Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Yes. Good advice Lab. That's kinda what I did. Lots of trial and error at first, so beginning with the bottom lets you learn what works best for the top.
As for me, I use Tamiya's weathering master for most of the weathering (streaks, blast marks, minor grimes).
I seem to be a minority here in that I am not using airbrush at all, partly because I am limited to working on this thing in short sessions.
One thing that I might recommend to others from my experience, is to finish the underside first, before going beyond base coating the upper hull (if you prioritize the end result of the upper hull, that is).
I presume many members of this forum are well experienced with painting the Falcon, but this Perfect Grade model is quite a different beast.
I learned quite a lot of "what not to do" doing the underside, which became beneficial when I started on the upper hull.
