Thanks!
The Concise/Collected Repaints Thread. Keep Them All Here, Keep Em Visible.
So I managed to get my Royal Guard Tie Interceptor finished.
I repainted the red, added darker grey details as opposed to white, did blue OSL ion thrusters instead of red for obvious reasons
, and added my usual green lasers.
This is what I used for a reference piece:
WIsh you hadn't shown me that reference I'm going to get twitchy about accuracy on my one now.
Meh, I'm happy just copying the FFG scheme in different colours, it'll do.
More Wave 8 finished, a S&V Heavy Fighter:
For fellow painters, I tried first time panel liners (an AK set, bought from a modeling expo holding a X-Wing tournament. **** marketing!). Neat stuff, but comes in quite large quantities for the purpose. I have to start painting something with a massive amount of paneling, maybe like 1:4 scale airplanes or likes

LOL!
It is good to hear that I am not the only one that has this issue!
Not to worry thought, even the art on FFG's Pilot cards for the Royal Guard Ties is not the same

What are panel liners? I found a store selling it, but not clear what it is? Some ink that goes into the crevices and highlights them?

Yes, more or less. Not unlike a wash or an ink, maybe a bit thicker and opaquer. At least the AK ones are enamel, I don't know if there are any other ranges available.
Quite easy to use, just apply with a small brush in the panel lines or other crevises. I used cotton swab to wipe out any spillovers and excess liner, and cleaned the paintjob where needed afterwards.
Somebody else made a better review.
Edited by NiinivaaraThat's pretty slick, thanks for the info on those panel liners. Good to know.
Decimator finished.
First re-paint still WIP but almost done. Wanted to do a deathrain/ FO paint scheme TIE Punisher.
Nice! I have one of those myself (although I took some inspiration from the TIE/sf and made the front of the ordnance pods red), still haven't gotten around to taking a picture of it.
I was excited to see the new Falcon model because I thought I'd screwed up my repaint of the original, and now I could go wild with it and just use the new Falcon.
Last night I sat down for one last long shot attempt to rescue my old Falcon's paint job... and it turned out far FAR better than I could possibly have hoped for!
Properly chuffed with this :-D
I made some pictures featuring my new asteroids and some repaints I hadn't posted, yet:

http://imgur.com/JILbvfA Some Scycks that have seen the table exactly once. I am ashamed!

Nothing fancy, but I still am happy with all of them after a bit of time. Full album (some additional angles): http://imgur.com/a/SDBP4
How do I put images directly into my post?
Edited by Admiral Deathrain1. Upload them somewhere like Photobucket
2. Get a direct link to the image (a URL to the image itself)

You know what I want to see? A First Order Raider. Has anyone done that and taken pictures?
I will be doing that soon
Will post pictures when I've done them
1. Upload them somewhere like Photobucket
2. Get a direct link to the image (a URL to the image itself)
3.
DISCLAIMER : Don't actually use Photobucket.
Ah, I have identified the problem: Imgur doesn't link the file itself and the forum software can't handle that. What are good hosters, then?
Edit: Nevermind that, its easy to get the actual file links from Imgur. It works!

Carnor Jax in my custom scheme. Eventually I will paint all my TIEs. Eventually.
(no I won't)
So, you're the Emperor. You rule the entire galaxy, more or less. Most important person alive, maybe most important person ever. Are you going to ride around in the same vanilla white Lambda taken by any podunk Admiral on his way to an exit interview with Vader? Of course not.
You're gonna bling it.
i keep thinking of the 40K Emperor's Children legion when i see your repaints.
The shuttle has confirmed it in my mind

And a Purple Deathrain
Give me time I'll get there eventually.
And a Purple Deathrain
...may or may not have to get that painted on one of my Punishers.
Then you'll need a crimson coloured Raider... Just not sure you'd call it "Little" in this scale though.
