Hounds Tooth

By bswaim, in X-Wing

This is the one from Mel. It's cool. I went with White, strong and Flex most because of the cost. It came out good. Then FFG deicided to put one out. So I guess I have 2. I didn't start painting it till after they said they were making one. This one is a little different then FFG's version.

I still need to put the final touches on the wings and engine, I ran out of nuln oil shader, But you get the picture.

Nice!

How does it compare in regards to size?

Thanks!

Mel makes everything in 1/270 scale so it's close to everything else. They haven't came out with the specs on the FFG model yet.

That looks great! Very nice paint work. I'm surprised you were able to get white strong and flexible to turn out so smoothly.

Looks great. I will be tempted to paint graphiti on mine, Like Bossk old hunk a junk attracts the young punks... wich then regret they did that to the dinosaur man!

I used 2 coats of krylon black primer then 2 orange/brown with primer. I was going to use future floor polish but couldn't find it the stores here. The paint filled in the 3d printer lines except on the back end of the engine. It doesn't show as it's on the bottom.

My Nashtah pup. I didn't like the Z-95 idea. I will use the card when it comes out but will use my custom for the model. It sets on a fighter sized base now. I used a MechWarrior heliocopter and cut and glued pieces of it to make it. Then used the same color as on the Hounds Tooth.

That thing is tiny, plump, and adorable. Reminds me of a plush toy X-wing, like this. http://images.superherostuff.com/image-plushstrwrsxwing-primary-watermark.jpg

"I'm getting the pig!" Quote from John Malkovich the movie REDS.

I just saw the picture in another thread of what it is suppose to look like and I'm not to far off. Take the wings off and add y-wing engine pods.
