Imperial Star Destroyer – Painted in Grey and Black

I’ve been slowly building up a fleet of Imperial ships that are painted in black with grey stripes.  I don’t have a huge amount of time to dedicated to the project which is why I’ve chosen this colour scheme:

• I can undercoat in black, which makes the ship ready for highlights almost immediatley
• Black is easy to highlight using grey

I also wanted to expriment using 6mm masking take to produce straight lines.  

I deemded the Imperial Star Destroyer model too big to bother with blending any grey highlights – I just used dry-brushing.

Adding the yellow & yellow/white to represent interal lighting on inside the ship was probably the job that took the longest.  I did a very light dry-brush around the areas that had lighting which give a slight yellow ‘glow’ effect.
