I swear, all I did was open the box and have a look,

The usual top quality BanDai kit. Super crisp mouldings, snap-fix and in the one colour grey.

Next thing, the head has miraculously built itself (while I watch a film)

So now, I've primed it all, and have decided a medium grey overcoat and over weathered to look used, has to be used.

We all know Star Wars vehicles were the ultimate kitbash builds. But it is fun what you can identify parts.

So far I've found a Pegasus engine from a Harrier, and a tank hull.

Nice one jase, if it builds like the ATST it'll be a peach, a word of warning Don't let spirit based thinners near the weathering the Bandai plastic goes very brittle

A few layers of greys to build up the tones (hope they work) phone/flash has drowned the tones a bit.

(Think) it was Vallejo US Grey, then, Dark Ghost Grey, with an attempt at marbling with USAF Light grey.

This evening ws patches of Tamiya xf54 Dark Sea Grey.

Needs lightening a bit more, so i think I'll mix in some white, then thin it and ghost layers on, slowly building up the lighter tones.

 

Onwards Buttercup!

Thanks Mish

 

May try a bit more tonight. Have this, another sci fi build and 2 left field aircraft builds to do for club night.

Wish me luck!

Time to bring upto date, over the summer I tried tonage the body a fair bit, like it was on an Outer Rim planet and forgotten.

Today, I dragged this out of the "I must finish it" pile, I dry fitted part of the drive units, only to see they're not matching agedness. Looks like some work to do still.
