Sand crawler help not really feeling this one!

[mrstubbs]

Having trouble getting the paint right. Any suggestions, tutorials, problems you guys had? What base color did you guys use?

Sorry I havent looked at the paint yet. When i do i will be looking at the new Archive-X paint line that will be available soon.

Those paints are color matched to the old floquil laquer line and should be a good starting point for these models.

Do you have a link or more info on the new Archive-X paint?

Oh and is this the randy cooper kit or something else?

That's the cooper kit.

That's the cooper kit.

Ok then you should really move this to the general modeling forum since it isnt studio scale.

i used tamiya XF-64 red brown,once all the layers of weathering were applied after, it came out quite close to the ILM model.

I have this beast of a kit ready to go into production once I have finished Randy Star Destroyer - really looking forward to making the crawler although I did a quick box content check of it last weekend and can see I have a lot of warping to overcome ahead of me - mind you, that's what makes Randy's kits special and all the more of a challenge !

Good luck with your paint job

Soak the parts in really warm bath water, then lay them flat with some weight to flatten them out.
