nimrod54 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 After finally achieving a finished model in the last Bank Holiday Blitzbuild, I decided to see if I could repeat the success, so here is my entry for this weekend of holiday fun. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Don't worry about finishing the Death Star, even George Lucas didn't manage that and he had a bit longer than a bank holiday weekend ! Good luck cheers Pat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 It was 07:00pm by the time I got todays chores out of the way, the most important one being the starting of the Damson Vodka. Once that little lot was out of the way I made a start on assembling the Death Star interior parts. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr After one hours work, this is what I had. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr And fifteen minutes later I had it primed. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 This is how I left things last night with the inner sections assembled and everything primed up. Once we had got back from walking Molly and I had sorted out the weeds on the driveway, I could finally make a start on the first job for today - painting the outer shell of the Death Star. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr And here they are after three coats of Lifecolor Light Compass Grey. by John L, on Flickr I am off shortly to make a start on painting some of the smaller components of the Star Destroyer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 I know that I said I was going off to paint some of the small parts of the Star Destroyer, but I could not resist adding the outer shell to the Death Star first. A bit of filler on some areas where they meet, but I don;t want to do too much, afterall, it is supposed to be under construction. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Having got a coat of paint on some of the parts for the Star Destroyer, I am calling time on this one for today (22:50). With the paint being the same colour as the plastic, it's not that easy to see where I have been with the brush other than those parts painted have a matt finish. See y'all tomorrow for the final push. by John L, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm just about to start today's session and hope to have these done by tonight. by John L, on Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have filled the seams of the outer shell on the Death Star using some Perfect Plastic Putty and wiping them over with a wet finger. I have to touch those in with some more Light Compass Grey. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr Then I assembled the Star Destroyer and I've just finished brushing on the second coat of paint, I think that I will give it a final thin coat once I have had something to eat. by John L, on Flickr And whilst I have a Star Wars theme going, I decided to dig out a project that I had started a little while ago and make an effort to get it finished. I won't be including it in the Blitzbuild though. by John L, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have a tiny Revell Millennium Falcon in the stash - Blitzbuild material if ever there was any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I finished these around 20:45 tonight, adding the engines and then the tiny golf ball shapes to complete the Star Destroyer. I painted over the filler on the Death Star and then brushed a dark grey on the slightly recessed ares of the outer shell. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr I'll post some more photos in the gallery shortly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
