If you are talking about the kit itself it stands about 6 1/2 inches tall and roughly 7 1/2 inches long from gun tip to the rear panels.

Matt…Matt…Matt, yes it does appear I like pain. The other two unpainted AT-ST are a good indication of where this project is destined but heart wants what the heart wants.

@ Ryan (Tank_1812). Personally, I like the Imperial Grey (weathered like the box art). I’m rather boring… don’t hate me.

Didn’t you just finish up a not boring Haunebu?

[Brantwoodboy]

Does anybody have an opinion on what spray paint would make a good imperial grey?

[Tank_1812]

For the Tie Fighter I was planning on using XF-75 or TS-66 for my grey. You can use black primer to make it darker or a wash should darken it up.

[Brantwoodboy]

I’ll keep that in mind but I haven’t got around to picking up an airbrush so i cheat and use spray paint.

[Tank_1812]

I still use rattle can from time to time. AS-7 or TS-32 is other colors I found mentioned.

@ Michael (Brantwoodboy)

I had to spray a large saucer (14" diameter), so I used rattle-can outdoors.

Kinda happy with how it came out…

And if you’re looking for something maybe a bit darker, I could also recommend…

@ Ryan (Tank_1812). This was my fear of camo “boring” phase which took me several months to overcome.

[Brantwoodboy]

Thank you to all of the responses I have the Bad Batch ship and want to do it some justice.

Dave, Great build and a beautiful squadron. Looks very cool!

Ryan, both camouflages are super nice, but the splinter camouflage is even weirder than the other. I say go for splinter

Slight mishap with the Eagle transporter involving the tube frames between the landing pods but nothing that can’t be fixed. One of those ‘I swear I checked everything 3 times, numbered each part, made diagrams and still put it on backwards’ moments.

I’m just mad because I was almost done with the painting and was hoping to have decals on before the weekend so I could finish up. However, it won’t be too hard to touch up anything I nick while correcting the error.

Haven’t broken or lost anything yet, so that’s good.

[Tank_1812]

More work continues……

The legs are mostly done there an about 4~6 pieces left for each to add.

[Johnnych01]

Have you decided on a colour scheme yet dude ? Would painting them before attaching be easier ?

[Tank_1812]

I am still leaning towards the first one but if painting becomes too much I will go with option two.

Yes, painting before hand will be easier. I have even started deconstruction on the body to help.

The inside walls do have some detail.

[Johnnych01]

Sounds like a plan

[Tank_1812]

I am thinking painting overall Cream, mask then Sand then Brown Grey. I think there will be spots of Imperial Grey for replacement parts just haven’t figured out where/which pieces and it’s back story yet. Might save that for when masking goes horrible.

Well that’s the plan, we will see how it survives first contact and the paint barn.

[Killnoizer]

I did a first mockup of a science fiction project which i think could fit here …

Edit:

Based ob the pretty good TAMYA kit with the Radio Antenna on top .
I need some wheels for another project , and so the 8 wheeler was good catch .
I don’t know which scale that will become ,
it could be a big spaceship in 1:72 ,
a middle class Destroyer in 1:48
and a sporty pod racer in 1:35 .

I love building jet engines like that

[Johnnych01]

Good idea about some grey replacement parts or a panel etc…

And another trip down the rabbit hole for Gerrit … nice start and looks interesting

[MoramarthT]

Straight out of the Kow Yokoyama “Ma.K.” playbook - it can’t really go wrong…

Cheers,
