By Polda, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Nicely done! That's a great little squadron.

Very cool.

Your paint stand. Is that made from foamboard?

Yes, 5mm foamboard, bunch of pins, hot glue gun and no plans.

That sinister look isn't normally my sort of thing, but I'm in love with that squad. The skull compliments the shape of the A-Wing really well, and the horns give a distinct look to the X-Wings (and that's not even going into the perfect paint job). That HWK also gives me ideas.

Great theme you've got going.

That A-wing pilot has a big ol' blind spot to his port. Make sure you deploy it on the left side of the mat!

I don't usually like mods too much, prefer straight repaints, but I do like the post-apocalyptic theme!

I'm back from my Legion exile! :D

Where do you get your turret indicators from?

I've been looking for something better and really love yours!

Curled Paw on etsy. The set includes the plastic from the inside of the indicator as tokens with numbers you can put on your cards and red lock tokens with matching letter, number or aurebesh icon.

Thank you!

I looked them up, and now they may magically end up at my doorstep at some point. 😉

I was going to say that I loved the heavy A-wings, and then....WOW, that cloaking infiltrator!!!!!!!

@Polda

Out of curiosity, what method do you use to make the stars?

White spraypaint held close to the model but aimed up above it. Press the trigger for a fraction of a second and it'll rain dropplets of paint. Try it over a piece of black paper first.

A few notes on what didn't work:
> A gold with red pannels scheme for the interceptor - it's a prize for our local league so I figured golden interceptor but it did not look right to me if it's also supposed to be playable.

> Similar transition as above but red on the bottom with light gray/white on top. It felt like an unpainted model with a red LED on the bottom.


In future I'll try to include the tests and mistakes in photo form.
