[Guest]

Here's my Moebius Galactica. Nice little kit. I really like the base with the raised emblem.

Very nice work on the Galactica, can you tell me what grey colours you used?

Hey Scott. I used Tamiya paints neutral grey, sky grey, and dark grey. To be honest I don't remember if there was a straight color used as I'm pretty sure I mixed the shades together for faded looks and not being happy with how light/dark certain things turned out. I did this one close to a year ago at this point so I'm going on shaky memory.

I also did some sponge chipping with testors enamel, plain grey, on the armor plates. It was more distinct before I put the clear coats and weathering on but it's still there if you look.

That's a cracker and I painted mine in the same colours , I'm at he moment putting battle damage on mine as I thought it looked too clean

I'm not that familiar with BSG but your model looks superb, I blew the pics up on screen to better appreciate all the subtle grey shades. Did you apply a wash in the panel lines?

[Guest]

thanks guys. yes mike, i think this was the first model i used ak interactive products on. i used one of their washes for the panel lines and in between ribs of the beast. i used to use just a chalk pastel wash so it was a bit of an experiment for me to use an oil based wash.

Like this a lot Jim, great stuff.
