Jango Stubby Scratch Build

[dynamic1]

Alright guys, began the paint process. I was able to get my hands on the Regal gloss blue by Krylon but went w/ a more turquoise blue for the trim which seemed very close.



Excuse my obsession w/ the tape : ). At ThirdEthree's advice I went w/ the Tamiya masking tape and man what a HUGE difference w/ the detail w/ respect to the lines!

Fettseven and I decided to go w/ a bright silver metallic airbrush on the back as well as trim areas to save the stress w/ rub n buff. This will allow for an easier time when applying the r and b.


Layed down the rest of the blue followed by the "turqoise/blue". Notice the detail I was able to get w/ the Tamiya masking tape...thanks again ThirdEthree!

Got the bottom grill and thruster attached. Waiting for paint on greeblies to cure before permanently attaching.
A heads up for those who maybe interested, this pack may end up in the Cargo Hold.

Yeah I know. I just want to enjoy that "new car smell" for a few days before I dirty up the silver "unobtainium alloy"

My wife is always wondering why I work so hard on the paint job and then cover it up with weathering and dirt......But she does agree that it looks more "real" once it is weathered.

Was able to get some more work done over the holiday weekend. Hope to complete this guy in the next week or so.

Cones, thrusters, vent and bolts near complete...should have these mounted up by the end of the week

Fett Seven, any chance you have an unpainted Jango Arena Jetpack available?
