Harker's REBELS Re-Paints & Conversions

By Barry Harker, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

With the Return of the Paint Forum, I can Put each faction into there own section.

Some of these Models are in my Weathering with Pencils Column

https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/190091-weathering-with-pencilsdirt-streaks-grime-rust-blaster-burns/

But then for me,

That Method works well on the Rebel ships as the FFG Paint jobs on most of the models are already really good.

in some cases they just need that little extra....Dirt and Grime.

Luke, Wedge and Red Leader with Pencil weathering and block shading.

Really like the color combos you come up with and the paint jobs are beautiful! How did you do the B with folded wings?

y-wing seriously look mean with the wings/front "fang" like edges.

love the Y wing, not so much a fan of the B wing with the folded wings and lipstick blob engine glow.. guessing that is one of your first mods judging from the quality of your other work??

Love your work Barry, as always. Especially love your Y-Wings. ;)

Thanks Stoneface, Battle Fleet Gothic ships have mast's or antennas on the weapon sprue's

I used those once I cut the wings off to but up against the joining edge, gives it an open mechanical folding mechanism look.

as the mast pieces from BFG have lots of fine detail on them.

Love your work Barry, as always. Especially love your Y-Wings. ;)

I have seen others starting to add wings to the Ywings, but I like the idea of the modern aircraft look of adding "Canards" front wings to the Ywings

to help even out the model cheers guys.

HA HA na it was just a rush job to get it on the Table for an Epic game.......I needed four Bwings, and this one was in bits at the time.

and your right......the rear nacelle engine glow does look naff !

like lipstick :P

Im going to add some very small plastic Crystals into the nacelle, they will pick up the light like my scum ships.

all the best guys.

Another Model Using Pencils.

The Ghost.

you can see the difference between the standard ffg finish, add just adding some extra shading and grime with pencils.

And because the Stand is terrible on this model.

I drilled out the bottom, put in a support tube

after pulling the two half's apart.....

And added cargo pods where the stand use to go....

Love those cargo pods! Are they scratchbuilt, or using scavenged kit parts ? - If so, can you say where from, as the best I've found so far are N-gauge 20ft containers.

Cheers

Hi Ian,

The red container is from a Academy 1/35th A.V.F miniature accessories, Tank Supplies set.

Food container, and the other two are scratch built..........
