Benner Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) This will be my first build for the GB. Been wanting to build my Star Wars kits in my stash for a while and this will be a nice break from my usual topic since a decade ago.

lodni_k Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I never built any Finemolds kits but I hear they are pretty nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 hadn't done much work as I have been working on a 1:48 corsair, but with that out of way, it's full speed ahead with the TIE fighter. pilot figure has been painted. unfortunately, the decals started breaking up on me so I had to spray gloss on them.

Bigasshammm Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I've always wanted a Tie pilot flight suit. My favorite Imperial suited character. Very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Fondlebottom Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice job! I love these, so wonderfully lovely little kits. And I usually dislike kits this small but these are an absolute treat to build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) painted Air Superiority Blue, futured, and doing a bit of washing / dry brushing on the pod. Will put on the Neutral Gray soon. Edited October 19, 2014 by Benner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have heard about this painting method with the Air Superiority Blue and Neutral Gray but have not tried it myself so I am interested to see how it turns out. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Very nice job, Ben! Care to explain the method of painting with air superiority blue and neutral grey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Very nice job, Ben! Care to explain the method of painting with air superiority blue and neutral grey? the colour I used is Air Superiority Blue, with the smaller bits painted Neutral Grey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 ah I see... I thought you had to cover the base coat with dilluted neutral grey or something... the end result reminds me of Dr. Ghost Grey or even Medium Grey... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Awesome TIE! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
