Thanks again
A very quick guide to what i did:
First built the main body complete and i built the 4 wings complete.
Cockpitwindow, cockpit, pilot and R2 seperate.
The whole X-Wing was primed with Tamiya gray primer (the regular one).
Luke was primed in white (Games Workshop Skull White Primer).
Next step was airbrushing the X-Wing completly with Model Masters Camouflage Gray.
Then everything was masked and painted with several colors. I used salt with water for the chipped paint. Some scratches were painted by hand, some were real...
After that the weathering started. First i did some pastels but realized it would take a 1000 years to get it where i want it... so i used my airbrush with acrylic black paint to weather. I use a airbrush color from "Schminke" for that. You can spray it in the recesses and wipe it away with your fingers. Great effekt.
Then i used Oil Wash for the heavy weathering (believe me it looks very heavy weathered now, as promised i will post photos when i have the wings ready
).
Dark brown and black oil color was used.
Some sandcolor for different areas and so on. It is a long process of adding and taking away dirt until it fits to the original colors. Everything is sealed and dulled down with Gunze flat varnish.
I have to thank some people here from the board for some of the hints to get this right. I guess i used every technique known on this model
So stay tuned for further progress
