Surprised my 10 year old girl with a ship she had been eyeing. Of course I had to send it into the shop for a custom job.

Thanks to Ryan H for taking my concept about 5 steps beyond awesome.

A standard Viper and The Girls Monarch.

+1 For the girls who play or collect!

Oh, she plays alright. She went heads up against a Store Champ tonight. She lost, but she's not afraid to take on the big dogs and she's getting better every game. Hopefully a Regional will be close enough for her to attend.

Saw the title, thought "nah, it couldn't be" - but it is! And looks nice too.

That looks amazing... and I dont use that word lightly.. he did a great job on that...

nice job. well done.

and I read too much conspiray blogs. Monarch = mind-control.

And people though StarViper didn't look Star Wars-y before! lol
It's a very well-executed paint job. Hope she likes it!

Nice paintjob, gives it a solar sailer look!

LOVE that Monarch! Excellent work.

<...begins scheming to repaint a Starviper in a Venture Brothers' Monarch theme...)

Very pretty! That's the first Star Viper I've actually wanted.

Beautiful!

Fantastic color. Best of luck next time she plays the Champ. (He may need it)

Nice! Now for the rest of Lepidoptera Wing. Give her a whole flight to play with.

That is painfully awesome.

I can just imagine the little'n approaching the table, looking all cute and innocent, asking her opponent what that ship's name is .. and then cussing out him with the brutal linguistic bluntness of a sailor when those "funny rolly things" show the "pretty stars".

Afterwards running to your arms, players looking bewildered as you sweep her up and raise her in the air. She is clearly the most beloved person in your world and can never do wrong. A picture of sweetness and angelic perfection .. as she gives her defeated opponent the finger behind your back.

Nailed it!

I'm working on a Monarch battle butterfly myself.

I love how yours came out.

My daughter has just started playing 1v1 X-wing with me and I am shamelessly stealing your amazing idea, Kell.

Her starviper arrives today and its monarch re-paint is going straight to the top of my 'to paint' list.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow that is cool!!!

Will totally stand out on the table

Ok, I'll say it, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Awesome.

Looks great. Can't wait for the ladybug MA-3

Yep. The M3A already looks like a moth.

A ladybug M3A is genius!

The Monarch approves!

Now create 500 or so henchmen and a Death Star cocoon of some kind!
