Thank you RAGIII and EDO.
Scalemates lists the kit at about 1/56 - but I have read there is different opinions on this. The AT-ST from the set is slightly larger than the Bandai 1/48 version, so I guess its not a fixed scale for all of the models.
However its a good size for the shelf
I got some base paint on it! Just to give you an idea what direction im going.
had issues with tape lifting the paint. Mostly the problem was the multi layered chipping fluid.
This created some more texture on the surface. Instead of stripping the paint I decided to incorporate it in the final weathering. Other places were re-sprayed and chipped.
I plan on dialing some chipping back during the weathering.
