And how do you avoid/solve these?



Well, in this case I always use a spray primer as a base (it is usually white or gray), then I paint the section and apply some matte varnish to avoid this paint loss caused by friction.

BTW, congrats for the new project!

I've had good luck with lightly dremelling smooth the high areas as well as painting it, then applying some super glue very carefully as a coating over the part that wears. Acts like a barrier. However, be careful that you don't glue the joint. Use an old retired paint brush and just get the middle in sections.


Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

Maybe the egg ship can be modified into a Techno Union Ship like in Battlefront Geonosis area....smaller scale of course.

The cockpit looks awesome! For the paint rub You could try a spray of Dull Cote first. If that doesn't help I would lightly dremel, sand, paint then spray with dull cote.

I concur with Spry. I have had some luck with applying a matt varnish prior to paint. The pre sanding can only help.

That cockpit looks fantastic!

I wouldn't say I'm an expert on these sorts of projects, but I find masking tape a good way to get straight edges, as for how the surface takes the paint, I generally give it a light sanding to give a surface that the paint will stick to easier. I really like this thread as you have so many projects on the go at once! They all look great too! Well done! :)

After the numerous attempts on Senator Amidala's life called for a more military presence on Naboo thus the N-2 "Dagger" was born stronger shields, and more maneuverability due to the dagger shaped chassis, and lighter for maximum speed, as well as having more fire power.

Dude! That is awesome! The design is perfect for a Naboo craft. It must be from the GI Joe line.
