Wings! Very cool!
Good luck with the black basing.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Watched a couple YouTube videos and might go with the pre-shading method instead. I don’t know yet.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
After fighting with the PE for the left side on my '55 Chevy, I decided to tackle the pilot. I used Russian Marker Red instead of Orange. I didn't want to go with basic orange because it looks like bright orange. Russian Marker Red has a bit of orange tint than red. The photo looks red but believe me it looks perfect as a weathered orange.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Tom, if you’re using the Model Master version of Russian Marker Red, yes it has a distinctly orange tint to it. Maybe drybrush on some orange onto to fold highlights of the flight suit to get more of an effect.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Great minds think alike. I was thinking a drybrush of orange over the highlights would really make this guy's uniform pop.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
I may do that as well. Maybe add a little black to tone the brightness of the gloss orange.

Re: Bandai X-Wing
Not much of progress but boots and gloves are painted. Did I mention how much I hate painting figures?

Re: Bandai X-Wing
You are making progress! The size of that rascal is another reason I do not like to do figures. Looks really good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
