Got a new 8.1 digital camera and took a few test shots of my Romulan BoP which I did some work on several months back.

As seen here, the ship from the front. I added the back edge detail on the wings, with some gloss red and yellow mixed (didn't have any orange handy at the time) till i found as near to the right shade to match the orange Bird on the underside of the hull.




Here as seen from above I used the lines molded into the hull by Playmates Toys as a guide and painted the back edge of the wings and the back edge of the primary hull. I masked off the afte sections of the wings and hull to prevent slop, and what little the was , I carefully scraped off with my Xacto blade. I also took a pencil and filled in the arc of windows on the top of the primary hull, then later redid it with a black gel pen.




Here is a closer shot of the bow of the ship, I colored in the windows.




Here is the aft of the ship, which I also colored the windows.

Nice work! I don't have that toy, if you'd just posted the shots and not mentioned your work, I'd have thought that's how it came!

Thank you, I picked up awhile back from a collector who was thinning out his stock, and i opened it up and the Bird on the bottom is molded in and beautifully painted. But the top was left undone. Which bothered me a bit. So flash forward a few months, I looked up some refrence shots online and then painted it while Doctor Who played in the background.

As seen here I have done more work on the BoP. I painted the forward plasma canon silver and give the center a touch of red. Also painted the hydrogen buzzard collectors clear blue.

Also painted the two hull panels aft of the bridge silver, and the aft ends of the impulse nacelles silver.

Dude !!! That looks so cool with the Romulan Centurion !!! You did a great job with the painting of the orange on top and the windows !! I hope DST someday releases the Mark Lenard Romulan Commander figure..... I wont hold my breath though.
