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.
Best HWK I've seen ever.

*looks at my own HWK-290*
*throws both the mini and all paint in house away*
Seriously, this looks amazing.
Fantastic NMM. Probably the best I've seen on an X-Wing miniature. Great job.
Edited by riplikash****, that turned out beautifully!
I'll be in my bunk.
Very lovely work.
That's so metal
Iincredible. Top 3 repaint I've ever seen.
Beautiful NMM
I
HATE
YOU
SO
MUCH
RIGHT
NOW
Seriously though, that is a gorgeous job.
I don't know why......but I'd love to see an HWK painted up to look like the Maraj from Silverhawks.
Best HWK I've seen ever.
Hate to steal a line but " Best HWK I've ever seen"
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??
Thats really neat.
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!
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" 
It looks very great. Very metallic. Very evil.
Reminds me of an 80s cartoon laser shooting robot eagle? Golden elements and red eyes? Anyone?
Dredd-Hawk. AWESOME
Awesome work there dude

Don't do that man, all you need is a truckload of practice, time and patience.
That's so metal

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.

Yes it does look evil. I wonder if we could come up with a great 80s cartoon villain name for it?
Best HWK I've seen ever.
