So I finally got around to build my Bandai Slave 1 kit. I basically built this kit to prepare for building the Finemolds version pictured below. I purchased the Finemolds a while back as I thought when I finally build my 1/72 PG Falcon, this would look good next to it on the wall as they are the same scale.
I have never done any paint chipping with paint like this. The only other time I attempted it was when I did the 1/144 Falcon and for that one, I chipped the decals by scratching and sanding them a bit.
Now I know this is not super accurate and it's maybe a bit over weathered (what can I say, it's the part I like the most...) but any input on your favorite ways to paint chip would be welcome for sure!
The process I used was to mix up XF-2, XF-19 and a few drops of XF-71 & XF-59. Then I just tore up a few of those cheap foam brushes.
For the weathering, I used a mixture of oil paints and pigments. This is the second model I have used the pigments on and it's one of my new favorite ways to add some texture to the weathering process.
