The final touches to the Protostar are in the form of a few home-print decals to represent a brass fleet number and some viewing ports for the crew capsule.
A little searching on the Wonderful World Wide Web netted the following:
A set of cool looking Victorian style brass-colored numerals. Here they are applied to the designated spot on the model. I thought the "No." designation was an appropriate touch, as well.
To represent the viewing ports, I came across the image of an ornate antique brass circular picture frame.
Importing the image into Paint, I had only to apply a black fill to the center of the frame, make a size adjustment, cut/paste three copies, and... Voila !!
A trio of fancy, frilly viewing ports for the Protostar.
All of these decals were printed on the same page as those required for the recent seven-model binge build.
Here is a pic of the crew capsule with viewing ports in place:
Almost done !!!!!
