jpc1968 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Started a new model while my Jag paint job cures. I thought this model was going to be cheesy but the more I work on it the more I like it. I added a wire to the forward spot light. First time at trying to glue and sand seam lines. So here's a before and after.
jpc1968 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Done some putty work tonight. I noticed when looking at pictures for reference that the nose was smooth but the model had a channel down the center. I filled it in. More sanding to come.
jpc1968 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Checked your photo bucket chunky, very nice work
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks! I appreciate it! Love to see how this turns out, because I might pick this kit up at some point.
jpc1968 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 This thing is a beast to paint. Never painted anything this big before and it wore me out.
jpc1968 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 I don't think I have ever masked this much in my life. Gee wiz. Added second color but that just means more masking. Not as much but some. Then I can start weathering.
jpc1968 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 I just notice the above pictures are in reverse order. And yet more masking.
jpc1968 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Finally removed tape. As you can see it took the base coat with it in some spots, so I'll have some touching up to do before I start chipping and weathering
Roadrunner Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I like it. I can sympathize regarding the masking, I'll have a ton of it to do on my 1:350 Enterprise.
jpc1968 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Finished chipping. Next is a dull coat and then weathering.
jpc1968 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Just a few touch ups and paint the base and this one will be finished. The next pics of this will be in "under glass"
Ridge Rider Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That is looking pretty sweet. I can relate to the cheesy thing as that is was I was thinking of the pod racer until I built one. Thanks for sharing.
Chillyb1 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 That looks like a really fun kit to weather. I may have to try my hand at this on one of these Star Wars models.
