Bandai Slave 1 - 1:144 scale

[PixelMagic]

The mailman dropped off a lovely new model kit to build over the weekend. I was very inspired by John Simmons' Fine Molds build, so I wanted to go ahead and start.

My eyes hurt.

I am SO jealous!! I think I'll have to put this kit on my christmas list...

 

[JohnSimmons]

Those are small! Looking forward to seeing what you do

 

[Scootypuffjunior]

Awesome!

I should hopefully get mine early this week. Unfortunately, it's going to have to go directly into the stash because I have a lot a couple of commissions on my bench that need to be finished before I can work on my own stuff.

Crickey!!

 

[Grendels]

Looking forward to more!

 

[BenHobbie]

Me too

And I think I will suffer with all the 1/144 figs that will come with my falcon because if one made your eyes suffer I think four of them will melt mine :

Cockpit assembled and painted. Will try to weather it tomorrow.

Cockpit looks good here

Small update. Boba now has a wash to bring out details, and also his bounty...

 

[Scrach]

Looking good.
I REALLY wish Bandai would have released this in a larger scale...

Fourth time's the charm on the engine skirt painting. Heh. I had never used the hairspray method for painting chipping, but it allowed me to chip the engine skirt exactly like I wanted, so I'm happy with the results. The lighter pink chips were painted on with a small brush and Vallejo paint.

After looking at more research, I also realized I had painted the cockpit the completely wrong color, so now I've repainted it green like it is supposed to be.

I've still got an AMT Slave One in my closet I plan on pulling out sometime! Nice work!

 

[PixelMagic]

Completely repainted the cockpit to match the studio miniature. Weathered too.

Wow! That thing is Micro Machine size!
