So, I'm really late to this party... Having just found this whole "no really guys, I do own paints and brushes" gig. Tonight, I pulled the primed (and broken up) Falcon I've been using in games out of my case and started painting it. The hull has a basecoat and a first layer. The Fire Prism next to it is my guide for colors and that's going to be the really tough part since I don't necessarily have the exact shade I used originally and it probably doesn't exist in its exact form any longer, so I'm having to match colors as best I can. I used an orange basecoat on the body, but I do remember using a red basecoat on the fire prism (and wave serpent), so I'll have a little extra work to do on that to get the colors to match. Ultramarines Macragge Blue saved me for the gun turret basecoat. Mordian Blue is the base for the wings. Can't decide which I like more, and I'm pretty sure that Ultramarines was the base for the rest of the army (Guardians and vehicles) as already painted. Tomorrow I'll work on it more, and maaaaaaybe it'll be done by Sunday, but definitely the end of the month as next week is my Spring Break.

Just needs a coat of varnish. Speaking of which, anyone have any suggestions on getting a new can of spray matte varnish? Don't really want to drive to Downer's Grove or Palatine for a can of Purity Seal (if it's even still available). I know I can get Aileen to do it for a couple of bucks, but I'd rather have some on hand and my current can is dead. Attachments:

I think I got my can of matte varnish from either Hobby Lobby or Michael's. You could also check Blick. I don't remember if I had to get it in the suburbs, however.
