Lovely finish Mick, even though I'm not a hardcore SW fan I do have a Speederbike dio build that keeps being called up for duty at SW events. I'm going to be stuck at one this weekend listening to endless Return of the Jedi theme music. :smiling6:
Good call on painting it with the chipping and weathering. Turned out really nicely.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thanks Wabble I do like my scifi but not at geek level :smiling: Hope you have a good weekend

Just had a ketchup on this Mick, lovely work so far and that chipping looks really effective! :thumb2:

Thanks Rick, new technique for me but I like it

Base knocked up, addition of some decals and weathering with starship filth, fuel and oil stains. Moving to completed builds tomorrow

That's turned out a real beauty Mick. I've heard of using masking fluid for chipping but this is the first time I've seen it done. It has worked well.

Thanks Jim, I just need to refine the application but like with everything practice makes perfect

I've made a bit more progress but needed to get some decals on the the cockpit and needed to paint up the pilot because it will get to the point where I cant put him in. As I was going to be painting one I've also painted up the other one supplied if you're displaying it on the ground. I was really impressed with the detail in these 1/72 figures, not so impressed with the three part helmet decals. Loads of micro sol used to settle them down. I think a different base now instead of the one supplied to use both figures and their droid.

Nice figures, really neat.
