plasmahal Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Obligatory Box and sprue shots etc.Made a start on this nicely detailed little kit.Starting with the cockpit, I primed with badgers white primer and the based colour was tamiya German grey. This was dry brushed with vallejo barley grey. details were picked out with different colours. This was gloss coated and then given a dark dirt wash and cleanup. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmahal Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 UPDATE TWOThe snowspeeder was cleaned over with some IPA.Then it was primed with badger's white primer.Then I used a mix of black and dark grey tamiya paints to add some pre-shading and mottling.Then a thin layers of a 3:1:1 XF-2, XF-19 and XF-55 mix was sprayed all over.This was followed up with some panels being highlighted with XF-2 and XF-57 in a 5:1 mix. Then other panels where picked out with just XF-57. The port air brake bay was masked off and sprayed NATO black.Alcald aqua gloss was applied and once dry, the decals added. This was followed up by some sponge chipping with a very dark grey. This was sealed with more aqua gloss.Then a dark dirt wash was applied.This was then cleaned off.After this, a matt coat was applied and final assembly completed. I sprayed the base with the badger white primer and left it that as the finish was very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmahal Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just now, The Chief Smeg said: Can I ask what you use/used to clean the wash off? Hi, I used sheets of kitchen roll cut into quarters and cotton buds. Using those and slightly dampening them with water and using circular motions to take of excess wash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
