Polda's humble efforts / I painted some ships...

By Polda, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

I still like that red combination with the turquoise blue. But dat bluey-greeny CR90's roight shoiny! I like it. Are you using them as titled or individual ships, breaking with the predominant red colour scheme? The engine glow is pretty effective too, was it just regular layering or was there a first coat glaze?



Hmm, interesting use with the umbrella lighting. I guess that would really do it, neat trick. I may have to try that, so many thanks!


The green Corvette is my Jaina's Light.

Hanging out away from the action, messin' with the activation order and stealing tokens and whatnot.

(I think I subconsciously made it brighter so we don't miss it while playing:D)

Hah, very nice. Yeah, I'd do somthing like that too, it's a great idea instead of having them all basically the same and relying on the number tokens.

Very nice, Polda. I'd love to see the engines on the Neb next time you've got the camera out!

I shed a single tear of joy.

Wave 2 finally arrived to Slovakia!

Quick and dirty Rogues and Villains:

Fantastic! Love the green Corvette.

Apparently Elite Imperial pilots no longer fly Interceptors or Defenders but overdesigned TIE fighters with way too many guns for a single pilot to operate effectively. But that's none of my business :)

This TIE has a cockpit built for TWO actually, so it's not just one dude doing everything.

Love the paint jobs on the TIEs, VSD and GSDs.

More beautiful stuff. Great work on everything.

I started working on the MC80. So far just a basecoat and a very light wash.

Next I will be adding some coloured panels similar to the FFG paintjob.

I am really liking the red rebel fleets. It is nice to see some alternate color schemes for the rebels. I hope the MC80 does not end up being too imperial-y with the red though.

Oh man, those CR90s are fantastic. Sure, they look different from the painting "meta" but who cares? This is the Rebellion, uniqueness is encouraged. The metallic flavor of the green one mixed with the "almost-but-not-quite" camo is my favorite.

Currently addding more little details before I move to battle damage and start edge highlighting.

After I'm done I recon I'll be seeing highlighted panels for a week.

All right! Let's ressurrect this bad boy.

Following are pictures already posted in the Armada community painting thread.

As the time goes on I will be adding newer work.

I still haven't even taken a picture of my triple Assault Frigates I painted last summer.

(Yes, I notices after the fact that it has two modifications! :D Don't... just don't.)

Ha! Found some pictures of the gups.

They are a darker variation of the MC30 scheme.

Thank you!

BTW: I'm working on getting this thread moved there.

Edit: wohoo, it's moved

I have finally resumed work on my MC80. For a ship that's been painted months ago, never varnished and then played in most games since it held up nicely :D

Slowly matching up the Liberty and Transportilla to my Home One.
Waiting for washes to dry is boring.

Progress has been made.

Interdictor WIP. Still need to finish some details on it and the Liberty before finishing Waves 3 and 4 by repainting the flotillas.
Sorry for the image grain, needed to pump up the ISO setting on my camera 'cause I'm too lazy to find the flash unit.
