1/72 FINE MOLDS INCOM T-65 X-WING

With the release of Star Wars Force Awakens thought I would share this build from 2011

Model is ‘from the box’, Fine Molds use quite a hard plastic and the kit is superbly engineered which made for a nice project

Brush painted with Lifecolor and Citadel\Games Workshop acrylics plus MIG Enamel washes

I see Bandai do a ‘Force Awakens’ version in 1/72 so may have to get one of those, off to see the film at IMAX this Saturday – can’t wait

AIRFIX DR WHO, MARTHA AND THE TARDIS

Finished this back in 2011, I picked up this Airfix kit in a Modelzone sale a few years before they went out of business.

Finished in Lifecolor plus the Humbrol acrylics that came with kit and some Citadel\GW, all brush painted

Doctors suit is non-specular blue with stripes hand drawn using an old fashioned bow pen in Azure Blue followed by blue wash to tone down, tried many ways unsuccessfully before trying this and was pleased with result, gather you can get masks to easily do the stripes now. Tie and Converse were detailed by brush.
