First off, let's pick up with the backs of the seats from Issue 7. As usual, I spray 'em clean, and add my own weathering:
I also decided the floor was too rough, so I repainted and reduced it to light scuffing in the heavy traffic areas:
Adding the seats got me the following. Too mismatched colorwise. Gonna have to do something about that.
But first, a fun little detail. Take one stirry-stick:
Dip one end in paint and bop it against test paper until it's just making rings:
Et viola: somebody doesn't use a coaster! ;)
Also, I really hate this seam. Is there something I can do about it?
Why, yes. Yes, there is.
(That's Sy Snootles, if you can't tell)
Next comes the control panel. I screwed up the dial in the middle, had to reglue it. It looks better now, I sear. Lost the other one, unfortunately, so backed it with green tape so I can put a light behind it or something later.
This panel here goes on the wall. I have two wall pieces right now, which I'm painting in a base of dark gray flat primer. This I painted in Testor's silver and added some black wash for "grime". Should look really good on the wall.
Tried some orange for the couch, since I had some. Well, at least it's consistent now. But I think I'm going to get me some shiny leather-look brown and use that instead.
Anyway, there are a few more bits and pieces, but they carry over into the next editions, which are scheduled to show up on my doorstep tomorrow. Talk about timing!
