My DeAgo Falcon

[Real Scooby]

The Falcon saw release in Jan 16 over here in ( Germany - Austria region ), so at the very moment we are halfway through the build.
Although I am pretty impressed with all those custom 3Dprinted parts and etched sets, I keep it to an OOB-build. The whole kit on its own is expansive enough, and altough I am painting the interiors too, I plan to show off the finished piece with the hull closed. Only the extra light-sets out there are tempting, but me and everything electric is like ...ugh

Here some progress pics so far

As with my Bandai, again I only use standard acryls and handpainting. I never was able to get any Tamiya AS-20 so I found my own mix for the base color. I simply use "Cappucino" as base color, which make it look pretty strange and yellowish at first..



... but after a added black-wash...


...and a layer of "cappucino"-drybrush...


...Perfect, IMO

That interior looks fantastic for being a straight OOB build! Your paint and weathering are top notch, great job!

 

[Real Scooby]

hmmmmm... doesn´t close 100% , is there a way to finetune ?

 

[Real Scooby]

Rear right-hand "lil scar" section finished

 

[Real Scooby]

Section "left-front-gear-box-quarter" finished

 

[Real Scooby]

Section "right-front-gear-box-quarter" finished. Refpics for this area are pretty rare and hard to find, and in most cases very blurry or way overlighted, so I was working with just a scan of a page from the Chronicles book, showing the full belly.



Now just the "jaw" left, will do this the coming days, then I´ll take a break from painting until the top-hull is finished

 

[bwize]

I'm lovin your weathering and streaks! Great job.

 

[Real Scooby]

bwize : thank you for the kind words

 

[Real Scooby]

"jaw" finished at last



and now, ladies and gentlemen, behold the finished ( for now ) belly



Pretty satisfied how it turned out, as I really was worried to mess it up Need to darken the yellow panel on the ramp a little
