HMG Paints worked with model maker Guy Cowen to develop a new color range based on hues used in the production of the original "Star Wars" movie.
The new Archive-X range of colors, available from www.archive-x.com, was inspired by the colors available in 1977 for the original production team.
“I’ve been searching for an exact color match for my new Millennium Falcon model for a number of years and wasn’t very optimistic about the odds of success, so I contacted HMG,” said Cowen, whose models include studio scale X-Wings and TIE Interceptors. “The job that HMG did was fantastic, and it inspired me to develop my own range of products with the hues used from the original trilogy. The Archive-X range will make many hobbyists very happy. We’ve been searching for these colors for some time.”
The Manchester-based manufacturer has previously supplied coatings for the Alien franchise and Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists.
“...[T]he details in his models is incredible and we’re proud that HMG products will be appearing on his and other hobbyists stunning creations,” said Phil Carey, HMG color technician.
The new range is available in 30ml sizes.
