Dream Gear is a new kit maker, and its first kit is a 1/3000 scale Arkhitect Advanced Research Colonizer (ARC), a spacecraft based on the Iwata HP-C Plus airbrush. The kit includes a USB-powered lighting system. Using his Iwata brush, Rob painted the ship with various Tamiya grays, them flowed on Vallejo washes to pop details. “To add contrast, I painted the reactor core and rings copper,” Rob says. “I replaced the lit base with a Polar Lights dome base painted to look like a nebula.”
