Red and Blue (No White)

Last night was red and blue night. First the red:

And here's how the turret will look on the Falcon:

And then the blue. With flash, then without (old model on the right for comparision):

I got the effect by putting a light drybrush of light blue on the raised parts, and then the Pure Blue on the lighter parts to take away the paleness. I'm not sure if I'm happy with the result or not yet, I'll see how it feels tonight. But I'm definitely happier with this approach than with the old method which was simply blue followed by white highlight.
