Gnar-Gnar's Revell Models WIP

[Gnar Gnar Jinn]

So you all were very helpful in my questions about transitioning to Bandai kits.

I figured while I'm honing in some skills on my Revell models I'd post my WIP here. Hopefully I can get some more great feedback that I can take with me to the Bandai kits on my next build.

Here's where I stand right now:

Falcon: (I know, I kinda did this backwards)

Done:
-Washed
-Added streaking

To Do:
-Glue Quad Guns in place
-Add Mount

Pics:

New:


Washed:


W/ Streaking:



T-70: (I know, I kinda did this backwards too...)

Done:
-Grit Washed

To Do:
-Streaking
-Blackwash
-Add Mount
-Fix Canons? (I may be too lazy and leave as is, getting the Bandai version soon)

Pics:

New:


Washed:


The wash on the t-70 has left a slight stain (which I love) but it's less yellow than in the pics... (I had to play with lighting to get the weathering to show somewhat decently)

All of the painting/washing done with oils.

Even just the wash really lifts the details, thanks for sharing

Looking great, dig your washes!

Well done! I love the falcon, it looks really great. Workin' on mine too, thanks to you sir!

Excellent work. It's very easy to over weather and everything looks too dirty, it loses it's realism.....You have found a nice balance...well done.

Ya, that weathering job is stellar! Really love the T-70.

 

[Gnar Gnar Jinn]

thanks for the positive comments! definitely more work to do on the T-70... check out the weathering on the JJ one.

Is it me, or is this x-wing smaller than the old one?

I think they're smaller, definitely shorter nose, I'd guess the engines are shorter (front to back) too. But, I've not seen dimensions between the two compared anywhere... At first, i was not crazy about the new design (maybe because I still have 4 still in boxes to be built!), but it's grown on me. Going to tackle the white one soon.
