ScootyPuffJunior Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Bandai 1/72 scale X-wing starfighter (Luke Skywalker's Red 5) commission. Finished in Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics; 502 Abteilung oils; and Tamiya weathering pastels.I didn't do a WIP log for this build because it's more or less the same as the one I did in October of last year. I tweaked a few of the colors and weathered the panels a little more but other than it's pretty much a repeat of that build, though I think it came out a little better than my last one. The best thing I changed was using a 3mm clear acrylic rod instead of the supplied flight stand to hold the model. I just wish it was a little easier to source those rods here in the States; to get one at a reasonable price I had to order it from Hong Kong. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenBills Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm a recent convert to the acrylic rod myself. Helps lend it a bit more credibility as a model, rather than a toy. SB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
