The "Jilted Harlot"

[SLW45]

Looks great Q

[Quaralane]

Thanks, guys.

Today's update starts with paint on the crew figures.
To make handling them easier, I glued them to the top of a small paint jar.
Pants and main suits were done in flat black.
Shirts on two were done in Vallejo blue.
The girl not in the blue shirt was given "fur" in Ral Partha leather, while the other two had their skin left the base color of the plastic.
The man, and one girl were given hair in Vallejo smoke. The other girl was given red hair.



Figures in place in the cockpit.
Pilot: Trelana Morningside (left seat)
Copilot: Jyn (right seat)
Gunner/Engineer: Cassus (rear seat)



Cockpit inserted into the arm, and the arm installed onto the main hull.
Light test for the cockpit as well


Primer coat in place using Krylon grey primer. This will serve as the base color for the ship.
Cockpit was covered by clay to mask it off.

Nice work painting those small, little figures......

 

[Quaralane]

Thanks, guys.
Now, I get to do the easy part. Painting the ship itself

Looking Good Q!!! Excellent Work On Those Microscopic Figs!!!

 

[Junkie]

Yeah, they sure are tiny!

Nice work Q! The cockpit looks great with those decals and N scale figures. Body of the ship looks good too with the primer down. I had to chuckle at your video. You look so collected and calm while introducing the unpainted figures glued to the bottle top. Cut to after painting and you're looking a little desheveled. Great video Q!

 

[Quaralane]

Thanks, guys.
Glad you're enjoying the build

Small update this time.

Started adding colored panels to the Harlot.
Used an acrylic red to help set her apart from the Falcon.
I'll likely be going in later and adding some lighter grey panels as well



Painted the tips of the guns, the dish, and the additional thrusters with a dark metallic.
The bases for the guns and dish will remain the original color of the plastic

[Grendels]

That is looking nice! Good job with the panels!

 

[Solander]

Yeah, the panels look great.
And I'm really diggin' those new engine deck look.
Very well done, Q

 

[Quaralane]

Thanks, guys.
I'm having fun with this one

 

[Quaralane]

Finished up the panel detailing by adding some light grey panels to the upper and lower hulls



Black wash to pick out details in the grills, gun wells, and some other sections of the ship.



Custom mixed a "rust" wash for pretty much the whole ship, except for the gunwells.


Same wash, along with black wash, on the guns and dish.
