It's really impresive. Could you tell what you used for paint and weathering? What paints and techniques?
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

Hi

Thanks for the nice words and comments.

Please feel free to "steal" anything you like :)

As for the painting and weathering involved, it was faily straightforward:

The base color was an simple mixture of Tamiya Acrylics: XF-25 Light Sea Grey with some XF-50 Field Blue (just a tiny little bit).
Everything applied with an airbrush, with the center of the pannels "lightened" with some XF-2 White added to the previous mixture.

The global weathering and the final hue variations and "grime and rust" on the panels and bolts were done with Winsor & Newton oils.
3 or 4 different kinds of "yellows & browns": burnt sienna, burnt umber, raw umber and Naples yellow...

To finish, a coat of Vallejo acrylic mat varnish all over the scene.

I guess this summarizes pretty much the whole thing :)


Whishes of an excellent 2014 to you all!

I think "astoundingly awesome" is something of an understatement, but I'll go with it anyway...

Seriously, astoundingly awesome job, Antonio! 8)

Antonio
I've seen this just now...
I am astonished by your work...

The WIP thread and the kit itself together are a sort of inspirational source.

Great Work !
