I call it "Hasbro Studio Scale"
I can't afford all the props I want and all the Ships I want in Studio Scale. Since the 1986 B Wing (Still used today) and the newer larger scale ships, walkers, etc. are so well done I am going to be re-painting a few for my archives collection. Next will be an ATST, X wing, Modified Y Wing, etc.
I researched several incredible SS B wings that were posted here. I started with the new K Mart B Wing. Covered the screw holes with small shaped pieces of plastic that blend in with the rest of the plating. Took out the window. Primered the whole thing, then covered damage and wear with liquid latex, then a not quite full coat of black, then a base flat white, leaving some areas not totally covered so the black would come through. 95% of the weathering, damage, etc. is NOT topical, it is from underneath.
Not bad for my first attempt at this.
The pics are okay but it looks better in person. I am very happy with it. I took some artistic license and had some fun with it.
Before:
After:
Added foam for a new seat and need to finish a few details in the cockpit.
Covered the screws on the bottom:
The 12" Speederbike and Bikerscout are awesome as they come. I will eventually modify both and have a 12" weathered Hasbro Bikerscout on one of them.
Again 95% of damage and wear in NOT topical. I primered the whole thing, added a entire finish of metallic aluminum, then the proper colors and scratched away. Added some black rubbing on top.
I also dabbed the seat to make it look like leather with some texture. It did not look right smooth. I added leather straps to the sleeping bag to replace the plastic ones. Still need to add buckles I think to the straps.
I still need to finish the controls.
