Meng Lexington 1:Egg

Post by bfrd » Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:56 am

Here are the final shots of the Meng Egg Lexington. This was an extremely complicated build for an Egg kit. Mainly due to painting which isn't technically required. But then again, we don't technically follow the rules, do we? I used Bader/Ultimate primers and Vallejo Model Air paints for the color. The VERY minimal weathering was done with AK pencils and Tamiya's panel line wash. Finally, a shot of Testor's Dullcote to seal it up.

Very nicely done!

How did you get on with the AK Pencils? I've got some tucked away on the bench somewhere but haven't tried them yet.

Cheers, Neil

The were surprisingly easy to use. I watched a video on them first.
