Global Scale Modeller

Hey guys, after a few weeks of mojo loss, I decided to get back on the horse by joining this GB.

Picked this little snap together kit up today.



Sprues and instructions.



Cockpit done, didn't do too much here, just a wash, as you can't see much once the canopy's on!



Ten minutes later..... All ready for some paint! The masking looks a bit shabby in the pic but it's ok in real life, lol!



That's all for now, I'm off to look for speeder pics!

Two updates in one night! It's nice to get back into the swing, lol!

Gave the speeder an undercoat, followed by some chipping fluid.



Got to work scrubbing away!





Looks a bit prominent right now, that should get toned down later. Don't worry about the circle underneath, that's where the stand fits!

Masked off for some panel colours.



And then chipped the panels with a small brush.





Sprayed some of the details, now ready for a gloss coat and a visit to the decal dungeon, hoping I can find something useable!



Not too bad for a nights work, thanks for looking guys!

Very very Cool Chief!!

Cheers Mike! your Falcon is looking fantastic btw, good job!

Here's my final update on this.

Got some decals on, just small generic stencils from the decal dungeon.

Gave it a panel line wash with dark grey. Then applied a Matt varnish, and put some filter on some of the panels and a few dots here and there.



Finally, I added a tow cable to the rear, to take out those pesky AT-AT's!



And that's it done! I'll post more in the reveal section.

Cheers guys

Really nicely done.

Looking great, you are doing a good job on a Revell kit
I do totally recommend the new BanDai's

Hey are you guys panel line washing after a clear coat or before on these kits????
They are so beat up and weathered, I did mine before a clear coat so more oil stain would stick but have less control of how much stays

Sweet weathering and chipping mate

Thanks guys!
@twokids I usually do my panel lines after gloss coat. Then I do other weathering after the Matt coat for the reasons you've stated. Hope that makes sense!

Yep it does make sense
I should have cleared mine before I brought out the washes just for more control
Luckily these things get pretty messy and weathered
