Crackerjazz' Bandai 1/144 TFA Falcon

Hi, guys, I've been following your builds very closely. Wanted to join the group build but then I wanted to document my build a bit easier so I decided to start another thread. Here's my progress from the past 3 weeks so far:


After seeing Jaitea's thinned canopy I just had to thin mine as well:

But then after I saw his beautiful glassed canopy, I wanted to take a stab at it, too. Maybe I'll try it later on. Sorry, John, but your work is just infectious. What I have qualms about trying, though, is lowering the raised detailing on the cockpit tunnel. I still couldn't figure out how you guys managed to accomplish that. Crazy skills you guys have!

Hey, what did you use for pre-shading the hull? And what did you do :D Thank you! GREAT build!
 
Hi asplogin, thanks! For the shading I airbrushed on some Humbol flat black enamel and wiped everything away, leaving the black in the crevices. I'm not too happy with it, though. You should really check out other guys' ILM-like 1/144 Falcon paintjobs -- highly recommend Jaitea's and Astroboy's like work along with many other 1/144 Falcon builders here. Mine stays shelved until I've practiced painting enough. I'm just terrible at it.
