I just wanted to share my progress to the community on my PG Falcon. This is my first model since I was in middle school when I only built models but never painted them. When the PG Falcon was released, I just had to build it because this is my dream model. I tried and miserably failed my first MPC way back when, and I had to try again with the PG Falcon. Having never painted or weathered anything, I was extremely intimidated, but I continuously read and researched everyone's techniques on here and on youtube. Everyone's work here is truly an inspiration! When I stumbled upon this forum, I couldn't stop reading, and it really brought me back to my middle school days.
Anyways, I've finished most of the weathering on the bottom half. I've included one the reference photos I'm going off of to compare against my work. I gotta say, when it came time to start the weathering and streaks, I was paralyzed and really put off starting that part, but once I got going, it turned out to be the funnest part! Unfortunately I only find enough time to work on it maybe twice a week, but I enjoy every second of it! Getting back into this hobby has really brought some joy to my days! I can't wait to progress more with the sidewalls and top half! I'll post more as I progress. Please feel free to offer some advice and constructive criticism!
