Semp's repaints

By Semperatis, in X-Wing

In general,I only tweak the standard paint jobs,though I do occasionally go that little bit further. So far,the only mods that I have done are the inclusion of turrets on my Y-Wings.

The 'Black Bull' YT-2400

Cool repaints! :)

Ok,so this one isn't a repaint gentlemen,but seeing as it's one of my favourite ships,(a Mel classic),,it deserves to be here too.

Let me introduce you to,'The Red Devil',a YV-929 Gamorrean freighter.

I love the turrets on the Y-Wings.

'Rhovanion'

Nice. I don't see the resemblance, though. ;)

Unfortunately Warrior,the decals didn't show up too well in the pics,they are that of a white horse on a green background.

Just a quick and simple repaint on an Interceptor.

That squad of Z-95's looks so sweet!

Nice work, especially the engine glow on the Y-wing. Very pretty.

Do you use Mel's stats for the YV-929? How does it play?

I've still to try it out unfortunately. I was thinking of fitting it out thus:- Dash;Recon;FCS;HLC;Prockets Cost:51pts or(48pts if I drop the rockets).

I'm not sure prockets are the best choice, since they're R1 only... I'd probably go with the ion pulse missile (same cost, but one less attack die), or concussion missiles (a point more, but R2-3).

True,but I was thinking of covering the null zone from the HLC,which is fwd firing only anyway.

I had to do a little bit of scratchbuilding this afternoon,in order to be able to 'fly' all three of my large ships. I only have two official bases,so I thought what the heck,lets build one.

I got out a sheet of 0,040" plastic card and cut it to size of the base card,then glued two pieces of square section tube to the sides of the sheet,reinforced with 0.015" strips to complete the basic shape. I then marked the positions of the 'nubs' on the baseplate and cut some slices of 3mm tube,which were then sliced in two,vertically,then glued in place.

For the support rod,I cut a length of 3mm square tube,which had one end cut into to form a triangular section,which fitted snugly into the base of the ship. I then found a short piece of 5mm square tube that the 3mm rod would just slot into and glued that onto the base plate. I glued two small slices of 5mm tube to two sides of the square tubing which would centre the base card,I then sprayed the whole base black.

In comparison with a regular base,there is no difference,dimension wise.
