MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted July 2, 2014 Decided to do something a bit different with this one. A model almost completely painted with NMM techniques. For those of you not familiar with the term. NMM means Non-Metallic Metal and refers to painting something so that it looks like metal despite not using metallic paints, in this case gold and dark metal/gun metal. 27 Patriarch, Eltnot, Osoroshii and 24 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riplikash 157 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Fantastic NMM. Probably the best I've seen on an X-Wing miniature. Great job. Edited July 2, 2014 by riplikash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn Rockfist 525 Posted July 3, 2014 I don't know why......but I'd love to see an HWK painted up to look like the Maraj from Silverhawks. 2 Crabbok and Explosive Ewok reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R22 1,065 Posted July 3, 2014 The paint job is fantastic but I'm blown away by the detail. Look at the belly turret beneath the canopy. It has striping detail! How'd you do that?? 1 GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ApollosSpear 28 Posted July 3, 2014 that is one of the cleanest paint job i have ever seen. i wish i had four hand so that i could give it four thumbs up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DB Draft 1,305 Posted July 3, 2014 Very nice. It's a shame that it doesn't improve the actual stats of the Hwk 290.... "A Hwk 290 by any other paintjob is still a Hwk 290" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malmer 338 Posted July 3, 2014 It looks very great. Very metallic. Very evil. Reminds me of an 80s cartoon laser shooting robot eagle? Golden elements and red eyes? Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted July 3, 2014 Well you guys certainly liked my latest project. Me happy! *looks at Macross' HWK-290**looks at my own HWK-290**throws both the mini and all paint in house away*Seriously, this looks amazing. Don't do that man, all you need is a truckload of practice, time and patience. That's so metal The paint job is fantastic but I'm blown away by the detail. Look at the belly turret beneath the canopy. It has striping detail! How'd you do that?? What do you mean striping? The belly gun is painted just like the rest of the ship. It looks very great. Very metallic. Very evil. Reminds me of an 80s cartoon laser shooting robot eagle? Golden elements and red eyes? Anyone? Yes it does look evil. I wonder if we could come up with a great 80s cartoon villain name for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
