We are working on a Clone Wars era HOTAC and I was asked to paint a Firespray like Jango's. I got the first one done and wanted one for myself. I decided to add the mid ship guns and the missile tube under the main guns. I may add the seismic charge port to the ship in the future.

Cool mod!

... but thick paint. Specially the yellow. White-grey areas are nice.

Yeah. I don't know why that didn't thin out. It may have been the paint. I didn't have the right yellow in the normal paint I use so I used a cheap bottle I had. I re-did the yellow and its better now but still a little thick. Its not as bad in person. I was going to retake the pictures but I have it packed for a tournament this weekend. I'm going to cut the top set of guns down. Found a good picture of them and they are shorter then the normal ones.

Yeah, looks like an old can of yellow, there seem to be chunks in a few spots. Yellow is notoriously difficult to paint though. The best way I've found is to start with a brown because it lays down a good base. Then add more and more yellow as you add layers, then pure yellow as the top layer. It takes longer, but it's preferable to either: underneath colors bleeding through, or piling paint on and ruining the textures.

The other way of doing yellow is of course, by priming the model with white primer. Then a layer or two of yellow paint and you're done. It can be annoying to get everything else back to darker shades, on the other hand!

Thanks for posting, and good luck on your tournament!

I always wanted to have one of my Firesprays in Jango colors. Looks nice.

Thanks. It really doesn't look bad in person. The camera catches everything. I repainted the strips by the windows and it looks better. I haven't redone the front yellow strip or the saucer.

I did terrible at that game but had fun anyway. 3 re-painted Firesprays caught a lot of attention which I liked. Did good at the main tournament though.
