TIE interceptor repaint, gets his stripes!

By HolmesCC, in X-Wing

Hi everyone,

I had a crack at repainting one of my vanilla interceptors into an ace, with a squadron logo and kill markings. Let me know what you think!

looks very nice

Very good

WOW.

That squadron marker and those kill marks look awesome. Freehand?

Yep! I just picked a bomber I'm going to give a similar treatment, my worry was going over the top and having them too big, don't think I could have gone much smaller without losing the very rough shapes of the ywings, xwing and awings but I think it's worked out okay

Love the kill tally. Nice work!

Hels-Yas... now that IS some sweet work!

:wub:

You BAMF you!

:lol:

Very nice work. I hate doing fiddly freehand bits, but clearly, you've got the skill and patience. :)

+1 to the kill marks mate - awesomely done!

Not to gum up the forum with too many extra posts, given how easy this was to repaint the first, I've moved on to project two, a repaint of a TIE bomber. Not much to see here, just a washed and scrubbed model fresh from the box. I've altered my photo setup a bit, I think it's a bit better? I think grey is a bit clearer.

I've given it a thorough cleaning to remove any grease, I'll not be stripping this first, maybe in future but for the time being I haven't the setup for it.

Waaah! In the grey background the wings disappear! :P

Nicely done. Love the tally board!

Love the squadron and kill markings. I've been thinking about this treatment for my TIE Defenders for a while now, but I've never actually seen an example that I like because most people don't go into such small detail. Yours is awesome!
