Sci-Fi Wednesdays - Bandai A-Wing - Ep. 8 - Final

This is it everyone, this is the last episode for this cool, little 1/72nd A-Wing. Today, we are wrapping this one up.

For the last few steps today: we airbrushed Future on the Turbo Laser tower and the stand, dry brushed and flat-coated the pilot and weathered up the A-Wing with pastels, oils, colored pencil and powders. I used earthen tone pastels to add some subtle color shifts, some Lamp Black oil paint for laser burns and my trusty AIM weathering powder for staining around the engines and guns.

Once that was all finished up, I over-coated it all with Mr Hobby Top Coat - Flat. That helped to seal everything in and reduce the shine from the Future.

The Turbo Laser tower and stand also received a coat of future, a then a wash of lamp black and some oil paints to represent laser burns.

It took eight episodes to finish this kit and I can't tell you enough, how much fun it was! I highly recommend that if you are a Star Wars fan, go out and pick up a few of these Bandai kits. They are super fun to build, very easy for modelers of all skill levels and they look excellent, when finished. 

As always, a huge thank you to everyone for watching and I hope you all enjoyed this journey! I'm not sure what is next on the Sc-Fi bench, but I'll look at the stash and we'll see what speaks to me.

Until then, take your time, build something new and have as much fun as you can!

(Just a quick side note on the video. I'm still learning about video editing and all of that, so I'm sorry for the color balance on this one. For some reason, the Red looks really Brown, but I assure you it is not Brown, it is actually Red.)
