Absolute stunner, man. I love the rusty hues so much - adds a metric ton of character!

Here's some larger, clearer shots of the last two.

 

[qcfoundry]

totally agree (with everyone else) and ga-ga over the metal sheen you have. looks like perfect smooth cast iron with some smoke and rusty notes. beautiful!!!

 

[ralphee]

Looks bloody superb, more akin in sheen to the 1/1 prop, really like that!

Great job! It looks perfect. Awesome build overall.

 

[marsattack]

Thank you all, for your comments
I did change the dust and I haven't yet put the brown wash , gotta find a brown,
Here is the new dust on it, I believe it's closer

 

[dsp5500]

Man i cant wait to see this with a wash,filter and some weathering. Getting excited to do mine.

 

[Zombie Killer]

Very awesome bud!!! That paint and all of it looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[CutThumb]

Exceptional work, these builds are inspirational. The finishing is the closest yet I've seen to the original studio model (pre repair work respray). C'est manifique!

 

[marsattack]

Thank you , that's a big claim mate!!

Did the head today , think it looks fine, will do a few washes once the whole thing is done .

Mars, you've hit this right out of the park mate.. astonishing work, I'm in total awe..

I will be seeing Lorne, Steve, Paul and some of the other ILM vets the weekend of the 21st Sept in San Francisco and since those guys built the origin model I'll HAVE to show them what a killer job you've done bud!

Brilliant!

Highest regards

MARK

What a great job, I love the texture ! It looks like heavy cast iron, nice !

I actually convinced my self I could map out a leg every other day:wacko
No such luck unfortunately, Just over a week spent on the main leg.
There so deceptively put together in certain sections.
