So funny story actually. I had been wanting to do a repaint on my '90 just so that our play group didn't all have the same blessed one. Didn't want to do anything too fancy and hide the already high quality factory paintjob. So I searched around alternate color schemes online and found pics of CR-70's that had blue paint schemes. Thought okay yeah I'll do that. Then looking over it thought y'know, there's too many free hand lines, it's a little busy, a lot of extra work, I'll just do the recolor on the red to blue, color the engines, add some laser blaster damage. Had a little backstory in my head that it was an old ship used from before the beginning of the rebel alliance to harass the Empire. Can't tell you how far my jaw dropped when I saw my CR-90 fly across the screen in the S1 Finale. I recolored the red, and nuln oiled the areas that needed more definition, and colored in engine glow(not seen, dur ). I'll post a thread later with more pics. Want to get a bit of a setup for decent photos. (PIC)
Love the look of this. What color blue did you use?
Altdorf Guard Blue, By Citadel. To get a good under coat for it took two layers, one Ceramite White, one White Scar. Then two Coats of the blue both kinda thin. Probably was a better way of doing it but oh well. And honestly it looks darker then the pics iv'e posted in reality . Don't know why. I could have used a shade lighter but by the time I realized it was to late to bother correcting. I'm still VERY amateur at this stuff. :I Damage scoring was done using a couple stripes of Nuln Oil then adding a couple stripes of Abbadon Black in a starburst. Any other questions I'll try and answer. Heres a glamour shot. And heres the Album I took of it: http://imgur.com/a/yNPLZ#0 (The third image is a transparent plastic plate I use for palletes that when I want to see what something would look like on a model I can just hold it up and get a rough idea. This was a rough mock up of what a Rebel Pheonix might look like on the forward dorsal section.)
