"Echo" repaint

By ExpatSmuggler, in X-Wing

After taking a bit of a painting hiatus to work on some other things, I got around to painting a Phantom last night. I decided to give a go at the subtle blue effect from the "Echo" pilot card. Rather pleased with the results!

When I clicked on this I was thinking, "OK, seen one Phantom repaint, seen them all," but this is exceptional. Best one I've seen so far.

Respect.

NICE!

I thought it would be pink, cos she's a girl.

Good work on making it look like her Art.

Whisper is the girl, Echo is the guy. Really.

Compared to the card I love it, but the 2 phantoms now don't really go together, since they use 2 different ways of decloaking. That said, I wouldnt give a flying rhino about that and just enjoy the great paint job :)

They are just at different phases of the process, that's how I see it.

That truly is a thing of beauty! I love how you've found a great in-universe reason to really spice up the look of the model.

Thanks! Yeah I see it the same way as Hexis; they are simply in different stages of the cloaking/de-cloaking process. I based the "Whisper" model off of her card as well:

So I think fluff wise, it must just be different stages of the same process. :)
