LA2019 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I bought this kit for my nephew's birthday and he asked me to build it with him (he's six). The kit builds up nice but it looked very boring as is. I told my nephew I would take it home and weather it up for him. There is a nice amount of detail on the kit and the weathering really makes it pop. I left the paint job as is out of the box. I didn't want to take the time to re-paint and I don't think the nephew really cares. He's happy and that's all that really matters.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crowe-t Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The weathering looks great! Does it come with the wooden base? It looks like wood in the pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Does it come with the wooden base? Nope. It does have optional landing gear parts, tho'. Nice X-Wing! Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The weathering really does make that kit pop. Was it pre-painted out of the box, or did you do the paint scheme as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Cartwright Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Nice weathering job! I did the same thing with my kit, and have another one sitting around. I'm thinking of taking before and after photos to show what the weathering does for it. Although my weathering skills are not as good as yours. dmk0210, it does come pre-painted.
