Ooh cool I'm on my phone so couldn't see the hover over.. Shall look on my computer later Thank you!

Yeah I'm using Tamiya acrylics.. When you say IPA what do you mean? The only IPA I know of is the ale That sprue trick is useful though!

Okay it's not quite a model but you have to admit this is pretty tempting to try and make! http://m.instructables.com/id/DIY-Life-Size-Phone-Controlled-BB8-Droid/

So I finally started my bandai slave one.. But I spent so long trying to get that base colour right that I messed up and now the paints on too thick.. What's the best way to strip the paint back as I know the plastic can react to some chemicals.. Any help would be much appreciated!

Not that I'm aware of.. It's a cool idea but everyone want bigger not smaller! Although smaller does mean cheaper not that bandai are that expensive anyway

Interesting bandais next wave https://flic.kr/p/DH5Ac2

Nice work looks good I'm hoping to start a WIP of this model that I got for Christmas.. the detail is insane!

No I have looked at a lot of Andys build and I think he does use magic! Yeah it's going to be hard getting the scale, the bandai models although really well detailed are crazily tiny! And I haven't painted any thing that detailed for a while.. Most my models lately end up being Lego with the little one Not sure how I will paint the tiny Boba Fett that comes with the kit, is it possible to paint with a needle and microscope?

Hi Andy It was actually the weathering techniques from your RFI that I was planning to try out so that really helpful to see the colours you used

That's perfect thank you exactly what I'm after! Once I get the paints and start the model, I will have my first WIP ready to start posting

Hi I recently got the bandai Slave 1 kit for Christmas and I'm im not sure what colours to paint it.. I've seen some really good techniques for painting the weathering but I don't know what colours to actually use. Can anyone help?

I have to say your builds are just inspiring I can't wait to get the opportunity to try out some of your techniques

I'm holding out for this kit for Christmas! I've never lit a kit but I want to give it a go.. And what better kits to start with, I will definitely be in contact after Christmas.
