blunce Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Bravo! Bravo! Another amazing job Janne. Though I just checked in today, so to me, it's like you started and finished it all in a few hours. Or wait, maybe you did?! Seems like it anyway. My only suggestion, more pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanx Brian :D I´m on 6 months of parental leave...and that gives me some quality time, not only with my daughter but I get to sneak into my hobby room daily to pick with this or the other :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cook7997 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Janne, you build really fast. Didn't you just finish the F-106? Both beautiful builds by the way. Love the weathering and used look on this one. Great job! Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanx Cameron and Jörgen :D I felt I had to compensate for the overly clean Six by doing this rather unclean x-wing :D I don´t think this build took more than 10 hours in efective build time... so it was an easy kit to throw together.

71roadrunner426 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 In my Red 5 version I used a beautiful resin cockpit I ordered off Starship Modeler it does put the kit one to shame and was a " drop in fit". I will be building a third X-wing this time it will be on the ground with wings closed. I will be using Aigores chipping method. Aigore your X-Wing turned out fantastic, love the weathering job you did on it. What oil paints did you use for the wash and what did you thin them with? and what did you use to remove the wash. Thanks, Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Rob. Thanx Rob :D I used artist oils thinned with odorless turpentine, for the first thin wash I used a mix of black and rw umber, then I made streaks by dotting black and burnt sienna and then just pull them out with a cotton swab. I removed the wash by rubbing with a cloth made from an old T-shirt and cotton swabs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
