Pre contest quickie: AT-AT

[Junkie]

Gotta get the rust out and this old shelf queen should do the trick. I spent a couple hours at the bench today, fixed few broken parts and it's ready for primer tomorrow or later tonight. The plan is a quick paint job simply to get me back in the swing of things and prep my gear for the contest build.

Right-on. Back at the bench.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks for dropping in guys. Good to have a project on the go again.

I love the AT-AT did you have it lighted at one point.

 

[Junkie]

This one has a single red LED, yup.

I love them too. Just watched the first 30- minutes of TESB. Such great sci-fi.

 

[Quaralane]

Kind of reminds me why I did a couple of my more recent builds.

With paint, this should look pretty good

 

[JohnSimmons]

This will look awesome when done dude, if you need any ref I have TONS

 

[Junkie]

Thanks Q - yes exactly. A quick build to get the 'groove' back. Paint should help for sure.

Thanks John - all your fault. Reference, I'll let you know. I have some as well, have to dig it out.

[Junkie]

Thanks for the comments guys.


Despite really wanting to crack into a new and shiny contest build I'll first follow through on this one ...to completion.


Primer down this morning - now off to do some chores.

That badger primer looks nice man.

 

[Junkie]

It is nice. I did choose to slightly thin it with Tamiya thinner - it works out of bottle but I prefer just a hair thinner. Some tough man, real tough primer.

Here's some preshading. XF1 then XF2.

 

[nicholassagan]

NICE.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah NOICE 8)

 

[Unreality]

Loving it!! Can't wait to see the finish.

What is the Badger primer like? Acrylic?

 

[Junkie]

Thanks. Yes acrylic and tough as nails. Video about it in the can, live in a few days.
