Are those colors you pulled directly from the photo or are they Archive X swatches?
Very nice! It sure does simplify.Just picked from the photo,....I'm doing a Studio Scale B-Wing at the moment & I was having a hard time determining what shade of blue was on the ship in various places,....then I decided to use the paint picker in PhotoShop,.....helped me a lot,....just isolating that particular area from the surrounding colours

I second that opinionMy opinion is that paint always looks better.

What do you all think about forgoing primer and base coat and going straight to weathering and painting on the bare plastic? The color of the plastic looks pretty good to me.
Plastic has an inherent translucency your eye can detect. It might be subtle, but it's there. If you prime it (primer is a must) and then paint it, the details will pop sharper because the translucency is now covered and your surface is fully opaque.
I used oils as one of my mediums on my falcon with no ill effects. I should say that I used automotive primer under AS-20. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.Has anyone tried using oil paints for weathering on this falcon yet?.. I'm doing the falcon discoloration technique I've seen on YouTube..i used it on my FM falcon & my Hasbro hero series conversion falcon after primer& paint.i like how it looks.. but I don't know about using this technique on the bandai falcons because of the bandai plastic problems with oil paints..the Abteilung 502 oil paints that I have are expensive & I want to use them.. but afraid to. Help!!!

Yes [emoji16]. I used both latex making and scratched other areas with the dremel. Although I would have to say it's hard to get little chip effects at this scale with the latex mask. I sometimes go back over with the Dremel to try to add finer chipping to the latexed areas if that makes any sense.Kokkari, what method did you use for paint chipping, the paint and scratch method or some masking fluid?
