Here's another one. It has been great following all the other builds of this kit.
I got this nearly 2 years ago and it has been a long slow process to get it done. Due to the lockdown I have finally had the extra time and have got to a point where I am done tinkering. I am sure there are some more bits I could do here and there but I am calling it done.
I used mostly Tamiya paints and Tamiya weathering kits.
My base colour was made with 9 parts flat white and 1 part deck tan, which I was more than happy with. Althought Tamiya white can be a pain to spray.
Lots of masking and a few mistakes along the way. 1 broken pipe which I was able to repair and 1 small lost part which was annoying but no drama.
My lighting was home built and as simple as possible. I dont really know electronics so it is nothing fancy. I will post more pics of the lights when I can.
There was a lot or consulting with reference pics of to make sure I wasn't overdoing it. I did very little in regards to wash's and I did not do any pre-shading. After looking at the reference pics I decided that there was very little in regards to wash's and such.
My reference pics were mostly from the following google drive that I got from Ant at "Bashing Kits" Millennium Falcon Five Foot Studio Model - Google Drive
Here are some pics (quite a few actually) of the process and the finished product.
Any questions I am happy to answer.
