Callisto booster section after 3 coats of paint.


Detail of Callisto's fins, painted.


Well, got the primer sanded down and the fist color of paint onto Callisto! We decided to start with the booster section, and this is what we ended up with! The paint is really, really nice. Very nice metallic. The paint job itself isn't perfect - there are quite a few imperfections. But, for my first paint job in a very long time it looks pretty good.

After the paint cures for 24 hours I'll get to work on the next color. :)

I also got the first coat of red onto Der Red Max. I'm not getting creative with DRM - just the stock red booster and black nose cone, and I'll even use the included decals. DRM's a classic and I always liked it, so it's getting done stock.

More tomorrow I'm sure!
