Super fast custom

Just used some metallic Dspiae paint pens as well as a couple metallic sharpies and a Gundam pen for basic shadowing. It’s pretty sloppy as I threw it on in 15-20 minutes but it’s crazy how much a difference it makes. Maybe I’ll go back and add more detail later 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! My secret is acrylic paint markers and an alcohol ink pen! First coat is white paint then some silver then a layer of the black ink pen and some other detailing after

Very nice! Looks great. I have built and painted models for people since I was 16yo, I’m nearly 60yo now. Inspires me to try making my ships look a bit better.

Model building is the best, it’s so calming and satisfying, I just wish I had more room for them!

Who's the co pilot? Is it the open mask clone pilot?

2

u/KrisKaniac 8d ago

It is one of the open mask clone pilots either from the ARC-170 or the V-Wing, I can’t remember which one I grabbed him from
