Outer Atlantic Fleet

By Sixwood, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

haha :) Thanks again all for your comments !!

For the windows i do like that :

- Khorne red

- Wash of reikland flesh

- Some khorne red at the bottom to light a bit.

- Some mephiston red at the bottom without recovering the khorne red layer

- sometimes i draw a thin light red line on the corner to create a sort of reflection.

- Than i pass a layer of gloss varnish and that's it !

I will try to do some youtube video with all the simple, really simple technics i use.

I hop to do start that on april !

Don't know if i m really clear there, school english !

Fantastic and inspiring work! Bravo!

Fantastic and inspiring work! Bravo!

Fantastic name. Northern goshawks rule! Well, they're not quite as cool as gyrfalcons, but cool nonetheless.

Wow just wow. That is some beautiful work.

Like the phantom effect in turning into a Star Field.

New Z95 !

I ve try a skull with tentacles , but it's hard and tricky with those damned GW pencils !

Second freehand for me, wooooo that's really not easy on small surfaces!

You are so crazy good, it's unbelievable.

Wonderful little Z-95! As always, good work from you.

Excellent work from start to finish! These are some of the best looking repaints and customizations I've seen. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.

So you put a light layer of Khorne red half way up the whole window. Hit the whole thing with the wash. Little more Khorne at the bottom 1/3? Followed by a bit of Mehpiston at the bottom? A video would be great. Going to attempt on a A wing because don't care if I have to strip it. Thanks again.

Great stuff, really inspiring. The highlighting and freehand are top notch!

Your Models are Hugely Inspiring, Excellent paint schemes and Attention to detail.

Thank you :D

All the best,

Barry.

Wow!!

Tous tes vaisseaux sont vraiment solides!

Beautiful! I love that new windshield color. Great work!

Did you strip the paint off them first?

Hi.

Since the wave 4 i don't strip the paint off. I just use thin layer and it do the job :)

So older waves: Yes. Newer waves (Post Wave 4): No.

Schweet. Thanks Sixwood.

I think they have change the varnish on the ships since the wave 4.

For example, even after a bath of 12 hours in "brake synthetic liquid" , the only result i get was the break up of the ship^^

I airbrush Vallejo Surface Primer over the ships right out of the box. The only real cleaning they need is to make sure they are free of dust or lint built up on top of or sometimes in the factory paint. Not an issue I've ever had with bare models before.

Also getting used to painting hard lines at this scale is quite tricky. Your stuff here looks amazing!

I have painting envy. Very sexy looking vessels, really well painted. Should be proud of your work, it is very inspiring.

New ship for my desert storm squadron !

Those TIE Fighters are ridiculously sexy.

"So, are we getting funds to repair our TIEs?"

"Nah, they're expecting us to be blown up anyway."

Your TIE repaints are crazy. I don't think I've ever seen a cooler squad put together. That's just stunning. How did you get that imperial symbol on the wings? Stencils? Freehand?
