Beefkr10z Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) I've not finished the base, but here's my take on the Force Awakens Falcon. The model was primed in Citadel black from a rattle can, with a couple of light base coats of that rare beast Tamiya AS-20. For the panelling I used the supplied water slides, with lots of coats of Microsol. Everything else was completed with multiple pin washes in brown & black, with a couple of spots of soot airbrushed on (it was my first time using an airbrush, so be gentle!), and finally the streaking was a built-up mix of brown & black Gundam real touch markers (these blend up so well, and are very forgiving if you have an incident!). Looking at some of the other builds of this kit online, it seems to be all too easy to end up with a model that's a little too dark, so I tried to keep the weathering subtle to keep the overall base colour bright. Adding a touch of brown to any black washes also helped to keep the tones warm after the harsh black primer coat. Anyway, I hope you like the results!

Beefkr10z Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Great result. Really like the battle damage - I chickened out on attempting that I swear I had such shaky hands when taking a Dremel to a perfectly good (and not entirely cheap) model kit!

Beefkr10z Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Just as a last addition, I finished the base. The paint scheme was kept ultra simple with a Vallejo light sand coating, With a few drops of white added to the mix & sprayed at an angle to catch some highlights from one side. The supplied base looked far too plain by itself, but it turns out that a 10x15cm photo frame is pretty much a perfect fit!

jake the snake Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Nice subtle paint job. The streaks make it look studio scale! Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
