YT-1000 Part 11 Landing Gear and Paint.

Well just a few pics of the finishing touches.



Base coat on the landing bay doors.
 And weathering.





For a base coat I used Tamiya Insignia White from the spray can. I then used the methods described in these tutotials.

I used odorless paint thinner instead of Turpenoid, I found the thinner dried sooner and was easier to work with. The Turpenoid never really dried and left the model oily, where the thinner did not. I also modified the methods a bit to suit my preference.






















I'll get some better pictures taken soon so you can see it fully finished, other wise this model is done. Thanks for viewing and stay tuned for more models and props.
