Hi All

Thanks one more question about the tanks how are the top hoses attached? Drill holes in the tanks?

The hoses are hollow so I drilled into the tanks and inserted plastic rod and glued them in place and once dry I slid the hoses over the rod.

Hi All,

I was at the shops the other day and spotted a DS wall light and knew that it would be a great fun little project. I removed the back and puttied the light holes as they were to big and once dry I sanded the exterior before I started on the second layer of putty.

I drilled new smaller light holes and once done I noticed that the surface was very plain so instead of putting up the old holes that need it I decided to add plastic styrene pieces to the surface to give it some texture.

I still need to add a lot more plastic styrene pieces and then re-spray the DS and then weather it and then start on the Star Destroyers.

That's cool! It already looks much better than the AMT Death Star. The prices on that kit are astronomical. Can't wait to see the final product.

Hi All,

Well all the surface pieces have been added an OMG I will never be doing that again LOL, it took me 4 hours to cut and attach them. I have attached the rods to hold the Star Destroyers and know to paint them and the DS.

Hi All,

Last update for the night.

I started painting the DS it was painted Tamiya Medium Grey Spray and then I started on the light grey sections first, I have given this area two light coats of Vallejo Sky Grey. I put aside the DS to let the paint dry until tomorrow and then redo this area again which will have one more heavier coat.

The Star Destroyers have been painted using Tamiya Medium Grey Spray when I did the DS. I then painted them using Vallejo Medium Grey and then a drybrush of Vallejo Sky Grey, I then gave them a wash of watered down matt black.

Once the wash was done I drybrushed them Sky Grey and then Light Grey, I then lightly went around the raised areas with a very heavy watered down matt black and the gave it one last  drybrush using a mix of 70/40 - Light Grey/White.
