Tie Fighter – part 3
As I intend to have it sitting on the stand, I glued the lid in place.
The solar panels got a pin wash.
Everything put in place.
After a clear cote, the decals went on. I tried to use the decals for the window and top lid, but messed them up as they wouldn’t conform properly.
After removing the masking tape from the window and doing some additional wash and painting, I considered it done.
Pics for the final reveal will be posted soon.
Tie Fighter – part 2
The pilot and windows got some paint.
The solar panels was assembled.
The base got a pin wash and then I did some dry brushing with a slightly brighter colour than the base colour.
The pilot and cockpit got some decals.
Then the cockpit was closed and placed in the rear fuselage.
After some additional painting and pin wash, I could close the fuselage and start glueing small parts.
I’ll use the optional windows as cover when I paint the fuselage.
Here are all the parts that will be assembled later.
For some reason the bottom of the fuselage broke a bit while putting the bottom cover in place.
I’ll sort that as good as possible, and I guess the cover just have to be glued in place.
Other than that it’s mostly painting and decals left before assembly and finishing touches.
Tie Fighter – Star Wars – Bandai 1/72
As I’m participating in a sci-fi group build where I recently have finished the Ork Dakkajet, I decided to try to finish one more kit before the end of the group build.
So in order to make it somewhat easy I decided to build a Bandai Tie Fighter,
Starting with the cockpit and mid section.
The instructions for what colours to use a pretty brief. I asked around a bit and got some advice.
The solar panels was painted flat black.
Hard to tell perhaps, but the black plastic is a bit more shiny.
I painted the interior in neutral grey and then mixed a lighter colour for the exterior parts.
That colour was also used on the panels inside the cockpit.
There are some details to paint in the cockpit and on the pilot. Then I can start assemble it.
Marder II – the end, for now!
Buying 2nd hand kits can be a bit of a gamble. Hopefully everything is there.
As it turned out, the poly caps was missing, and I forgot to check before starting the build. I simply didn’t think of it.
This is how far I’ve got before shutting down the build for now.
If I can find 14 poly caps (short ones according to the instructions), I might get this build started again and perhaps even finished.
Orks Dakkajet – final reveal
Here’s some pics of the finished build!
I’m quite happy with how it turned out and the orks are happy for the added air support.
Ork Dakkajet – part 3
I added lightnings in black to the wings.
The windshield was painted and glued in place.
And the loadout was finished and glued in place.
I then started with the base.
After some additional painting of rivets and adding highlights here and there, I considered the plane done!
Next I’ll post final reveal pics!
Marder II – Tamiya 1/35
I started this build for a weekend speed build on Flory’s forum.
I thought a Tamiya kit should be easy enough to finish within the time frame from thursday to sunday, Perhaps it should have if I had prepared better. It turned out there was more to sort like ejection marks, and I also spent more time with the family than I had anticipated.
Anyway the build was started by building the main gun.
While some parts was left to dry properly, I started with the lower hull.
Things are coming together and getting ready to paint.
Just a little bit more to do before I can start painting.
Ork Dakkajet – part 2
Building up the yellow with brighter yellow colours.
The pilot got some paint.
Working a bit with the loadout and giving the rockets and bombs some colour.
Gradually adding even brighter yellow.
Unmasked with the pilot dry fitted.
I painted some details in metal and put the plane on the stand.
A little progress with the rockets and other small parts.
More details painted and some dry fitting.
The pilot got seated! 🙂
Next will be additional painting and touching up and adding the missing parts.
Orks Dakkajet – Warhammer 40k
I started this build a while ago and haven’t been able to make any post about it.
It all started with preparing and assembling parts.
I painted a spiral pattern on the nose cone.
The interior parts got some interior green.
With the nose cone painted, I could assemble the fuselage.
The wings went on and some parts was dry fitted.
There was three different hatches for the wing. I choose the one which gave the plane one extra gun on each side.
Then some parts got some metal paint.
The parts for the pilot was primed.
The nose and metal painted parts was masked.
Grey zenithal primer on the pilot.
Then finally some paint on the plane.
Next more paint!
