Those are some sick checkers and I love when people do aurabesh instead of real world letters, puts the immersion a whole level higher.
The Concise/Collected Repaints Thread. Keep Them All Here, Keep Em Visible.
These look great!
So is the plan to swap these around with every list you build, or to buy enough of the for your entire collection?
I plan to swap them in and out. I have 1 set right now (3), but have another set of each faction on the way.
Enough for the entire collection would be way too many. I own at least 2 of everything (26 dials for just Rebels), and more of some things.
Plus, having one of these for each dial would increase storage space requirements, instead of decreasing. I was amazed at just how much storage space was saved when I took the dials apart.
I guess it would save a lot of space... 50%
Rebel dials painted. No reserved ones like I have for Soontir, yet. Working on Scum.
Did you prime the dials? or just paint straight on them?
If you did not prime, how is the paint holding up?
I am planning to paint mine, but expected I'd have to prime them.
Scum Faction now added jumpmaster
Ready yourselves! More Jumpmasters and G-1As incoming.
I freakin' love this wave.

I didn't prime them, like I did my Armada command dials, but I was painting the entirety of those, where these I wanted to leave some of the original color (plus not wanting to have the whole of the sides painted). I did seal them once done, just the tops and the top of the locking peg (two coats; one of Krylon Satin and one of Testor's Dullcoat.
So far no real problems, but I've only used my Imperials for our last tournament (4 rounds, no cut). But they held up for that at least so far.
Most of what I've painted on the Imperial and Rebel dials is recessed stuff anyways, so less likely to get rubbed/damaged. My Scum dials will be a better answer to that question, since I'm painting a fair amount of raised details on them.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!ROY FOCKER! PS9!
Where do you get the patience for all that razor sharp highlighting?
Well there are some AWESOME RE-PAINTS in this thread,
good to see some repaints of the new wave.....and looking really good !
here are some more of my conversions and repaints.
Wide Body Ywing with Z95 Escort....
Converted Star Fury.
Re-cut and positioned wings.
Two Modified HWK's
Wanted a Tired and scruffy looking ship, something between a FT-8 from Old Republic.
and a Klingon Bird of Prey.
This model I wanted to give it a more bird like appearance with the engines used as part of the
wing area.
All the best,
Barry
Polda, Barry... It's obscene how good these are. Well done!

And finally, the Scum dial:
Another rebel squadron commission complete.

Hello Guys.
A few more Modifications of my Scum fleet.
A Ywing with a wider body and heavy 360' turret and Z95 Wingman.
Star Viper with reshaped wings and a HWK 290 with a
bird like wing area.
They aren't finished yet. still have a bit of retouching and glossing the windows and engine glow.
I will post more photos soon.
Happy Easter,
all the best,
Barry.
As always, love your mods Barry. But that Star Viper is something else!!

What about adding the mandibles from the other Y-Wing mods to the wide body Y-Wing? These still look da bomb. And I love the under wing missiles.

And these are just way too cool for school.

Is it just me, or do others see a hint of an old sci-fi ship hidden in here. Lop off the wings or disc, whatever you want to all them, and add in some boxzy landing gear on the corners of whats left...

Thank you guys.
forum columns like this are great for sharing and seeing what everyone is up to and how creative
people are getting with there models.
perhaps we will also start to see others making more modification's
now that you can officially enter a modified model into tournament play......as long as you can still recognize what it is
Thanks again chaps.
all the best,
Barry.

This is probably the best this ship has ever looked anywhere. FFG modeling + your painting abilities made it happen!
Sick cloak effect on the G1A, too.

This is fantastic stuff. The ole' net as a mask is so good.I want them to release more flat ships just for this effect.
