Starchaser: Saw your early comment before my third post
I was very happy you checked it out! Wanted to complete the post before replying to the comment(s). Got a little late again so my writing wasn't good anymore…;) Thank you for your compliment! I'm happily surprised that this tank is one of your favorites, too! Yeah, there are people out there who collect and know SO much reference material (like JD) - so I feel like I know nothing about Star Wars actually - especially about the OT!
But I do collect quite a lot of references before I begin with a project. Even though it takes me longer (read:
forever) to finish it...in this case it took me extra Long because one antenna was broken. All vehicles I use for customs are used and sometimes damaged. Had to figure out a way how to replace the parts. I'm Pretty happy how it turned out.
And indeed, I'm enjoying this strange situation a lot!
JDeck: Thank you so much, JD! I'm pretty happy how it turned out, too. The long time (feels like two eternities) it took to finish Paid off. I think it does look like the version of the battle of Kashyyyk this time around.
Starchaser: Thank you so much! I compared different paints and mixed some especially to
finally achieve this blue metallic color. It's dry-brushed completely. Will add all paints I used later. I used the sunny weather to highlight the metal effects. It's just the way it is that colors look best in the daylight...
Tamer: Thank you, the feedback of all of you is the reason why I take the time to go into such detail. It's the best Thing About this hobby and a hell of a lot of fun! Jup, I think we all have empty pens populating our kitchen's drawers. It might be worth to get them out and take them apart
