Wave 5 Fleet Image

By Hexis, in X-Wing

With the new additions it was time for a shot of the entire fleet all together.

The new Wave 5 stuff looks so good. I'm going to need a much bigger table when Wave 6 hits, and I'm not sure what to do with the Firesprays and HWKs.

Your shuttles... Why do you torment them so?

Perhaps the Retraction modules have jammed? I hear that is a common maintenance problem with the Lambda class shuttle.

:D

That's about all the further I can get the wings down without really forcing the issue.

You can cut some plastic on a wing/hull and wings will go further for right placement.

Btw great collection!

Try a little 3-n-1 oil, I used a synthetic lubricant and they fully extent and I have no issues with them.. just a thought.

If you place the S&V in the center, you can have the HWKs and Firesprays on the outsides linking the respective factions. I assume you're just going to keep the repaints in S&V and the old paint in Rebel?

You Sir win the Internets

Two lovely looking fleets... The one on the left being more lovely obviously! :P

That number of Falcons is unethical. You have three too many.

There is an explination for the falcons. I was outfitting two other friends at Nationals with everything they needed to play a few rounds, check it out, get a Chewie card, see what i was going to spend (hopefully at the time) 1/2 my GrnCon doing. So i needed three falcons. I had two, but picked up a third to strip down to repaint. So that one is useless, ao when i needed a workable third, I had to get a 4th. A friends falcon is standing in for the stripped falcon (and two a-wings, firespray and phantom). All the refinishig is one of the reasons i have not done a fleet shot in a while. Not sure why I never thought to use stand-ins for the ones in process.

Only 2 HWK... I am ashamed for you:)

Wow I thought my collection was getting a bit insane. Nice Fleet!

Hey! I do have three TIE Advanced. Don't I get some credit for that?

I'm going to use this picture to rationalise my collection, any time someone says that I'm spending too much on X-Wing.

Seriously though, I'm a little jealous.

I've got 4. So you get credit and I get extra-credit. <lol> I can't wait for the "fix" for the Advanced.

Great fleets by the way!

Pinch in on the back joint as you bring them down. It does wonders.

Is there a tutorial on this? One of my shuttles has this problem, the other doesn't.

Beautiful!!

Dang, I should have sent you some money to pick up a few ships for me! How did you do, I assume you played while at GenCon?

7th. Lost to Paul Heaver in the 1st round of the top 8, he had 1 hit point left on his Han, so it was at literally as close at it gets. While we did run out of time, I think it's very likely if the game was un-timed I still would not have gotten the hit in on his Han. It was an amazing game.

I had a great time across all 12 rounds (one opponent was a no-show).

Beautiful collection!

But there is something that I must ask you, something that bothers my self-diagnosed OCD so much that I created an account just to ask you this. Why didn't you post a photo of your complete collection? I see that you have three red-striped interceptors so you must have acquired three sets of Imperial Aces and thus a red interceptor is missing :P.

Nope. That's not why there is a mismatch. I painted bloodstripes on one of my interceptors long before Imperial Aces was announced.

Here's a picture of the result from 3/9/2013:
