valkyrie312 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) OK, so I didn't actually customize the Low Vis, but I did match up some Strike Parts for it! Let me know what you think. This was my first attempt at weathering anything and I did it by hand with a charcoal pencil and lots of time. It turned out OK for the 1st try, I think. Here are some Gerwalk pics (since they were requested). Fighter pics have been added towards the bottom of the page. Gerwalk Mode: Thanks for the feedback and compliments!

promethuem5 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Nice. For charcoal pencil work, they look very nice. The only thing I would do is take a darker grey paint and darken the panel lines to amtch the valk itself. Otherwise, it's a good simple match.

connor99 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Very nice work, VALKYRIE312! Did you use krylon on these FP's by any chance? Just curious . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhafabio Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 it looks great but it needs more weathering the fp look too new still like they only been on valk for a flight or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansubs2000 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 it looks great but it needs more weathering the fp look too new still like they only been on valk for a flight or 2 378794[/snapback] I agree 100%, looks damn good though for a first timer! Improve on your weathering and you'll be set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 makes a great match! if you try a light dry brushing with black paint around the edges such as the holes where the engine nacelles stick through that would look good I reckon. Just do a Google on 'dry brushing' for tips on how to do it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhafabio Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i was also thinking silver flecks here and there to indicate space debris hitting them. or trying to match the smudges of the valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritas Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 For a first time customt that looks pretty damn hot. Nice color choice on the fast packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jardann Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Lookin' good! I have to agree with everyone else, it's a good job. I really like the color of the fast packs. Mind letting us know what you used? The charcoal pencil weathering looks different and I like it too. I think a nice wash with a dark grey(almost black) would really bring out the panel lines and finish this baby off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Testors "Navy Agressor Grey" for the FP color. Now I just need to learn how to do a "wash." If anyone can give me instructions, I would very much appreciate it.

valkyrie312 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) The gunpod is not on there (cause I didn't want to scratch the paint). I didn't forget it! *Edit - Spelling* Edited March 11, 2006 by valkyrie312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) Looks good. I think it would be good if you gave it a bit of a dirtier, weathered, "star wars OT" look to it though like it has been through some fights.

kanata67 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 nice, very nice. Dirty up the insides of the f/p boosters a little though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
