I was sure I posted this question...but maybe I didn't?
Star Wars Landspeeder... in the movie it is very dirty, and covered with a lot of damage. Fan replicas always seem to distressed and following in the same look. I have found a full scale replica project that I have been using as reference. Its an extremely well done copy of the movie vehicle, and it too is done in a very distressed look. I also found a website detailing the rebuild of the original vehicle from the 1977 movie. The rebuild is by the same two guys who built the original! (I believe it was the 76/77 original, restored and used in the Phantom Menace) So, the paint and weathering effects mirror their original efforts. Anyway... I am torn between leaving my model in a nice clean factory finish or do I completely destroy the finish with weathering, paint peels and scratches?

I say weather. This is how most people got around on tatooine and, with the frequent sandstorm and two Suns, I'm sure most will have their fair share of use shown

I'm with Ray. Weather it in its own separate layer like Graffam does his buildings.

Cmon.
These are koolwheelz models. The idea has always been "as simple as possible". I'm not getting into multiple layers and stuff. I don't even like the freakin' movie. Its either bashed up or not bashed up.

You're right. I say unbashed and let the customer weather ('distress') it as, and if, they want to.

To qoute my copy of "The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels":
"Finally, Aunt Beru convinced her husband to to allow Luke to purchase the speeder. Owen went along to give the old brown SoroSuub X-34 a good once-over... While the landspeeder's body was scratched and dented, Luke was more concerned about whether it was at least as fast as the speeders his friends owned. It wasn't long before turbine cowlings, computer circuits, and repulsor-generator parts littered the floor of the garage. Uncle Owen left Luke to himself, figuring that he was learning mechanical skills that would make him a better moisture farmer... Every older vehicle has a few quirks, and Luke's speeder was no exception. He finished patching up the repulsion floater just a few days before R2-D2 and C-3P0 came into his life, but the left turbine engine's converter coil wires were constantly burning out, indicating a faulty power regulator." Just so you know, I'm indifferent about the movies, but I love the ships and vehicles. If you want to keep Disney's lawyers a little further away, go with a factory fresh finish.
