Lol, yep! Here's my AT-ST dealing some damage to an ewok. I'll get around to the Falcon this summer. Until then enjoying the amazing work on this thread.Chicken!
Somewhere in this thread was a color map for the Archive X paints. I cannot find the picture again for the like of me. Can someone who has it repost it.
Would be happy to offer tips, advice, lessons learned for you.That looks great! I haven't started mine yet looking forward to having some time. Been practicing on some of the smaller Bandai kits.

I'll do that, thanks!The pipes on the kit are really annoying. The pipes have these little tabs that slot into the larger model, but once they're in place, you can still see the slots. You could get around this by filling in the slots and cutting off the tabs (one option). Also, there are lots of parts that connect in annoying ways, so I would suggest test fitting some of the larger pieces before gluing them.
I was looking for what colors go where for the hull plating. I am very familiar with the one you shared
I experienced mostly the same. But by using Tamiya liquid cement and letting it melt a little in those areas, the gaps were ~80% taken care of and the other ones really not noticeable unless I pointed them out to you.The pipes on the kit are really annoying.

Try Tamiya Mark Fit. It usually helps a lot.I finished the lower hull yesterday the way that I put decals on the painted surface. That means I was between heart attack and instruction in psychiatry.
Those decals got a serious problem with fitting. Or- I am simply unable managing it the right way. Does anybody has got some advice? Are there any secrets?
Any additional glue or something else . . . ( I am not talking about Bandai decals . . . )
I used Future Floor Wax (Johnson Floor Wax with Future Shine) for all the stencils and they worked great.Try Tamiya Mark Fit. It usually helps a lot.

Almost there! All decals now applied. Final stage is to add all of those tiny dashed lines everywhere and do some final tweaking to the panel chipping.
My thanks to SteveTheSwede for doing such an incredible job on this awesome model.
