Man, that 666 is mad! :o

While not technically a repaint what do you all think?

It looks great and would make an awesome objective marker (if anyone in the X-Wing world bothered to play narratively...grumble grumble) but that poor phantom :o

My CR-90 engines are done;

This was a pain. The masking reacted oddly to the spray in some areas and meant I had to re-do all of the ends of the engines, so now they are sort of grey. I also glued one of the engines on a bit wonky; not really noticeable to most people but it bothers to hell out of me. I have a real respect for whatever this plastic is because it is TOUGH!

Awesome stuff!

I can feel the heat from the engines radiating from the computer monitor!!!

How about a shot from further back?

Proper! I keep thinking I'll do similar with my phantom. I experimented with 3D cloaking lightning and ended up not liking it...and can't seem to fix it . yes I think replace and Smash the old one.

Those engines look sick.

WIP on my three MM A-wings,which I'm painting as a fantasy squadron,the Skysharks.

Lol! Perspective is everything.

I really like what you have done with your A Wings.

Red7 - There was not, that I could tell... The Paint tried to go a little goopy, and needed an actual scrub.. But it came off.

So I dropped my twice repainted A Wing into the rubbing alcohol...... and all of the repainted paint was off of the model in less than a minute!!!!

A-MA-ZING!

Thank you of the tip!

I am now well into the third repaint for my A-Wing! I think this is the one!!! :P

Haha those A-Wings are brilliant. They actually remind me of Mantas!

I'll post a better shot of the corvette when I'm next at home.

there you go, my Banzai Crashot TIE fighter prototype!!!

Wanted to make the YV-666 look less plain and boring. Here's my "Bloodhound":

Hmm. I fail to see a likeness to a carefully manicured miniature tree.

:P

The canopies. They make sweet sweet love to the optical organs in my face!

:wub:

Finally finished off the Skyshark Squadron and received my copy of Rebel Ace's through the post. Having now seen an official FFG A-Wing,I'm sad to report,that the MM A-Wings are far too big unfortunately.

Nice looking squad.

Are the MM A Wing s in the picture above?

Because the scale looks fine if so.

Are you going to paint the new A Wing to match the others?

A couple more:

Red 7,I would estimate that the MM models are around 30% bigger than the 'real' ones,which I suppose you could use as the prototype version without the missile rack and the MM ones as the full production run models.

I may line-in the panels on the Ace model,but I don't know yet if he'll receive a full repaint.
