Fullmetal Voiddragon 38 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Hey all, I'm relatively new to X-Wing but I have a rapidly expanding collection of both Rebels and Imperials. Thanks in no small part to my predisposition for SMS (Shiny Model Syndrome). Coming from a 40K background I'm big into my miniature painting. I've since done a number of X-Wing repaints so I thought I'll share some of them here with the community First up is my newest acquisition: The Phantom Phantom - cloaking Phantom - decloaking Phantom menace More pics available on my blog: Hobby Foundry Edited June 18, 2014 by Fullmetal Voiddragon 22 BattlePriest, w1ndst0rm, chilligan and 19 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fullmetal Voiddragon 38 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks all for your kind words! For Wave 4 I actually prefer the TIE Defender as a model but the rules for the Phantom is just pure Amazeballs. Therefore I decided the model deserved to have a cool repaint to match its awesomesauce rules. And I agree with Mr. Sergovan, the cloaking and decloaking is full of awesome sauce Anyway next up is my YT-1300 repaint: YT-1300 Light Freighter The conversion and repaint tutorial for the YT-1300 is available on my blog here and here respectively.

Fritz40K 12 Posted June 25, 2014 Very sweet, and inspiring! I come from a 40K background also and all that time spent highlighting space marines and painting power weapon effects has paid off. Although I will confess, painting some of my own ships was quite an odd feeling at first- painting marines, and Eldar, and then transitioning to ships took some getting used to. 1 Fullmetal Voiddragon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fullmetal Voiddragon 38 Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks gents for the compliments! @Fritz40K - Yeah all that time spent highlighting Space Marines and power weapons came in handy for X-Wing repaints! Remember not all repaints are complete repaints. I intend to spice up some of my ships with additional spot colours only. Anyhow here's my Kath Scarlet repaint: You can check out the repaint tutorial here. 4 Levi Porphyrogenitus, Spaceman91, AllDeadDave and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GlassJaw 39 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Anyhow here's my Kath Scarlet repaint: Wow that looks fantastic! Some questions on the wash step: What ratio of wash do you use? Do you cover the model with the wash or use more of a pin wash technique? Edited August 10, 2014 by GlassJaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fullmetal Voiddragon 38 Posted August 14, 2014 Anyhow here's my Kath Scarlet repaint: Wow that looks fantastic! Some questions on the wash step: What ratio of wash do you use? Do you cover the model with the wash or use more of a pin wash technique? Thanks bro! In relations to the wash ratio: what I use depends on how dirty/worn I want the model to be. For Kath's white Firespray I started with a 1:1 mix of wash and water which gives it a worn out look that's not too dirty. I then followed up with 100% wash in the recessed areas. I had to look up what pin wash was but no I don't use the pin wash technique! I just covered the model with the wash. Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakura83 1,017 Posted August 31, 2014 These are all, of course, beautiful. Thing is, I just don't think I could ever own more than one Firespray. To me, it just such an iconic Boba Fett thing I think having two would just look weird to me. I feel exactly the same way about the HWK-290. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneway 1,877 Posted August 31, 2014 The Firespray, historically, was used as a systems patrol craft by law and military.. I think it should be used as such.. and why I painted up an imperial version.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
