spacewolf Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 First coats of Tamyia primer, then Vallejo RLM 66 Then rough (very rough) edging with Testors Chrome enamel Lime green was used on what I figure was some sort of screen... Then adding a few drops of white to the 66 certain panels were picked out in the lighter shade.. Free hand airbrushing with the base grey muted the heavy silver drybrushing and blended things nicely.. Final touches.. the antennae made from wire and tube (supplied in the kit). And the rubber tubing added to the bottom.. Alain Gadbois, LSP_Kevin and BiggTim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Beauty shots.. funny how the grey shade changes depending on the light source.. the base was simple white and gloss black. I was really pleased at how the kit came out... but our poor trooper is even more confused... So... this was done in a huge rush to have ready for a contest in Edmonton this past weekend... and I was quite astonished at how the droids were received... Needless to say I was happy as well as amazed. So while these kits need some work they make up into great looking models and can be winners on the contest table. Mix in a few Bandai SW figures and you could make some neat diorama's or vignettes. Thanks all for looking in and commenting !!

LSP_Kevin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I must have been posting my previous post at the same time that you were posting yours, Vaughn - I completely missed the part about winning the awards! Congrats, mate - well deserved. Kev spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The master that he made the lower half of that probot from must have been a very low quality print, it looks horrible!! I am a total newbie to 3D printing, and my printer would have done better. However, you really turned it into a fantastic build, wow!!! Good on you, sir!!
