I completed my first YT-2400 repaint.

Stripes! :D

HoundsTooth - I really love your Phantom! It looks fantastic!

Not altogether happy with it, but one semi-cloaked Phantom.

Thanks Cosmos - I think this ones better ^^

:D

But is it semi-cloaked or struck by an ion cannon turret? Who knows :D

It's very nice painting :)

Fantastic work I love the rust look on the ships, but i can't help but wonder if a standard Tie fighter would be around long enough to even rust..

My most recent repaint.

I completed my first YT-2400 repaint.

I didn't want a yt2400, but then I saw this and now need to do this paint job.

Very nice!

I know this isn't fancy painting but like this is what I did so far with decals for nail art.

I think that's a brilliant idea!

Love the stripes and reminds me of a WWII era Thunderbolt.

That looks awesome Mei, and I love the decals.. I use em too.. the white looks good as well, makes it pop..

My first try at N'Dru...

Updated. I added two gray stripes to dress up this red YT-2400.

Magnets! I figured out how they work!

You know what's ALWAYS bugged me? The quads on the underside of the Falcon being mounted backwards. If they were just POINTED backwards, that would have been fine, but since the gunner is supposed to be sitting in the window, aiming more or less straight down the barrels, I always hated how they had to be mounted to accommodate the factory peg. So with a little careful prying and cutting and gluing, I reattached the lower quads the right way and I'm MUCH happier with it. :)

I made a whole thread about them here :

My magnets should be arriving anytime now today!! I am excited for making the conversions as soon as they are here - I have B-Wing's just waiting .

Here is my first repainted ship. I got the YT-2400 last week. One part of the model was unpainted, so it motivated me to try and repaint it. I went with a paint chipping method I've learned with my scale model kits (I'm a big WW2 tanks and airplane enthusiast). It is maybe a little to subtle, but will definitely do it again on another YT-2400 or on a YT-1300.

I like that. I like that a lot!

Thanks! I'm really pleased with the result, and will definitely be painting more of my ships.

If that's your first Star Wars repaint then not bad. Welcome to the club, mate!
