Hi !

I ve bought a varnish mat spray but i ve never used it. All of my ship aren't varnish for the moment. I will probably use the spray on the huge ship like the transport or the tantive i m working on.

For the tie panel it's a layer of grey, nuln oil with water on all the grey, then when it's half-dry, i put some nul oiln in the corner and along the structure to make some shadow and contrast.

Then i put some thin lines of the original grey in the center of the panel to highlight a bit.

And finally a light light dry brush to highlight the relief straight lines.

For the damage on the wings, i take a wire cutter to cut the form and then, with a xacto, i try to "refine".

Some imperial primer with water, and hop ! It's done

Just finished !

Spend a lot of time on it, no airbrush :s

I m not an engine effect specialist, so i will not try to work on them yet.

Stunning! Great to see this outside of it's usual grey colour scheme!

Awesome! Now do one in blue

Absolutely love that corvette!

It's gorgeous.

Very cool Corvette, its has that Senators Shuttle wipe going on from Episode 1!

Awesome as always!

Sixwood, what colors did you use for the Solar panels here?

Also, did you pry the wings off and re-attach them, or did you just go in with a brush for precision work?

Amazing color scheme, hope you don't mind that I steal it

Hello ! No worries for the stealing, my Police skill is not available out of France

for the main body, it's black and 2 dry brush of grey and light grey. With some really thin line of grey/white.

For the panel it's dark brown, then wash of nuln oil , then 1 dry brush of dark brown, onatoher of skrag brown and finally a small one of sand color ( don't remeber the name ).

I know i have said that before, but i m on the point to make a tutorial for easy painting technics.

I will start with a hawk and if it had some viewers ( not only me ^^ ) i will make others

i would watch. =) simple and exact information is best.

if you think this brush and that wash and that paint is best, say so firmly. Many will follow your lead. =)

I've got an all black Advanced on my table.. just haven't figured out what to do with it.. I like your concept with the grey and the paneling colored with brown... I may give the grey a try, and maybe go blue with the panels on it.. I also like the red details on the front. I also think I'm goint to find a place to put port and starboard lights for it.. maybe some white running lights for the bottom also.. ahh.. the fun you can have with paint.. lol

Hello !

Just realized i haven't post my yt1300. I m still working on it when i have the time.

The last update i ve done is the installation of the yt2400 turret on it.

Did you freehand that Rebel phoenix?

Awesome work! Very inspirational. I'm thinking of doing a Kath Firespray too.

Yes it's a simple freehand

Here is my nashtah pup, based on a plan found on the web.

Not really happy with the extra cockpit frame, but that's ok. First try with miliput since i m out of greenstuff.

If he is too long for enter in the hound, i will change the place of the canon

Very cool!

Sixwood, let me rephrase my last post concerning the corvette:

Would you like to paint mine blue?

No way LtRico, it's tooooooooo long ^^

Here is my lambda.

I have the imperial logo to finish , the canons and the engine but i don't want to do them today ^^ lazy me !

I ve bought some dirt pigments and i will try them soon.

THAT HALF SYMBOL IS SO COOL. WHY ARE YOU SO ARTSY FARTSY

also sorry a real question: how do you get the gradient looking effects from your painting? Is that just layers and applying the lighter ones less on top?

No way LtRico, it's tooooooooo long ^^

To be fair, I should have expected that inuendo

That Lambda is crazy good too...

For the gradient, i only do in this order generaly : base layer, dry brush, lavis, base layer and then one or two lighter layers to highlight.

It happens that i use more washes and ink like on the tie fighter

Defender for the desert storm squad

That Defender looks vicious.

Those are some awesome paint jobs... weird thing i just painted one of my phantoms decloaking and it looks alot like yours....
