Almost finished. I think the Imperial Emblem on the outside needs to be larger. Just doesn't look right at that size, so I'll make it about twice that size and center it in that block. While Imperial craft are usually more clean than their rebel counterparts, I decided to smudge up the track area on the outside by using the MIG washes.
Anyone who's been around tracked vehicles can tell you that even immediately following a trip to the washrack, dirt may come off, but some rust and grease stains just won't. Since the inside of the tracks has a few access panels, I thought maybe some rusty leaks might look good. Also a bit more grease is seen here around the tracks than on the outside where it would be more visible to anyone passing by.
Since the belly gun has some raised detail, I thought I would paint it so that it's visible.
I'm still not sure what that thing is that protrudes from the back of the cockpit ball, but it looks bland with 4 circular thingys on it. I made these decals and then carefully placed a small dot of acrylic silver paint in the center, let it dry, then wet the decal and placed it upside down so the silver paint is facing down. What shows through is a perfect black circle with the silver in the center.
