Bandai 1/12 C-3PO

After spending a day out with Master Luke trying to find some annoying R2 unit who ran away...




Weathered only with acrylics; the oils and enamels do nasty things to Bandai plastic.

I did a couple enamel washes on my Bandai TIE. After an hour, you'll hear the model start to squeak and groan. That is stress cracks developing as the enamel attacks the plastic. Although my model didn't just fall apart, many modellers have had this happen.
