Edge dry-brushing with titanium silver enhances every joint and bolt, creating authentic wear on moving components and claw edges. Heat staining and oil discoloration on the exhaust cowls and cannon barrels achieved through layered purple-blue pigments and graphite blending. Rust effects subtly worked into lower leg pistons and actuator seams using burnt sienna and dark umber oil washes.
Soot and blast scoring across the front plating and cannon barrels applied using airbrushed carbon pigment for plasma residue realism. Interior cockpit lightly dusted and sealed for a fogged-glass atmospheric effect, suggesting grime from years of field use. Final pass: A unifying matte seal coat to lock pigments while preserving micro-sheen metallics, followed by selective gloss accents on lenses and hydraulics for a cinematic, in-universe finish.
Every panel tells a story - this machine looks used, repurposed, and dangerous. Designed for 3.75-inch scale figures, pairing perfectly with Star Wars dioramas or Alien-verse crossovers.
Functional articulation and working cockpit fit pilot figures seamlessly. Each piece is hand-crafted, signed, and unique - never duplicated. We found the old Kuat rig still moving through the refinery dust. Its pilot was long gone.
But the machine hadn't noticed. Extract from Rebel Forward Command Report, Lotho Minor Sector Thanks for looking, Josh.
