Bandai Slave I (1/144 scale)

[ScootyPuffjr]

Bandai Slave I (1/144 scale); completed in Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, MIG enamels, and Secret Weapon Miniatures pigments. The stand and the Star Wars decal are from the Fine Molds version of this model and the mythosaur skull was made with my Cameo cutting machine. All and all, I think this kit turned out great. I was pretty nervous about starting it because the paint job is pretty complex, but once I got in the thick of it I was okay. It could probably stand to use some more weathering and I'll probably do some before I take it to the model club meeting next month, but for now I'm calling it done (except for the blob of grey paint on the bottom of the rear skirt, I noticed that when shooting the photos and have since fixed it).


Comments and criticism are welcomed as always!

WOW that looks great. I'm apprehensive about 1/144 but Bandai's kits have all been awsome so far, I did the 1/144 Falcon and loved everything about it.

Very nice. It's definitely one of the trickiest Star Wars schemes to replicate.

Very well done- it does not look like 1:144 scale at all!
What technique did you decide to do the paint chipping with?

Thanks!

I used liquid masking for all of the paint chipping. I had originally done chipping fluid (like the hairspray method) for the skirt but I didn't like the result so I repainted it.
