Bandai First Order TIE Fighter 1/72 (Force Awakens)

As always I start with painting the pilot figures. Unfortunately, I dropped the seated pilot figure down the sink and he's gone for good...heh. Fortunately, a kind modeler says he doesn't use his pilot figures, and is sending me a replacement. When the seated one gets here, I'll paint him up too.

I'm always impressed with your level of detail on these tiny figures. Off to a very good start minus the sink set back.

I haven't made much more progress on this build because I got a bit sidetracked.

A few people have asked me how I paint my pilot figures on my starfighters. That inspired me to film a tutorial on my methods for painting them. The paints, thinners, brushes, etc that I use. Here is a little tease from the video. I hope to have the full video up this weekend.

Yes I will defiantly be interested on your painting video. That little dude looks fantastic.

Great! Something to distract me from my projects now. ;D

Looking forward to it. This should be very insightful.

The video will only be a few minutes. Can't distract you for too long.
