Outer Atlantic Fleet

By Sixwood, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hi !

As i ask in my starviper post, i finally decided to create one only thread to post my ships :)

Have to find the photos i have and finish my ships before the raider came !

Hope you will like them!

I start with my decimator .

That transport looks nice and beat up.

Have to finish here by adding damages and dirt.

And those engines glow... Really not happy with .

Awesome! I loooove that dazzle painted Deci!

Doooooooooooooooooooood that Decimator looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job on all three ships. I especially like the Dazzle Decimator.

Good job on all of these!

However I really like the GR75 and the Firespray - very rising sun-y!

The Transport reminds me even more of a roach now :D

Thanks :)

Here are my two phantoms cloacking, and decloaking ^^

Your repaints are incredible! Beautiful work.

Wow.

Can't stop looking at those Z-95s. I think I'm in love.

Hello again !

Thanks for your feedbacks :)

Here is one of my awings inspired by one i've seen on afewmanoeuvers ( if i remember well )

Look at the battle damage! The A-wing has always been my favorite ship in the Star Wars universe and you did it full justice with this paint scheme. I absolutely love the way it turned out. It is just the right amount of grit on an otherwise sleek, high performance starfighter. You are super talented at painting. If you didn't live in France, I'd want to mail you all my minis to paint too.

I'm quite impressed with your work Sixwood. However I do believe that your ships deserve better photos so I highly recommend that you invest in a better photo set-up. It doesn't have to be terribly expensive, some proper lights, a decent background, perhaps a camera stand and also a light tent. The set-up I use didn't cost much more than aproximately 90€ / 100$ and I certainly get decent enough pictures with it.

These are insane! Fantastic work, I can't even decide which one(s) I love the most.

Many thanks guys :)

@MacrossVf1 : Yes you re totally right for the photo. All phone made for the moment ^^

I will look for a set up as you said, not for the moment but it's a good idea.

All of my paints are done in the goal to have a good render on the table, at 50 cm / 1 meter. I don't have the skill level for good render on macro photo :)

here my 2 open xwings ( not happy with the photo render there :P )

The lines of the camo are not really straight, especially the black tone. I will certainly fix that soon and finish the black reactors too ^^ ( i just notice that i don't have finished them !)

Here it is, the first Tie fighter for the desert squad !

The imperial symbol is a pain to paint, so i will do only one ship with it. It will represent howlrunner or mauler on the table.

The 4 others tie still unpaint for the moment . Il will paint some little marks on the wing ( idea stole from the macrossVf1 thread :) )

hop you like it !

That is, without doubt, the coolest TIE fighter I've ever seen in my life.

The battle damage gives it that... used and abused look.. overall it looks great, and I am envious of the painted imp cog on the wings.. I just don't have the vision to do those.. still looking at using a stencil I have for that..
