Heavily weathered Slave 1

Here are some pics of AMT/Ertl’s Slave 1. After it sits on my bench for about a week I’ll find some touch up painting or changes needed, but for now I thought I would share what I have.




Thanks for looking,

Looks great and well used, thanks for the pics.

Wow, that does look great! How did you acheive the chipping effect?

Hey Maxx,
That does look great!!! [tup][tup][tup][tup] What weathering technique did you use? Also, could you explain Slave 1, I mean I don’t know that much about sci-fi
So where does it originate from? Once again. Great Job!!!
Cheers!!!

Great job, maxx. Nice weathered effect!

Thanks. I got the weathering idea from a the July 2003 issue of Fine Scale( Weathering with salt). YUP! I thought the same thing… [%-)]I wasn’t sure if it would work in as large of an area at a time but Slave 1 seemed the best test. I’m happy with the results.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback. It was kind of a leap of faith but I thought what the heck…theres always sand paper.[:D]
For example I’m on my third attempt at painting[banghead]sand…painting[censored]sand…painting Voyager. I guess I’m becoming a little less paint shy.

Like, wow, man. That’s cool.

Hey, I’ve been waiting to see one of these built up. You did it fine justice. Very well done. What’s your secret for the chipped-paint effect?

Thanks zokissima, it’s the weather with salt idea. It was in the July 2003 FSM. I found though that in working in such a large area that it got better results by dipping a wide brush into water a then letting the salt take the water off the brush. The resulting damp clump of salt stuck a little better to the surface of the model. Then you can move this clump around and spred it out along panel line or edges. I have to say I was both suprized and releaved with the results.
