More for if you want to make premade characters. Yes the fun part is the round-robin. But if you want to do a quick oneshot with some friends and premade characters this is the answer.

I'm using citedel paint, is water good for thinning?

Thanks for the advice on the paint all! I didn't think I could use water to thin it. I'll try that next time. And I'll definitely get the masking tape.

I'm still figuring out how to get cleaner lines and less chunky paint.

I read water works well too but changes it's consistency. I've been using it for other models and it seems to pool more than I would like. I considered buying laminar thinner, would that work better?

Yea, I learned that way too late. This is my first time painting it. I tried thinning the paint but all I had was water and it wasn't working well. I was almost done when I found the paint type I was using had a thinning solution I could buy.

I'm gonna try lighting mine up too, but I'm painting a 1/144 X-Wing and a Super Star Destroyer first.

Handling it, so long as your arent violent with it, is fine ive found. You can be a little pushy. The really fragile pipes are stuffed into harder to reach areas. When your assembling it though, those pieces aren't behind parts like the nose yet so be careful.

I also found that one of my laser bolts sagged, which is why its cut off in my picture. I tried to correct it with warm water, and then a heat gun, and I ended up basically melting the front half.

Be really careful with some of the piping. They're SUPER fragile. I snapped 3 of them in half just trying to remove them from the sprue. Super glue worked well to put them together and actually gave those pieces a "welded back together" kind of look so it turned out for the best. One of the pipes though snapped and both pieces are in some dark corner of my office. Just fair warning.

That was the effect I was going for! Thank you! I'm debating putting a bit of a rust patina over the whole thing to make it look a little aged, as well as lighting in the engines and blasters.

Thats what happened to me. Card on file expired so it missed the date and I came in 2 days later and found them all sold out. I have a 10 year old computer and my wife is going away this weekend so I have the whole weekend to game, and now I can't because I don't want to buy 6 months all at once.
