Hi everyone, got something new. I find it fun (and stops me from getting boared) to work on two different models at a time. It does take longer but I find it is more fun.

This is clone trooper Alpha-98 - Alpha class Advanced Recon Commando Captain:

"Men like me don't start the wars. We just die in them".

Pics are not good (mobile phone camera) but I have filed a request with Santa for an early Christmas gift...digital camera!

Comments are most welcome.

Very nice figure. The paint chips and subtle weathering make this a lovely piece. Ta for showing us and how did you do the chipped paint?
Great stuff,
Grant

This period all STAR WARS I see before me and in the forum and a clone.
Well, the photo can not be one of the best but I understand that you have made cult job and other colors and stain damage is amazing!
Well Done!!

Hi Grant,

Thanks once again for your comments! A bit of encouragement for new members goes a long way!

The chipped paint was a pain... but eventually it turned out to be a simple process. I painted the red strips along the arms in red colour allowing for the acrylic paint to give its own tones. After three hands of watered down red paint I began applying the white along the edges in a non-uniform pattern. The white paint is of slightly heavier consistency to make sure that the red did not show underneath. The scratches were done with quick light brush strokes.

This is the best I can say to explain the technique.

Thanks,

Ant

Very, very nice Ant

Great job - lovely realistic battle-worn paint.

Very nicely done!
