mostly I wanted a dirtly unkept smuggling feel, so I wnt with a bit of dirt and scorching on the hull.

sorry about the crappy quality of my camera phone pics

comments? critique?

Looks great. I realy wish I could get that blue glow on my own models. I wouldn't know how to go about it, and then I doubt I would have the skill. So I'm afraid to try!

I airbrushed mine on but had to go back and clean it up. it's kind of a small space to try to do a gradiaent in.

I figured I'd post one next to a stock one to show the diffrences.

Looks great! What paints and or weathering did you use?

Breathtaking! This really fits with Lucas' vision of a "lived-in" universe.

Excuisite work. Are those engines actually glowing? How sis you manage the effects?

Thanks.
