That is really nice Pierre.

Very subtle panel pin wash there Pierre, looks really nice, do I detect a hint of paint in there too?

Thank you Gentlemen

For the pin wash:

X22 clear varnish Tamiya well dried

a good thin brush (size 0) Prince August and "Tamiya Panel line accent color " (Black)

A lot of time and patience...i can't imagine someone doing pin wash on a Star Destroyer

A swab moistened with white spirit to erase deposit marks

This phase took me much more time than the paint one...

Cheers

Pierre

Well Pierre, the view from here says it was worth the effort.

Great work. A lot of people tend to neglect Revell because Bandai have spoiled us with their Star Wars line but you've shown that Revell can look amazing too. I like the larger scale as well.

I confirm, Revell's (finemolds) Tie is really a nice kit and a pleasure to build.

cheers
