Looking good Avant1963, love the weathering in the cockpit, especially the pilot chairs.

BTW, that cylon looks fantastic!

First hallway wall complete. After a couple of repaints I think I have the right amount of weathering that I wanted. I used the Deck Tan and then used Tamiya XF-49 Khaki as the weathering color. Now on to the other walls.



Thanks all for the compliments on the Falcon work and the Cylon.

First tunnel complete. Followed Davetwin's color scheme - flat black with deck tan. I painted the floor panzer grey and gave it a little black wash and then used the Tamiya weathering silver (the ones with the eyeshadow applicators) to give the floor a little sheen/wear (can't really see in this picture). I should have the whole hallway system done this weekend.

You can see the center "wear" on the floor better in this pic (once again thanks to Dave for the idea to add this detail).



And some more of the hallways completed

I can't believe that the hallways are done! Very happy with the results.




Now on to the main hold. Started painting the walls a gun metal color

Almost completed the hold this week. Did not go anywhere near the amazing custom work that many here are working on - needed to reign in the amount of time and money spent here. Only real customizing was splitting the bench in two - and the little piece is still getting sanded and smoothed before adding here.

Summoned all my patience and zen and painted the details on the control panel.




I'm also now on the waiting list for the ParaGrafix Cockpit set. So I'll holding off on finishing the cockpit until that is ready to ship.

Taking a little time off the Falcon since my Anovos Stormtrooper armor kit came today. Can't wait to dig into this!

You may not have gone crazy with the mods in the hold but what you have done does look rather nice indeed, great job ThumpUp ThumpUp

I really like your paint and weathering on the corridor halls, pads and floors. It looks like you softened up the edges of the pads and they look great!

Thanks Bwize. Yes - I lightly held each pad with this style vice-grips and sanded the edges a bit more rounder. Saved some skin on my fingers (and cramps).
