I love how you apply the fading and weathering effects, errr, wait, is there weather out there ? They could take your model and finally make a decent movie with it. Cheers Rob Rob, one of the oddest bits of weathering is the exhaust staining that goes on the engine deck. It radiates outwards and doesn't go in the direction of the airflow/spaceflow. But that's how they did it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Ok, I've managed to hit a couple milestones in my build. First one, assembly is now complete. The upper turret was installed. I added the last parts to the engine deck. These had to wait until I had the decals in place. Next up, all the painting is done. The last bit was using my airbrush to add some exhaust staining to the engine deck. It's not as heavy as it sometimes appears but I'm fine with the lighter look. I also added some soot marks around the damaged areas of the hull. All the major decals are completed on top. Just a lot of smaller ones to add and then the lower hull. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be done. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's currently on the included stand but I have one in clear acrylic that I'll use. It's a bit more dynamic. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Wow, Carl, what a beauty - err - -ful build and paint/decaling job. The Falcon looks hyperspace ready. Cheers Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Carl Incredible progress, looking fantastic. She might be the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy but surely is going to a one of the center pieces of your collection in the display case. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 Slowly working my way through all the decals. Here's the placement guide for the topside to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with. Many of them are tiny, like the cockpit decals that Barracudacsst does for their cockpit sets. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Carl, Wow, just amazing work! The painting is great, but the decal work is fantastic. 268? Stenciling an aircraft is nothing compared to what you are doing. Did you buy Micro Sol/Set by the pint? Looks like the decals are going down very well - any issues?

BlrwestSiR Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks everyone! It's slow work but I found that doing a quarter at a time keeps me focused and makes it less daunting. 1 hour ago, Martinnfb said: I spy lots of German technology on the surface , especially around those exhaust ports Looking mighty fine My Friend I think Corellian Engineering must have really liked German armour. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have taken it from the Javas, those scrap collectors might have visited the earth sometime. Decaling looks great. It seems even more tedious, than stenciling a Mig-31. I never thought that possible. Cheers Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Carl What can I say - the decal work is brilliant and blows away any of the stenciling decal work I've done in the past. Like Rob, it makes my F4's look like a piece of cake. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
