Excellent weathering. Not too little and not too much.

By the way who make the X Wing kit?

Fantastic job, very very nice.

Dave, it looks stunning mate, its got a real vintage look to it as well & this adds so much more to the look, great work bud. I have to say its also really great to be posting about your work now, you've supported so many of my paint jobs thats it feels great to be able to support yours now. I'm more than impressed & thanks for sharing these with us.

 

[Boba Flint]

Alright! Very good job! :thumbsup

 

[vaderdarth]

Thanks fellas. Guy, it's these wonderful builds and paintjobs done by folks like you that give me enough inspiration to tackle these projects in the first place. Some of these things can be quite intimidating.

Thanks for your reply.

 

[vaderdarth]

Most welcome. I have to say, the salzo kit is by far, one of the cleanest kits I've seen personally. Very few bubbles........excellent fit of parts. Mike's a real pro on these things.

Ah the necropost that pushed it over. :lol

Well Flameout, it was worth it. Dave has an impressive collection. If I am out his way, I am going to drop in at Kerner Optical East.

I don't think I had spotted this before either. Love the authentic weathering, especially the final picking/scraping revealing the whites from underneath.

"...a little short..." for an X wing pilot.
Poor old Luke can barely see over the console. :lol Party on modified ILM cockpit.:thumbsup

 

[vaderdarth]

Thanks guys. Yeah since Luke was a little short for a stormtrooper, I figured I'd do away with his booster seat in the Xwing. The way I have it mounted up on the wall, it's doing a roll towards the door of my office, you can see luke and R2 nicely.

 

[Nwerke]

Wow, for once a welcome necropost! I'd missed this too. It's gorgeous.

 

[vaderdarth]

Thanks man!
