Some extra weathering makes all the difference. Now it looks screen-accurate from my memory.

Thanks Darth. it's changed since these pics and think i'm going to paint the whole body apart from the chromed nose section with aluminium then re-weather the body with a wash instead of paint. will be keeping the rusty parts as they are though, the plasic look of the body is bugging me. here's what it looks like at the moment, just painted the engines and frame around them

Post by: Darth More on October 19, 2023, 12:49:31 AM: Re-doing a project sounds pretty challenging to me. But the result looks good! The plastic look bugs me, too, which is why I haven't bought the N1, yet.
You really managed to make it look like metal now! The wash made it extra dull, it looks like Titanium to me. Awesome project!

Title: Re: Mando vintage collection N1 Starfighter custom paint
Post by: Starchaser on October 22, 2023, 01:30:25 PM: I don't think they are supposed to be missiles, I think they are supposed to be part of Peli's modifications to enhance the speed of the ship.

Perhaps so kinda like NOS on a vehicle. I really think there should be a cross section book for these TV series...

They do look like some kind of tanks. maybe to improve the sub lights or jump range maybe?
