jimmydel Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Wow. Absolutely stunning. Just had a good read of your WIP too. I've been wanting to do something from Star Wars for my brother and sister in law and you've just made the decision for me. Love the weathering and paint work. Just beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMD70 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've been following the build which just got better and better with each update… Didn't think the finish could improve on what I'd already seen but seems I was wrong. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for the kind words everyone stunning build looks great, fantastic job on the paint and weathering and the base looks great.... may I ask out of interest how high is it??? as thinking getting one myself but cant find any info on height etc It's about 7" to the top of the head (excluding Chewie's bonce) which scales out to be pretty much spot on for 1/48 as the original is supposed to be 8.6m high The photo probably gives a better idea against a regular 10ml Tamiya pot Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screech Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Nice Job! Might have to pick one up for myself and see if I can do it justice! P.S.

Richard E Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 An excellent build - your WIP inspired me to order one from HLJ which arrived in less than a week although I'm planning to build mine in an alternative scheme from the grey ROTJ version - I wonder what Imperial nose art would look like?

sithman Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Fantastic model! How did you achieve the what looks to be paint flaking off with the black showing through and the weathering of the feet? Top notch work! Thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Fantastic model! How did you achieve the what looks to be paint flaking off with the black showing through and the weathering of the feet? Top notch work! Thomas Thanks Thomas The paint chipping was done by applying dark grey paint (Vallejo Black Grey in this case) with a sponge. The sponge was dipped in the paint then dabbed on a piece of paper to remove most of the paint then lightly pressed onto the surface. The mud on the feet was done with pigments applied dry then fixed in place with a thinned AK wash Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 A sponge!? I would have never thought of that! it really makes the kit "pop" As does the awesome foot weathering. I have had decent luck with adding talcum powder (or any powder like flour) and then stipple/dry brushing it onto tank wheels and tracks but your pigment job looks so much more.....realistic! Thank you again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brolyss4 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Fantastic!! Very inspiring. Andy, how you did the streaky pattern? I mean, after painting the NATO black, you did a streaky pattern with medium sea grey, how you did that technique? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
