Welcome
TO MY WORKBENCH.
Okay while the Enterprise is drying and knowing that I'm having a Game Night coming up, I took some time to get my game pieces in order. Okay, yes, I'm a Geek I own it totally, I love gaming too and lately the Firefly board game is a favorite. Well my lovely wife/enabler gave me the Customizable Ship Models & Esmeralda expansion and a friend got me the Jetwash expansion for Christmas. So since my paints are already out... First a quick note, the models are resin and NEED to be washed before painting. I use just dish soap and warm water. This removed any residual release agent used when molding the pieces. The soft plastic pieces from the game need to be buffed lightly with some fine-grit sandpaper. We start everything off with a good base coat of flat black, the next step was to fill in all the basic colors Gunmetal for the bodies of the Firefly class ships, light gray for the Alliance Operative's Corvette and dark gray for the Alliance Tohoka-class cruiser. (See I told you I was a geek). I then added in the accent colors to denote the game pieces: green, bright green, yellow, blue, purple, and orange for the Firefly ships, and a deep purple for the corvette. This was followed up with an overall wash of black ink followed by dry-brushing and final detailing.
