Thank you Sall!!!
Orange (Games Colors) is sprayed now...

Next step: some panels will be lightened with the orange from Citadel Colors; other ones will be darkened with chocolate brown.

Thanks!

Yasterday I've begun the masking phase. No work today, I will continue tomorrow... If I don't come back too late from a formation stage at Brussels...

[draken35]

The masking phase was a long, time consuming one... Because I wished to do some colors effects, using the Citadel Color orange (lighter than the Game Colors one); darkened the Game Color orange on some other panels and finishing with a marron brown.

You can see the result. I'm a little bit disappointed because the difference between Citadel Colors and Game Colors oranges is visible only when your eyes are at 10 cm of the model (see photo nr16)... But I like very much the "gun panels" made with two drops of marron brown in the orange.

Now I will have to paint the pilots before to continue on the aircar...

Never use this paints so have no idea about, kit look uniform painted and nice

[Sall]

Great!

[draken35]

Thank you mates!

Today I've made some correction in the paint and added black color. I've also painted the pilots... One of them has a moustache, as precised in the instruction sheet because in the film "the left pilot owns a moustache"!!!

After gloss varnish and oil wash...

[Sall]

I like your work! Very,very nice. Wash is great.

Thank you mates!
This morning, some weathering and the pilots...

[draken35]

So, today it was:

A light weathering. I preferred to use a mix of "rust" and "Gun Metal" better to just alu: as the cloud city is on a gas planet, oxydation is probably more faster... 

Then, Pébéo matt varnish.

Gun painting (gun metal) and smoke of the gunfire (Tamiya pastel)

And final assembly.

So, it's finished...
