Rogue One Blue Leader X-Wing WIP

[RubiconLJ]

Bandai 1:72 X-Wing being done as General Antoc Merrick in Rogue One.  Sub assemblies are ready for penciled in panel lines and then Tamiya Panel Line Accent washes in both black and brown.  As usual the sub assemblies were based in Mr Surfacer 1500 Gray followed by SMS Classic White.  SMS Haze Gray was used for several of the panels and the other panels were mixes of SMS colors to get the shades I was looking for.  The blue fuselage stripes and wing markings are Gravity Ford Grabber Blue straight from the bottle.

Thanks Simon.  The next two X-Wings after this one will be even more different, a T-65 and a T-70 inspired by Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art.

Going to call this one done and post the rest of the pictures in Under Glass.  It is a General's ride so a little cleaner than all the others.  LOL
