[punkpigpen]

thanks quaralane...i ve seen alot of your youtube videos. keep it up!

 

[punkpigpen]

cheers panzer! oh god...the paint...this is harder than my x-wing. its got soooo many nooks and crannies and greeblies. the studio models were very chipped and weathered. tons of work. its that pre-paint anxiety i suppose. any of you get that?

Oh yeah I got that with my falcon, just wanted to leave it primered and stick it on the shelf! :

 

[punkpigpen]

Oh poop. The airbrush needles i ordered which i thought would arrive today didn't come hopefully tomorrow. as the Y project fully on hold till that.

i know the greeblies!!!! OK canopy is officially done pictured with my favorite clear recipe Testors Dullcote and Laquer thinner 50%/50%. I used Vallejo Air Blue RLM65 and washed it it dirty brownish blak pigments and a little brown black mixture of pastel streaking.

Man what an update! Looks so good, how do you get your colours so close??? Great work John.

 

[punkpigpen]

thanks John!
i have alot of reference material i printed out to match the colors. and i also keep a nice stock of colors around and mix some if i need to. the pic i posted is less accurate color wise. the blue is warmer. and only some of the streaking picked up on camera becuae it was soo subtle. tomorrow i may attempt to do the top and bottom yellowish/ochre markings on the front. its gonna be a challenge to match the shapes on all sides.

Nice work on that canopy!
