Haven?t posted anything in a while and have several projects up in the air. Been focusing on this guy lately. Almost there...



Painting tiny eyes still kick my ass.

Good stuff. I am hoping to score a Krennic outfit down the road to tackle Thrawn myself.

Yeah cool. Nice job !!

Can totally appreciate the difficulty with the eyes. At some point I'll need to try it on one of my customs. Not looking forward to that [emoji2]

Thanks guys. I want to redo the eyes but will let my strained eyes rest for a bit

Have you got one of those headset magnifiers ? I can't do anything without it these days.

That?s funny. I?ve been shopping around for a set the past couple days and narrowed it down to one I just ordered this morning. I have been putting it off for way too long - with my youthful vision.
Man, it wasn?t until just a few years ago I could work up close and see every detail when illustrating or painting. I remember making fun of my pops when he had his on working when on projects and now... Here I Am!

Been working on my RustyJ Gonk 2.0 and came to a stopping point. Trying to match the ref shots but it?s kind of difficult. Tamiya Weather Masters was the last thing i did to mute the rusty gun metal color. I think I may hit it with the airbrush and dust it with a lighter sand color to dull it down a bit more... OR I may just call it done.
Any thoughts or input would be welcome.
Thanks

I think it looks great as is! That screen pic looks like it might have some more pronounced oil type splotches but it's difficult to say for sure.

Call it done - looks really good!!

Re: D.R.37's Cargo Hold: 1/6 Star Wars Customs

Ok cool I think I?ll stop here then. Go for some of those oil splotches next... Thanks guys

Looking awesome DR, I'd leave it there. There really isn't enough quality ref pics to really nail down the color/texture. As I mentioned a few months ago, the finish looks a bit like a rusted backhoe's digger bucket - sort of dark steel with pitting and rust and that's kinda what you have.

Even the Hoth gonk is tricky as there are no closer pics of it.

I agree with the group buddy!! It's a work of art already!

Re: D.R.37's Cargo Hold: 1/6 Star Wars Customs

Gotcha and thanks, Tali.
Thanks Kash
Got home and finished up... added more oil, some rust and a few drips - some silver scratches and dings as well. I appreciate the feedback otherwise I might have gone too far in trying to lighten him up

He does appear pretty dark in the crawler and I noticed some cool texturing on his lower right side panels when rewatching that scene. I decided I?m done and left that out but something that others could easily do.

Getting late and ill take better photos to add to the Gonk thread later.
I?m tempted to add a water ring on top like somebody left their drink on him... an ongoing joke/nitpick I have with my wife and coasters. May do that another time hehe.

Dude!!! That is a flippin beauty.

Re: D.R.37's Cargo Hold: 1/6 Star Wars Customs

Looks like I'm late to the party. But yes, looks awesome.

The only thing I'd add is if you wanted a little bit of realism, you could sand a bit of paint off a corner or two where's highest wear would happen. However this only works if the colour underneath fits though.

Alternatively, I often use a piece of torn off sponge with a bit of metallic silver on it (wiped off so there is almost none left) gives a realistic paint chip effect on a corner or exposed edge.

Depends if you want to strictly keep it to what can be seen on screen or not of course.

Re: D.R.37's Cargo Hold: 1/6 Star Wars Customs

Fantastic finish and weathering, DR. I would consider it done. It's perfect.
