Finemolds Y-Wing

That's not an Y-Wing in particular, I did my own paintjob cuz I will use it in the background for my fanfilm.
I quickly painted it (about 1 hour) and I have more to do. I tried new technics (for me) to create the chips effect.

Wow thats awesome. One hour! Geez thats fast. Most impressive.

Looks great! The paint chipping is extremely nice for an experiment... Heck it nice for having done it as a regular practice The rest of the paint looks pretty good too - perhaps a little dark on the main body greeblies but it still looks good - those Y's are supposed to be a bit grungy :lol

Thanks Isel

I have to admit that's very small, so you can rush it ! :lol
The longer part was drawing and cutting the masks for the yellow makings ! :lol

I will probably use it as a pyro model !

 

[BlindSquirrel]

What was the technique that you used for the paint chipping? It looks really great!

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks

I applied latex with a sponge.

That looks AWESOME !!

For such a small model, you did a fantastic job.

Instead of destroying this one, have you considered building another one and making a mold of it? You could use expandable foam or styrafoam in the mold and blow the hell up with that one. I hate to think such a fine model getting blown apart ....:cry

I agree. Excellent weathering job, especially given the small size of the model. Sorry to hear you'll be blowing it up.

Great job bro, weathering is very simple, yet so effective on this little bird.
I have to admit, i wanna see you blow it up, itll be way cool lol!

Thanks guys

Well James now that's a good idea ! I will get one more and cast it in expandable foam !

I have an idea, maybe use the cockpit and the engine nacelles from the kit, glued to the body, cast in foam. So I can reuse the nacelles and cockpit (I save time, I have not to repaint them ). And if we take a look when Y blow up, the nacelles come apart !
