As promised, there were only a few last steps for this project. The kit has been broken down into major subsections. Some subsections bigger than others. And I start off with applying some paint chipping using an enamel based metallic grey. A very small brush is used and I just slowly and carefully apply some chips here and there. I don’t want to go overboard, I just want to see that the suit has seen “some” use. <\/p>\n

The rest of the final weathering steps as well as the final pictures for the kit after the jump.
\n<\/p>\n

The arms are paint chipped and I have one that wasn’t touch as a comparison to one that I started weathering. It is a very slight touch of chipping. Next up I clear glossed the parts and started in on the filter.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

The filter is composed of 3 main paints, zinc (yellow), white, and dark earth. A 4th color of rust is added but only in small select areas. Once the parts are dotted up, I take a stiff brush and lighter fluid and proceed to wipe away the dots creating a blended faded effect that changes the tons of the parts.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Light fluid works very well. I had some problems removing the white so I dipped my brush into some testor enamel thinner and that stuff was WAY too strong and started removing a little too many layers. I think I salvaged it a bit, but the right side of the rear skirt took the brunt of that mistake. Below is a quick picture of where I stopped with the filter on these parts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A few updates ago when I glued the smaller missile pods into position, I failed in test fitting and test functioning the opening mechanics of those pods. Had I did it correctly, I wouldn’t have had the problem I had now. Those doors did not open, or if they did, they barely opened. The back of the pods did not have enough room. I left this as is and just figured I’d only open the bigger missile pods. While doing the weathering, the fact that I spend considerable time designing and working on the smaller pod doors, it just ate at me because it seemed a complete waste if I didn’t go and just fix it. Last night, I couldn’t sleep so I got out of bed and started chiseling away the excess plastic making room for the pod doors to open. Here is a comparison with one of the doors before and after.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

The BMC 2mm chisel is used to scrape away plastic slowly and in a fairly straight edge. Once that was done, the other side was fixed and then lightly sanded.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Both doors work so I added some details to the missile pods and painted the repaired area as well as the missile pod details. <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Today, after a clear flat sprayed last night over the dried filtered pieces, I applied the tamiya makeup kits and did some pigment weathering for the kit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Once done with that, the work desk was transformed into a photo table and the kit was put together and final pictures were taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
