You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!
When I started repainting my X-Wing models, it was all in preparation for this : the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy! The level of details on the YT-1300 is nothing short of amazing for such a small model (on the top side anyway) and it was big enough for an engine light mod.
The repaint took me about 2 weeks from stripping to converting to the last varnish. I used all the techniques developped on Luke X-Wing and then some, with most of the weathering done with oils.
The engine light is made with the classic leds+ hot glue diffuser, with a switch hidden on the belly of the ship. I should post a couple of tutorials soon, for the engine lights and for the oil weathering, I also changed the magnet joint for the Falcon as the weight of the model and the size made a ball joint unusable.
I'm really happy about how the ship turned out, hope you like it!

Looks fantastic :). The paint job is excellent with some great weathering work. I also think the shading on the cockpit glass is wonderful (I actually initially thought that this had also been lit as it 'popped' so well!). Great job :)
ReplyDeleteWaouh ! Superbe ce Faucon !
ReplyDeleteImpressionné par la LED, ça rend vraiment bien.
Le seul hic à mes yeux c'est qu'il manque un peu de battle damage, ou même d'usure.
C'est quand même le Millenium quoi ! :D
En tout cas beau boulot,
A+
