Toshi Station Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 So...after having most everything sitting in a box in a corner for a year or more, I finally decided to get off my butt and get to work on this. I have to be honest, I underestimated the amount of detail and specifics that went into this. Challenge accepted. I think things are coming along nicely so far. I am going to have to get new helmet decals as the adhesive from the ones sent with my kit are not sticking. I am guessing from sitting so long in less than ideal conditions. Anyway, here's a few pictures from what I have completed so far. I know there's some rough edges. Will definitely be cleaned up before submission pictures. Excited to get this one done and hopefully going public soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Tanks are notorious for giving troubles. It's looking good just hang in there and use your fellow Kashyyyk Scouts as a sounding board. Ferra and Grumpy are top notch and they have a lot of great knowledge. Looking forward to seeing this completed and your pre-approval pics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferra Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Before applying dirt(colors) to your weathering may I suggest improving the metallic scratches? With a thin brush draw a very thin black line around the metal paint. This will create an illusion of depth and that metal was beneath a layer of black primer: In good truth I actually start with the black and THEN paint the metal leaving the small line of black(but you already have the metal on it so... ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
