Meteors Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hey guys, this is my first model I'm showing here, so be gentle with me! I painted this A-Wing using Tamiya spray cans for the base colours, and then a mixture of products for the detailing and weathering. I'm mostly happy with how it came out, but there are a few areas that could have been done better. I used Racing White for the body, but I feel it came out a little too creamy. If I'd had an airbrush I could have maybe given it another lighter coat, but I didn't want to use another coat from a can as it can be a bit thick. I've bought an airbrush now, so should have better control over base coats. I think i was a little heavy heavy handed on the weathering on the back end, and perhaps the yellow I used for the engine glow was a little too bright, but overall I think it came out ok. Any feedback much appreciated, thanks for looking! Tom 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Wow! That's bright! It almost has an anime look to the colors scheme. I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I think that's outstanding! Remember, in the harsh environment of space/battles, the white wouldn't stay clean or bright looking for long. Nice weathering as well. Mathias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
