Completed Slave I

Awesome job, that screen is so realistic, love the whole build. I've got a couple of built Starfury's I may redo now after seeing your work.

thanks ade. careful with those clear parts though if you already have them glued on. they crack easily and there's no fixing that. good luck.

Luckily one came off on its own, I just ordered the gun upgrades and a new set of decals to get on with one of em and see how it goes The lighting kit was a little pricey maybe next time

Did you use MIG liquid Dark Wash for the weathing effect, weathering dust/powder, or was it airbrushing skills?

I've a Slave 1 to build, did you contemplate placing any LED's in the engine section?

i use a chalk pastel wash. the end result is probably similar to the mig productions washes. just scrape some chalk pastels off into a dish, add water to made it murky, a drop of dishwashing liquid, then apply. normally i do it over a gloss coat so that it is easily removed. applying it over a flat coat really stains the paint (sometimes that what you want though).

that was on the front of the ship though. i did do some weathering with the airbrush as well. the back/engine area was also done with the pastel wash but mainly that is airbrushing.

i had thought about doing LED's on it, but chickened out. i'd really love to do another Slave I again someday. maybe i'll light that one up.
