It's tricky and takes a bit of planning, Kev. I wanted to include the shading , but didn't want to over do it , my thinking was less is more . The lines on the kit bear little resemblance to the filming model which presumably would have had different make overs for each of the films, so I just looked for appealing and subtle patterns. I've got a couple more of these kits in the stash, including the lighted version, so I'll be revisiting the paint scheme at some point in the future.
That I like a lot! Not sure I've got the courage (or the energy), to take on that paint scheme.

Absolutely astounding! That tricky paint scheme would put me right over the edge - more power to you! SFZ
ReplyDeleteCheers Zigg. A lot of the finer detail I decided to do with an art brush rather than mask and spray. It's not perfect but it's quicker.
