Finally finished the mountain of sanding and got it to a stage where it was 90% happy so I called it there (I've found I can chase that last 10% forever..)
I used MTN 94 flat white as a base coat, then gave it two coats of MTN Hardcore - Satin white
A common mistake with Clones is people give them a flat white finish. This is correct for Animated Clones, but for realistic Clones you want a little bit of shine.
Basically:
Matt/Flat white: Animated troopers
Satin white: Movie troopers
And this is the result, a Semi Gloss finish! I am very happy with how it came out. I'd give myself a 9/10 haha, could get a better finish with a proper spray gun.
Also got the white coats on Bacara and the dome
Ignore the mess that is my backyard.. we are rennovating the house. Anyway, got the brown on the AT-RT. I used MTN 94 "Kraft brown".
I'll leave the helmets for a week to cure before taping up for the next coats.
Vode An!
