After a wash of 502 Abteilung Starship Filth had dried, I moved on
to discoloring individual panels. To accomplish that, I used 502 Abteilung Faded Grey, Faded Navy Blue, and Faded UN White to pick out random
panels along the craft. Since t
his is
Lord Vader's personal starfighter, I figured it has seen a lot of action
in his hunting of the Jedi and subsequent offensives against the
Rebellion, so it isn't unreasonable to think that the craft has been
damaged and required repair. The canopy had been given a bath in Future
and is now dry, the next step is to mask the windows and paint the
frame. After that is complete, the entire model will get a coat of matte
varnish and I can then mask and paint the panels in the wings. I sanded
the "Star Wars" logo off of the base to accommodate a larger Imperial
cog than I did on the TIE/Ln base. The added benefit is that the cog
will be centered on the base which should give everything a much cleaner
presentation.
