Hi Lee, Sorry for the late response. I've only just seen your question. As best as I can remember, the main colours I used were these... The lightest colour on the upper hull was a mix of JA Grey and White. I can't remember the exact ratio, I just mixed it by eye until it looked about right. It was probably about 50/50, but maybe a little more white if anything. The darker colour for the upper hull chipping was Gunze RLM02 and Tamiya XF-76. Again, can't remember how much of each, but the mix may well have had some white in as well. I didn't want it to be that much darker than the base colour. That got me to this The dark green was NATO Green, with a little XF-11 JN Green added for shading The base colour for the skirt was the same as the upper hull. The hardest colour to match was the pinky-grey tone that shows up under the dark red in places. I thought I'd need to mix it, but then I remembered I got a Vallejo Game Colour shade that looked about right. That was Heavy Warm Grey, and I think I added a little dark grey to it as well The red for the skirt was mainly Cavalry Brown, with a little Panzer Aces Light Rust added, then some Hull Red mixed in for shading I wouldn't say that any of the colours are exact matches to the original, or even close really, so they could all be adapted or altered to suit. Hope some of that was useful. I'm looking forward to seeing your build. You don't see many of them being done anymore. Revell would have been better off re-releasing this one instead of the 72nd Falcon. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Thank you very much Andy!,That will be a huge help,i do have most of the colours,but it was more about how and when you apply them that really brings the weathering to life,i think you are correct about Revell,they should have re-released the Slave 1,I just bought the Bandai PG 1/72 Falcon kit,i was very lucky,the seller in the US only valued the kit at $50 so i avoided a huge import tax ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimmerian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 been off the forum for ages and thought to myself "I wonder what that Andy bloke has been up to on britmodeller" so popped in here for a looksee.

Dances With Wolves Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's always a treat to see anything from your stable Andy. Your Slave is an inspiration and simply confirms you again as my favourite sci-fi kit basher. What's next Andy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's generally whatever I like the look of at the time. I've got a few of the Bandai box scale kits on their way from Japan, so it'll probably be one of those. Slave 1 is quite an old one (2014 I think), so there's been quite a few in the intervening time. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Piero, If by scenario you mean a diorama, then I was intending to do one at some point but, as yet, I haven't found the time. Hopefully I'll get around to it eventually.

Portaler Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm still lighting a candle each night in hope that Bandai make a Slave 1 in 1/72. Hopefully we'll see the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
