Hey All. This is my first post here. I've been a lifelong Star Wars fan but am only recently getting into model-making and custom painting. I've attached images of a few of my first projects.
Hopefully I've used the right code and my photos reproduce!
The AT-ST was my first custom paint that I did a few months back. It's a vintage Kenner number. I messed around with the yellow colour scheme which I thought was fairly successful… I later found the top gun after I took these photos. I guess looking at it now some brown rust runs would help lift it some?
The Falcon is one of those Revell Easy-Kits. I LOVED painting this. I really wanted to make it look dirty and old - more so than in the films… I gave it my own colour scheme as an experiment in custom spray-painting using masking fluid. I know it's not screen accurate but I love it nonetheless. Managed to get my hands on a 2.5ft Legacy Falcon(!) off eBay recently so I'm excited to work on that..! Might take a lifetime compared to the Revell version though!
Finally the Jedi Starfighter. I don't know about you all but I thought personally
maybe the endless colour schemes available on these toys/models is a bit(!) much and I wondered if I could create something a bit more faithful to the original trilogy in that respect. I think I prefer it stripped back and grey though I think a small amount of colour in a y-wing/x-wing style might work… Nothing too overpowering. So maybe a bit of a WIP this one...!
Would love to know what you all think. There are some amazing customisers on here! So feedback welcome. I'm plotting out a few custom mods to old toys I have as well as paint jobs - I got a couple of other things on the go and I'll continue to upload here as I progress.
Thanks for looking!
Alex
