Look at a repaint (instead of whining) thread

By stuffedskullcat, in X-Wing

Sorry. I was about to post in another exhausting thread about how "OMG FFG is teh devil because a for-profit company is holding my family at gunpoint and forcing me to buy teh ships", and I literally don't have the strength to click on another "fix the T-65" thread. So here's an alternative.

Rather than contribute to those threads bouncing back to the top of the queue with every earnest or snarky response, here's a YV-666 I modded and painted.

I miss seeing repaints and mods in this forum. I miss checking the forums for actual discussion and theory... I like coming here but the constant barrage of whining and negativity is exhausting. So, more threads with mods/repaints, please. More threads of fun discussion, please.

Anyway, I did this quite a while ago after getting my second YV. I cut off the bridge and modded it to the aft section, made a new bridge out of a pen cap and plasticard, mounted a cannon to the belly, remounted the wingtips to the tops, and cut some exposed panels on both sides revealing some "guts".

The mods radically change the look of the Triple 6. I think I like it better than the FFG version. Nicely done!

It reminds me of the Marines' ship from Aliens. I like it.

You know I never really like the YV-666 because it looked like a suitcase with wings. But this repaint has really made it look a whole lot better. Nicely done.

Ever noticed how a YV-666 looks like Rey's bike with fins?
