Pre contest quickie: AT-AT

[Junkie]

Been messing around with more preshading and highlights. I've revisited the black a bit with the new Badger primer black and I've picked out some pure white highlights with a brush thanks to the tip from Simmons. Have to get legs, neck and head glued up.

Almost ready for basecoat. I'm thinking a mix of Tamiya med grey and some kinda light blue. Any recommendations?

Don't want to rush this but getting anxious to crack into a contest build.

Looks killer so far. The pre-shading almost looks like a good finish on its own.

Looking great Scott! Not go snip some parts of a sprue and start your contest build! LOL

 

[Unreality]

Nice modulation and highlights.

The way the foot is raised and the highlights, it almost looks like a runway model stepping out. "And now, Miss KDY in her Walker apparel. She is truly All-Terran in these leggings. And how about those blasters...wouldn't want to be caught in that crossfire, boys." ;D

Wicked. And looks huge!

 

[nicholassagan]

Haha yeah man, it's like a shadow walker!

 

[Junkie]

LOL Unreality...thanks.

Thanks John. I hope this thing looks huge when it's finished.

Shadow walker! That's a cool name. Thanks Nic.

[Junkie]

Thanks alot guys. This is the old MPC kit.

That shading looks pretty wild Scott. I kind of like the way it looks preshaded - sort of reminds me of certain modern game or animation styles, in a Star Wars meets Hot Wheels way...

I'd go with the medium grey, Scott.
Looking really good right now, though

 

[Timbaux]

This looks great as is! Can't wait to see it with the last shade.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks guys. Appreciate you following along. Had some time with Mrs Krome tonight.

Here's the mix I went with. About 75% Sky Grey with 25% White and a dash of Light Blue. Ended up being a pretty light grey. Kinda...well, not sure. It'll do.

Then, using the airbrush, I sprayed vertical streaks and built up the color.

Until I had this:

Here's how I left the bench tonight:

I still have lots I want to do with this. Thanks for watching.

[Deere_driver]

Great work with the airbrush! The colors look fine to me.

Looks close to ready, Scott

My compliments to Mrs. Krome!
