I am having an internal arguement with myself however, as I look back on the building so far I regret not having come up with a color scheme so that I could have painted the background of each interior piece, then paint the components one by one including the wires. My thoughts as I went along was to:
1.) Like military modeling, build as one piece then paint and weather, and add battle damage.
2.) I had not put any thought in to the final colors when I started the project, except to just come close to the movie model, but decide it would be a little different from the movie model.
3.) Figured I would just paint it afterward one color then put a wash on it. (in the access panel areas)
But now Im thinking it will look too monotone. Unless Im good enough with a brush to pick out the detail.
My questions to everyone following along, in your personal opinion, now that all the detail will be built as one:
1.) What color would you paint in the open access panel areas, including the engine bay, feul area, and other panels?
2.) How would you paint it your self in the above areas, to match an outside color scheme as well?
3.) Also talking about the color scheme for the outside of the vehicle?
3a.)Basically if this was your model to finish from this point on how would you finish it?
My thoughts on the outside paint scheme would be different shades of grey, and then maybe orange panels like the movie or grey like rogue leader.
Thats where I am now. Happy with the progress but thinking I should have been painting them as I went along.......
