Aahz's Rebel Painting

[Aahz 1 193]

Hi all - thought I'd share some painting stuff I've been doing (mostly) over the last few months.  Special shout out to @Drasnighta for the super helpful guides.  I really didn't start painting until about a year and half ago and those guides were awesome.  Thanks bud!

 

X-Wings

I really don't like the sculpt for the X-Wing.  Plus, they were the earliest things I painted.  So, at the beginning of the quarantine, I soaked all of mine in Simple Green for a week or so, then scrubbed them and started over.  I added some green stuff to make simple nosecones on the models.  I think they turned out better than my first ones in any case. Here's Luke:

And Wedge:

 

I liked Mel's version of the T-70 sculpt still better, though, so I ordered some of those to play with:

B-Wings

So most of the B-Wings I did some time ago.  However, I recently was watching the Rebels show and saw the prototype paint job on the B-Wing, so I decided to go back and redo the paint job on the B-Wing Aces (which I just finished).

Ten Numb:

Keyan Farlander:

Dagger Squadron:

Lots of generics:

Generics:

This one was totally inspired by @Drasnighta

 

From the squadron card:

 

I probably wouldn't have bothered with all these generics, but RitR actually can make use of these with the ally tokens...

YT-1300

Han was one of the first squadrons I painted (for those starting out, the irregular, larger squadrons are great to practice on before you jump into the smaller, regular squadrons (where you need to make 3 fighters look the same)):

 

I recently got the updated versions from @melminiatures, so here's Lando:

 

And because they are useful in RitR, here are some generics:

Does he have guides other than the tie fighter one?

 

Great painting

[Aahz 1 193]

Yes, there is one on Rebel ships and one on Rogues/Villains as well.

These all look great! I commend anyone who has the patience to paint these tiny, tiny spaceships.
