GML's repaint thread

By GML, in X-Wing

The first model I repainted was a TIE fighter, and that can be found here.

I did the rest of my models up over the past couple of days. Now, I didn't put my top effort into them because the tournament scene differs from Warhammer in that it doesn't appear to focus on painting results (that I can see). I just have something different from everybody else. And here are the results:

Spiffy! Love the color scheme.

Very nice, I like the gradation.

The red canopy glow looks superb!

Just finished repainting a TIE Phantom to be (de)cloaking

Wicked! How did you do the gradients and the cockpit effects?

The cockpit is actually rather easy. The gradients and cockpit are both done the same way; it's all just layers. I start with a base of Khorne Red (Citadel paint), and then add a drop of black at a time to get the darker shades, and drops of Evil Suns Scarlet to get the brighter shades until I am painting with pure Scarlet.

Takes a while, but I like the overall effect at the end.

Daaamn that looks mean as hell! Red/gold/black is such a nice scheme for that ship.

Wow that looks great! I am too scared to try repaints yet...

nice phasing work!

Firespray is 95% complete. The only thing I want to add to it is the engine glow. I did it as a different colour scheme from the rest of my Imperials because the pilots are not truly Imperial. So the unifying colour is the black/grey and the touch of red, but the blue is used to make it apparent that they are not true believers.
