The Mandalorian Razor Crest

 The Razor Crest from Bandai is a 1/144 scale kit with the highest detail I've seen in such a small(!) kit. From the site: 

The Razor Crest is the trusty transport and living quarters of the mysterious bounty hunter known as The Mandalorian.

Bandai have created a 1/144 scale plastic model kit of this already classic Star Wars ship. So if you are a fan of the show, have some glue, paint and an urge to build a model of Mando's spaceship, this Bandai kit may be what you are looking for.

These Bandai kits are small but have a good level of detail along with Bandai's build quality.

 This is a hard kit to talk about as it was built quite a while ago but then just sat there. I remember the engineering to be terrific and quite usual for Bandai.

 When I got back to the kit, it was ready for a primer coat, and then since I'll be applying a metallic - a gloss black coat. 

When that was dry, it got a coat of VMC silver. I let that dry overnight, and the next day I started weathering. It's pretty normal for Star wars not to be too concerned about continuity. So scuffs and mud you see in one scene doesn't mean they are still there in the next. So preserving the silver for a ship that got it's beatings I left the dirt to a minimum. 

 

 Next was the yellow-orange markings. There were decals for it, but sitting so long I have no idea where the box or decals went. So it was to give it a shot and just freehand it. From memory I knew it had two slanted lined, but there was other things next to/behind the doors.  Once again looking it up 100 different examples done 100 different ways. So I did my best. 

So the base would have a little something I found an image of his crest - a Mudhorn, printed that out and with matte medium stuck it to the base. With that I was calling another lil kit finished. Thanks for looking. 

 

 

 

The Occupation of Jedha City

The Bandai Star Destroyer build was easy, and with it's small scale I left the painting minimal. I left it with a gray underside and a white and white gray topside. The details were highlighted with some V. Gray wash. 
Jedha City, from JPG Productions, was painted in browns and orange browns and then washed with sepia and brown. From there I highlighted some roof tops in Ivory, and Buff. Then I overemphasized the shadow of the Star Destroyer on the city with Citadels Nuln Oil. Thanks for looking.

Bandai's star Destroyer

This is a kit I felt I had to get after buying JPG's Jeddah City base a long while ago. I know, odd that I would buy a base first... ;)     
This is a pic from JPG page - 

The Ship doesn't have a scale, and I haven't taken the time to figure it out, but it ends up being about 4 or 5 inches long.  The big plus that's normal for Bandai kits is that the detail is tremendous - 

One "Duh" moment I had was that at first I thought I could build it w/o instructions (and prolly could), but don't see any. Then I see amidst all the Japanese writing to "Go to this site for English", which I do and then no directions. Then the box top gets turned over and there they are!  Should should have known it as other small Japanese models have the instructions there as well. LOL Oh well - here's an image in case someone else has a brain fart - 

I left off with the craft drying from a priming. I figure a coat of white and then some light wash to bring out the detail and I'll call this one done. Check back for the finished model. Thanks for looking.
