[Bunaldinho] Movie Collectibles

Bunaldinho · February 6, 2019

A few weeks ago I started several customs. For this one I had bought the "Tie Striker" by Hasbro for very little money. 🛒
The model has a lot of correct proportions in view of a toy, but the paintjob is just toyish. 👨🏼‍🎨
First of all, I began to unscrew the Tie Striker to prepare him for priming, as well as to remove the Nerf-function, since the spaceship shall be a showcase piece.
For the primer, as well as the later paintjob, I used an "H&S Infinity Airbrush-Pistole" 🔫 and Vallejo acrylic colors. 🎨 Later on, the model got a weathering to demonstrate wear and tear.
I am satisfied with the current status, even though I will certainly find something to improve within the next weeks, because I haven't applied a final coating yet. .

Thank you, sir. That's what it was supposed to be. First time using an Airbrush (thanks to my brother in law)

Thank you! Took me some time and... I had to clean my room after it LOOOOL - painting dust became my new lodger. Have to create a display stand for it.

Is it just me or did my posting disappear?

It was hidden (it can happen if specific words are used), but I made it visible again 🙂
