I mostly work with a paint:thinner ratio of 2:1 with Tamiya acrylics. Fortunately, I collected a lot of those semi-transparent containers for 24mm films when they were still around. They're perfect to store mixed paints.

If you'd ever built one of the old MPC X-Wing kits, you'd know that the real weak spot is the mounting of the rear engines.

If you can't remaster the Original Trilogy's movies one more time (yet), there's still the original comic series to make over. http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Remastered_Marvel_Star_Wars_Adaptation_Coming_161575.asp While Howard Chaykin is one of my all time favorite comic artist, the distinctive, abstract style he had in his early days is completely ruined from issue #2 on, where Steve Leialoha takes over the inking from Chaykin. The massive plastering of text balloons isn't helpful, either. Here's an example of the remastered/re-colored issue: You find an entertaining look at the original comics here: http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/07/16/touring-marvels-star-wars-1-vader-needs-a-drink/

Looks like it. I used it on my 1/144 Falcon, and it works great giving life to those surfaces. You should thin the paint a bit more than normal, and don't worry if you wander off the selected areas. Irregularity is wanted here.

Armarauders-Toy Line with Comics
electric indigo replied to Valkyrie Hunter D's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Considering the big names that are associated with the product, the result looks rather underwhelming: I think the final execution unfortunately accentuates the weak basic design of the machine. It would look better with a heavy weathered paint scheme. -
You have the perfect setup for an interesting weathering effect: Spray the lighter color only in the center of the hull panels in an irregular fashion. This will leave the panel lines slightly accentuated, looks great on aircraft models. Optionally, if you want a cleaner look, you can choose the overspray method you described. I suggest mixing white or light gray with clear, it's easier to achieve a homogenous coverage this way.
-
I use a small block of wood that I put on the desk, then place the sprues on top in a way that the wood supports the spot where I cut the part. That is especially helpful if you cut clear parts like aircraft canopies.

I think Katoki really got the feet wrong on the Deltas. They would look much better with the Zetaplus or S-Gundam's feet.
