Guy...wow, thats wonderful work, as for the paint difference, i cant pick it up on my screen, stunning and the blue is spot on to my eye!
The outdoors pics really show off the weather job well, very archive and dirty, almost looks real world.
You have done a super job bud, cant wait to see your PD now, mailed you on the mounting issue too bud!

Holy ****,Man paint and weathering look killer.I think I'm going to paint and weather mine how the model looks now also.I like my props with the aged,used look,like my beatup stormtrooper armor.Again great job I love it.

I like the Koolshade Guy, its a nice touch, im sure the prop just has a hole there to access the machined mounting point at the moment....i think LOL.

Sorry mate forgot to tell you, its all Tamiya, mostly medium blue/ medium grey, with some white & a lighter blue & a mist of dark green & if I remember right there was some dark green in the base coat as well? some flat black & german grey shading between base coats & the weathering is a mix of grey & light brown pastel with black pastel in the mix in places. The Wing panels are flat black with a coat of clear satin by Games workshop.

Oh I used deck tan in there as well as its a superstition of mine now, but you could prob leave that out? If I did it again I'd of used a little less of the medium blue 45/65 with the grey.

Guy, I was just praising the koolshade on your Interceptor this afternoon!!! Love that detail. I don't care if it's screen accurate if it's interesting to look at. :)

I just got an order of panavise stuff from ebay.com seller phantomdiscounters, I got part number 326-06 for my AT-ST but it worked out perfect for the Tie int. just open the mount hole a tiny amount & it fits like a glove. A very easy & cheap mount for any Tie Int. I'll add a pic later.
 
Guy,

Now that gets my heart pumping! Fianlly getting to a place where i can read some of these great posts! Great job and way to nail the Interceptor! Thats the way the kit is suppose to look.

On the AT-ST Please send me a picture of the parts of the ATST that warped. I now cast steel rods into the castings so they will never warp or bend in any natural posed condition. Send me your address as well and I'll ship you a free replacement set.
