I'm curious why you put primer on the cockpit door that the decal will get attached to? Are you planning to hand paint instead of using decals? I'm very curious what you will be doing with that part and lighting.

The paint booth looks great!! You whipped that up in no time, very impressive!

Thanks Impatience, I am planing on painting the bulkhead in German grey, I am also thinking about fill in the holes with clear window maker glue once that is done i will flip the bulkhead over and using Tamiya clear blues greens and reds to accent the led lights and decals, seen it done on other models...

Lighting and paint ideas

Stick to your guns and build your Falcon the way you envision it!!!

thanks guys, here are some more pics, been working on the nav seats and bulkhead, also got the shadowing and hull base coats done, the control yokes and paints and love the way they came out, did a base coat of gun metal and then highlighted the hand grips in rubber black and center mounts in silver and black rubber, gave it great contrast and breaks up the form... as for pics sorry if they are fuzzy and if i repeat photos

still waiting on the next shipment, moved my workstation to a more permanent and lees dining room table location!!! also got the nozzle ports drilled for the quad cannons pics to follow soon.

Shiny, be curious how this looks once it's done. I could see the silver being a great base. And if you add any scratches later on it would have a very authentic look.

And I may have missed it, what did you do to get the color variations on the back panel of the cockpit? That looks really good so far.

That's the plan, For the cockpit Bulkhead I filled in the holes with clear window maker, once that had dried and set I painted the spaces with Tamiya clear blue and red paints... that pic was taken with a led flash light in a coffee cup to simulate the passage way that comes with the kit, once i get the model led and battery pack going i will re-eval the colors and add more if need be... thanks for the response!!!

One of the guys I am following on facebook and Youtube is building the Bandia sets and when he did the R2D2 he used a silver base and then fine misted the blues for the dome and body. it gives this great effect of metal flake,

even though its nots a Falcon build its a great watch for weathering, I watch both Him and Foxx Wolf at model Making Guru

I used clear Tamiya colors also on the back side for the cabin Bulkhead sticker. I like the way it turned out. Its not as bright when I put a light behind it.
I watched the link he has very good ideas and he's funny. Thank you for that. I have following Foxx on his builds.
