WIP : Bandai 1/72 X-wing starfighter Pt. 2 – Painting and Finishing

The following is a general step-by-step on how I finish my model kits. First up is a primer base oF black. I prefer black now over other colors because if I miss some areas later with the main colors, it’s pretty much instant shadowing. The final tones definitely don’t look the same compared to painting …...

WIP : Bandai 1/72 X-wing starfighter Pt. 1 – Construction

In the middle of getting bogged down with the fitting issues of my F-5, I decided to get this already snapfitted kit done. As usual, it was a joy to snapfit and 99% of it doesn’t require cement. Out of the box, this builds into Luke Skywalker’s Red 5 from the Battle of Yavin, and …...

WIP : Wave 1/20 Rally Pawn Pt. 3

This is the first time I’m painting a large-scaled head. The results aren’t great (the irises aren’t the same size) but I think it’s quite OK for a first effort. Plus it will be hidden under a helmet and behind a visor. Everything was done by handpainting and filtered with washes. Next up decals. I …...

WIP : Wave 1/20 Rally Pawn Pt. 2

Painting begins with an overall base of black primer. White primer is next for highlights. This gives it a look of being hit by the Sun overhead. Then a few light coats of the main color with Vallejo Game Color Stonewall Grey. I then added some freehand camo with Vallejo Game Air Sombre Grey. Last …...

WIP : Bandai Stormtrooper Pt. 4

Mild weathering done with a mixture of Blue Black + Burnt Umber oil paint mix. Mid-way through this I remembered that Bandai plastic has a tendency to crack from turpentine. Hopefully this one holds like my Snowspeeder. It’s also at this point that I think the paint chips look too random. Oh well, chalk it …...
