour for the rear of the crew compartment. The last shot shows the extra armour plating added to the crew cabin back wall with the first aid kit box. I used a decal from the spares box for the first aid symbol. |
