Cheers! I actually really enjoy doing detailed painting. I couldn't find the right base colour for the Falcon so I decided to make a base instead. It's not a specific screen location - more an amalgam of the Freighter cargo bay and the resistance base. I made the concrete blocks irregular sizes for visual interest.
I began with Plasticard and scored the block lines and battered it a bit. I sprayed different areas in different shades of grey for variation and added some black swirls and details. This was all buried under many coats of Tamiya Light grey built up with a flat brush. Added some more, subtle details and scars. I then pigmented/weathered with pastel dust and painted more grey in places. Finally, the white lines are decal paper that's been attacked with a scalpel. This is the first time I've done anything close to a diorama! I must get some little cargo crates from somewhere and maybe add a fuel line.
