Hi All,
Just completed this small dio of Vader's Tie Advanced fighter and Luke's X-Wing during the trench run in Star Wars A New Hope and I'll have the usual pics up tomorrow.
The ships are 1:144 scale and have been built straight out of the box and Vader's fighter was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.
Luke's fighter has had the stickers attached to it and then I used Mirco Sol to soften and conform to the details on the wings. Once the Mirco Sol was dry I then painted the thrusters, top section and R2-D2 with Vallejo Paints and then gave it a wash of watered down matt black.
The base is a picture frame which has had the plastic cover and removed and the back board was glued in place. I then used foam board to level the front section off and also glued that in place.
The Death Star back drop was found on the net and then printed off and glued on the foam board and the writing was done using photoshop. The Fighters were given thin clear rod which were glued in place once the holes were drilled out and then they were attached to the back board.
I did the picture frame dio as you can have it sitting on your desk or shelf and if you don't have the room you can attach it to the wall.
Ron
