A Wing paint job.

By Capt Green, in X-Wing

Weekend project is nearly complete, still a little work to do on it but overall I'm pretty happy.SAM_1283_zpsd01730a0.jpgSAM_1282_zpsae674055.jpg

Wow I'm in love with this A-wing!

Sweet! I'm loving the inlaid red with the gray space between it and the blue. Well done!

Nice clean lines, very nice paint job. Though... I'm not a fan of the colors, but that's just me. You've done a good job on it. Nice work

Thanks :)

The cream V at the front was free hand using the lines on the ship as a guide, the cream line seperating the blue and read was done using tape on one side and the lines on the ship as a guide

That's cool. I saw a '32 Ford painted very similar not long ago.

Very impressive, those lines are great.

That's awesome. What inspired the color scheme?

Amazing and clean work!

Not my style personally, but I like it. Well done.

Looks great!

I suggest adding a light wash. I've done that for a lot of my ships (all the A-Wings), even ones I haven't painted myself, gives them a much Rebbely feel.

I agree with the sentiment that is wouldn't be the colours I would choose, but superb work on the lines!

The colours definitely suit the ship style - very racing car!

I got the inspiration from this, found it on Google images, not sure where from, got the idea from 'texture 6', going to try 'texture 4' when I have time and patience!

Fourscore and seven seconds ago, I saw an A-Wing paint job that was awesome.

Is it bad that I want to bring my A-Wing total up to seven, so I can do one of each?

Absolutely not. The A-Wing was always my favorite ship, and when they fixed it, I somehow ended up with 12. Ya gotta have a whole squadron of course.

Very nice, I like #4 too, though I'd explode trying to achieve it. Hope you succeed, I want to see that pic.

Aw, I knew it! Dude, good choice!

For what it's worth for people who are unfamiliar, that's the paint scheme options that were available to starships in Star Wars Galaxies. There's a set of templates like these for all of the starships. If you go digging around the internet you'll be able to find them for most of the ships that are available for X-Wing if you are looking for inspiration on paint jobs in the future. (Note that not all of the paint options for the ships are that great)

Wow. (I say that as one who rarely comments on paintjob threads.)
