When building my model of an early 23rd century starship using a similar method I used a lot of drywall compound for this purpose

Hi,
i already said, that the colour of the BoP was too dark, so i´ve thought about a new concept... i´ve painted my Bird of Prey with 2 new colours and added the red parts under the wings... there is a lot work to do, particularly the fine painting...
this is the current stage:

This is it!

I added the cloaking device and let it be like it is now, cause i have lots of things to do and i won´t have time for anything for quite a long time...

Please tell me what you think, what i could have made better and so on-all critics will be appreciated!

After all it´s my 3rd paper model and before i only built plastic models...
(i´ll post all of my models at the end of this post)

Here you see all my 3 works, built so far... First was the K´Tinga, a very,very simplified design... second was the fictional russian APC, and now the
Bird of Prey... (the K´Tinga stands on its own, because i built in 2 2-euro-cent coins to hold back against the rest of the ship...)

This was supposed to be a fictional russian 20´s infantry tank from a fictional dimension, where the russians won WWI and occupied Germany...
But i never finished it... this was built about 4 years ago...
Features: Rolling Wheels, Movable Turret...

Very nicely done! You've come a long way with only 3 models under your belt. Can't wait to see what you do with the next three! :D

Thank you!

It looks good, but as someone who previously made the transition from plastic to paper, I just feel like mentioning that you can definitely rely on printed textures instead of painting everything.

You are absolutely right, but i understood that only when seeing the result for myself... I built plastic models before too and was confident that the paint wouldn´t look too bad, but now i see that the structural faults are all visible... :(
When i plan or build new models i will clearly use pre-textures.
