Thanks again Fellas!!
Faustus100 - Yes, I think the beginning of this thread shows the light tests. It's going to be exactly the same lighting look/diffuser as the original filming miniature.
NKG - Thanks, that part, thanks to Tsophika, is the Nichimo Elefant.
Dan - You guys are welcome ANYTIME again, love having you over!
Jamie! Much appreciated - and yes, I've already got the Star Destroyer started - just stalled it for this baby! Looking forward to restarting and finishing that replica!
Here's a quick paint update. I'm still working through 'experimenting', and right now, just the rear damage quadrant is getting close. I still have lighter filters to apply, much more weathering, and techniques to tone down the contrasts and bring it all together. But, at least you can see how it's starting to come together.
Working through the battle damage weathering. This is the first layer.
A wider shot with most of the area still working on to blend together and weather panels.
The right side with just a few streaks, but haven't done much over there yet.
And the full shot, the entire upper side needs filters/layers. Also tested out dirtying up one of the maintenance pits, this will get refined to bring it a little 'cleaner' and contrasty.
