In Progress » Millenium Falcon [1/72 Fine Molds Kit] » Discoloration Tutorial Pt 2

Posted on Monday, March 21, 2011, 2:51 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer.
Filed under Commissions, Modeling, Models In-Progress, Tips & Techniques.

Today I applied my second layer of the Discoloration Technique to the Falcon. Usually I only apply one layer, but I really want this to have a lot of depth and a lot of age to the look. First off is part 2 of the video tutorial:

And again, here’s a close-up image of the area I worked on before applying it to the rest of the kit.

Here’s the kit with the full application of the 2nd discoloration.

Another close-up. While my primer and preshade darkened the visible engine areas, I’ve bee adding extra dark mud and starship filth to those to get them nice and grimy.

After this dries for a day I’ll begin the modulation (adding light and darker tones) to the various panels as well as painting the gray panels in oils.
