That's a nice looking build. I think the finish is spot on.

And I like how it looks on its legs. When I did mine I put it on the stand, which is far to fragile. I must get another one of these, mine is looking a little worse for wear.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Good job. And wise move not weathering too much. If anyone had their ride washed & waxed regularly it would be Lord Vader. Very clean. Very nice.

I've just completed this one, for a Group Build. Built from MPC's kit.

It was hard to get pics, of the highlighting I did, on the panel lines. You can sort of make them out. I really didn't want to go overboard weathering it. So I left it as is, with just the airbrushed highlights.

My build can be seen here: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/29/t/151972.aspx

Let me know what you think:

I took this pic, before dulling down the body a bit and adding 2 coats of Future, to his helmet.
