Hero/CC X wing hybrid Red leader completed!
- Thread starter ralphee
- Start date
Thanks Jerry, its starting to look OK now, still have to stop myself on the weathering, its a tricky balance to make her look clean like Red Leader, yet still a bit banged up.
Ill try work on getting the rest of the weather job done today and painting in all the tiny black squares seen on the surface of the prop.
Some areas are weather via speckling, flicking paint from a toothbrush, it seems to work well and gives a rough studio appearance.
Ive bagged a harrier pilot from a buddy, so ill be putting him in now and painting the R2 red/white as seen on the screen.

Not far off now, got the guns fitted (please dont mention the crooked one, its a sore point lol)
Just have to decide on the harrier pilot, few more little bits of detail to do and hopefully the next pics will be completed ones.
Was playing with the bluescreen thing too, need some practice at taking pics lol.

OK got this all finished up now, nothing really more new cept for a few tweaks, decals and a shot of dullcote.
Im no photographer so the pics are the best i can do lol, its about as accurate as i could get her, and im pretty happy with the turn out.

Still waiting on an MR style case (should be with me soon) but the collection is small but growing.
Still gotta get my Red Jammer Y wing on this racking yet.

Excellent ralphee... :thumbsup
Thanks Flint Jerry ill take some, the underside had to be just a simple idealise overall, but the effect fits, i think the pic i followed to do the underside was one of the pyro prop.
This model has a masked off large area under the hull to which ILM just seemed to blast with the airbrush in black fade.
I took that idea and did the same, just a lot fainter. I never did go too far with this model, as i didnt want to idealise too much, i didnt want a model X wing, i wanted as close a prop replica as i could acheive.
