TheToad 321 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Here's some of my work I've been doing this past week. Next on the docket is the AFmkII. Let me know what you guys think. P.S. please don't mind my ugly curtains and sorry the pics aren't the greatest (dammit Jim I'm a modeler not a photographer ?)

mcworrell 814 Posted March 3, 2017 How did you do the scarring? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheToad 321 Posted March 3, 2017 I heated the end of a model file and pressed it into the ship to make the crater and then pulled it away to make the trench. I used Vallejo oily steel to give the metallic look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MajSharpe 119 Posted March 3, 2017 Our cruisers can just about repel firepower of that magnitude! Looks good, that's XI7s for you 1 TheToad reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheToad 321 Posted March 7, 2017 Got done modding and painting the AFmk2. I think I'll call her Providence. Let me know what you guys think. I'd like to thank @FourDogsInaHorseSuit for his post on disassembling these bad boys. 10 Stasy, Blail Blerg, cynanbloodbane and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You inspired me, sir (that and this beast escaped Ackbar with 1 hullpoint remaining!) Painting done first - my usual ISD white, followed by successive layers of grey (mostly dark/blue greys), followed by black ink for the main scar, followed by the tip of a triangular file held over a candle. Candle important because it'll never get hot enough to anneal (soften) the steel, triangle important because you get a choice of shape/depth of melt. You can spin it to create a widening on narrowing scar. And of course all the scars are front-to-back, because Star Destroyers never run ;-) 4 Stasy, SFC Snuffy, TheToad and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
