About the Build »
The GreenPlate Special is complete. This has to be
my most bold, creative and best piece to date. It's currently my
favorite. At least until the next kit. Ha!
The 'GPS' is a basic build with seams sanded and puttied.
Originally I had painted it in "stock" colors, but felt
it could had looked better. I used three different greens on different
panels and raised areas to give it more eye-appeal. White was used
as a highlight color and yellow-orange was used for the lenses and
insides of verniers.
The decals were custom designed by myself. I had been
wanting to use a particular font for a while now (font diner sparkly)
but hadn't had a good enough reason/project to use it on. When I
decided to go for a retro 50's look on the decals, that font screamed
out to me.
For an added effect, all of the decals were done in
white. This makes them stand out against the darker greens.
I added little weird touches to the decals. Check
out the "Tasty" decal on the ass-plate armor. The fuel
tanks also have various sayings on them. I have a weird sense of
humor.
