A collage of two images of the same axle detail, both showing the part from different side angles. The larger surfaces are painted in brass nmm and the deeper set more "functional seeming" ones are held in a type of slightly purple-ish blue nmm. These surfaces are also supposed to read as somewhat shiny and reflective, which is why the brightest details painted on the nearby galaxy horses (not seen in this image) are painted as reflections on this piece. It is photographed in front of grey fabric background and a tiny, very low opacity cryocheese icon has been placed in the bottom left corner. Figure: 'Apollon God of Sun' sold by Kimeramodels (personal warning: challenging assembly!)
Close-up of the two connection cables of the chariots axle detail, which will be connecting the horses.

A collage of two close-up images showing each connection cable detail of the axle parts front section, which are going to connect to the galaxy horses. These tiny segmented cylindrical surfaces are also supposed to read as shiny and reflective, which is why the brightest details painted on the nearby galaxy horses (not seen in this image) are painted as reflections on this piece. It is photographed in front of grey fabric background and a tiny, very low opacity cryocheese icon has been placed in the bottom left corner.

This image shows a 45° downwards angled front view of the chariot bluetacked together at this current progress state. The two horses left and right are very colorful due to the many galaxies, nebulae and stars freehanded onto them, but also feature metallic surfaces (painted with non-metallic paints) that are either shiny brass or shiny blue-ish looking. They are connected by a centered axle detail, which shows the same colorscheme, except that the celestial theme of the horses is painted as reflections instead of being part of that detail. It is photographed in front of grey fabric background and a tiny, very low opacity cryocheese icon has been placed in the bottom left corner.

Basically done with that mid section, now, after adding the red gaps and galaxy freehand reflections.
It was really fun to bluetack it together like that for this weeks update shoot! Feels good to see things come together.
