I really wasn't in love with the fighters in this game [aesthetically] but my perspective changed after painting the X-Wings.

All four flights:

Engine color looks better in person, but you get the idea:

Bunch of straight-shooters with various astromech colors:

Ragtag rebels:

L-R, Biggs, Luke, and Wedge. Was careful to match each's specific paint scheme from the film:

Painting TIE fighters next! Thanks for looking.

I really admire your work! I have been thinking about painting my own armada model but I haven't found any tutorial that covers the best way to do this. I think I found the right brushes through Hobby Lobby, but would you mind explaining your process to an amateur like myself?
