Outer Atlantic Fleet

By Sixwood, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

That Defender looks vicious.

I was going to say the same thing. That is an evil-looking ship. I like it.

Your work is awesome. I have featured it on our Sci Fi Facebook page. Come on past to see it.

The Black Ocean is how I found this thread! Thanks!

Lots of great work, Sixwoods!

Hi all !

I apologizefor the late with my intention to do a vide tutorial ! I encounter some troubles with the camera ( it's not mine ! ), and my work don't let me enough time for the moment ( some clues are in the previous pages ^^ )

By the way i m working ont the wave 5 for the french regional in two weeks, i will post them soon :) My little desert squad will be up for this great day !

I ve done the red canopee of one of my bombers. The deset schem is different than the one i do now. This bomber is my first xwing repaint if i remember :)

How in the WORLD did you do THAT

Here is the desercimator :)

First try with pigments, i will try to use a less intense one next time, but it's really easy and cool to use !!!

First try with those kind of damage too. Next time i will try to do more realistics ones like marcossvf1'ones <3

hop you like it :)

I love those windows

I really like that Decimator! It's quite unlike any other Decimator I've ever seen and that just makes it even better! Somehow the colours you've used should somewhat clash with each other and yet they don't and that's a sign of excellence from the painter.

I hope you liked your first experiment with dry pigments. They do take some getting used to and to be fair, can be somewhat hard to use on this scale as they are traditionally used on plastic World War II tanks and vehicles, which tend to be quite a lot bigger. Still, it's another useful tool, and can achieve effects that are hard, and perhaps even impossible, to create with acrylics.

Hello Sixwood! Congratulations on your paintings ... are amazing!
I would like to know what colors you used in desert storm squadron? I'm falling in love with it.
Thank you!

PS: sorry for my english

Hello ! Thanks :)

For the desert color like the decimator i do like that :

Yellow glaze on all the mini ( without primer )

Then Agrax earthshade on all the mini.

Then dry brush with karak stone

And some highlight with ushtabi bone or karakstone + white .

Simple :)

Here my two other m3. As you can see, execpt for my tribal starviper, i try to paint all of my scums with a metal base :)

I will start with a simple t fighter or a ewing that i just finished to convert ( simple modification like the one i ve seen here last month )

Note that i m not a pro, i m painting for fun and with simple technics !

Hi Sixwood.

Congratulations for your works. I like your painting style and the original colour schemes (specially on headhunters).

Your "painting for fun" skills are very pro :) . Well done!

Holy crap. Just recently tried painting again, but after looking at those ties . . . I mean . . . I kind of hate you . . . you know for making me feel totally inadequate.

Please keep it up.

(side note: long time lurker on the forums, first time posting. Nice to meet y'all.)

(Whistle) Now tha's nice!

that looks amazing, love the yellow

While the modification is rather simple, it radically improves the look of the E-wing. Good job as always!

Another YT2400 with a really simple conversion.

I should have brought a poet.

But seriously very very nice I'm jealous I dream of doing the same but I can't even crayon between the lines. :(

That star though. Dang.

Your re-paints are looking as Fantastic as ever......and I like what you have done to the YT ! :D

All the best,

Barry.
