The Eta-2 Actis, manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering is one of the ship designs I like most of the first three episodes. The Revell Easy-kit is a pre-painted snap together model, but can be perfectly assembled like a normal kit. The fitting is quite good and I only had some problem with the canopy.
The painting was done with Model Air acrylics and the weathering is painted blending diluted acrylic colours.

A funny thing this time. What can you do with an old forgotten model? Why not some Sci-Fi stuff!
I used an old Ferrari GTO 1/24 kit from Italeri mixed with some spare parts from the dead models box, some styrene supply and absolutely no complex. It was really funny to build those bizarre, creepy, rusty-looking weapons.
The worn look of the paint is imitated with several layers of Tamiya acrylics. First the aluminum color followed by two thick layers of clear varnish. Next an orange layer and finally a red one. And then I sanded the paint with sandpaper of several grains, until I got the worn look. The final touch is a dusty effect with pigments and some rusty leaks here and there.
Cheers.
