Hi all! Finally had the drive to paint the first Firespray I ever purchased, right when the wave was released and before I was even playing. Since then, I've acquired three more F-31s, repainted two of those, with plans to repaint the last as Boba.
Right when I got this one, I immediately started cutting it apart, initially messed up the canopy by carving into it intending to fill it with a grid of support beams, and adding components from carved-up bits from Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars miniature line: the lower fins are from the WotC Slave 1, the cockpit is from an Eta-2, with other bits and some (very sloppy) plasticard.
I imagine the pilot just wanting to bulk up the cockpit of the ship to reduce vulnerability (not as much transparisteel to shoot at), add armor, and give it a slightly distinguished profile. The guns are roughly the same size, but are in fact metal guns from some other set, possibly Reaper.
Just glad I finally painted it, and I can take it off the workbench and onto the table!
