Cool! Yeah let me know how that vac-form works out.

That’s insane! Love it

Did you use the rotary tool to chip away the paint?

Minor decals done, final flat coat, Canopy and guns are installed. I’m calling her done. Placed on a temporary stand at the workbench. I’ll do some better photography later this week. Biggest woe for me on this kit is actually the canopy which is very toy-like with a hinge and tab. Sorta...

Hey, been off these forums for a bit and just found this thread. I’m just finishing up my REVELL Slave-1. I also did a few detail improvements but left the cockpit mostly alone. My thread goes a bit more into the paints and colors I used which I’m very happy with...

Well I hadn’t worked on this all summer and autumn but renewed work after Christmas. ALMOST DONE. Completed my weathering washes (oils) and put on a flat coat tonight. Got just a few decals, guns, rear sensor dish and canopy to attach yet.

Been working on this a little here and there. Finished the major painting and did some touch-ups and weathering. I have yet to do the splotches on the shoulders which are a bit dark green glossy looking. A final Matt coat will help too.

Laid down the misty Grime overspray. I did put it on too heavy! So I spent some time wet sanding with a 3600 grit sanding pad to bring back a little brilliance of the green. I than masked off and sprayed the Pullman Green shoulders with my old jar of Polly S. The old Polly S jar...

That British Interior Grey-Green is an obscure color. Looks like Mig, AK, Alclad II, and Vellejo do make a version.

Decided to brush on the mottled contrasting grey-green. I’m using an old Jar-Jar of Poly S that has been sitting under my workbench for over a decade. Can’t hardly read the label! I can make out “ British Interior Grey-Green” barely. A long out of production jar from Polly S. Learning...

Analyzer great example. “model of a model” essentially is what I have going on!

Been doing more research on paint and colors than actually building and painting. But got back to the painting this week. So Archive X has excellent paint matches for the colors used by ILM, no question there. It is a little mystery of what is used where however. So, the question is, do I...

It’s cold and froze over outside so I worked on the skirt this weekend. First I started with a base coat of Lt Grime, than used a laytex liquid mask for chipped areas. Second, I mixed the Llt Grime and Boxcar Red to get a Salmon color and put down a light coat. Third I added more Latex...

Doing a little homework on the Green shoulders (Porsche Fenders) where the “wings” attach. Heard on. Facebook page that Pullman Green was used for these. So happens I have a Jar and did a comparison with some like color jars. I did a little study. 3 greens here that look similar in the...

Awesome thanks for sharing. I also like the chipping on the Florida Launch Bay one better! Yes, color tone and saturation seems consistent.
