Jaffamaster's repaints and modifications

By Jaffamaster, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Those Vulture Droids look really good.
I'd imagine their stats would be PS1, 2/4/2/0 with a cost of 8 squad points. The pilot card would say that a minimum of two Vulture's must be flown together in a list.

At least that's how I might play them.

Great work on Tron Rau!

I'd like to see the vultures as multiple ships on a single base, like in Armada.

Love the Tron Rau, great idea and well executed.

So if anyone has an extra blaster shaft, please let me know.

I'd like to see the vultures as multiple ships on a single base, like in Armada.

I was thinking about having them as an environmental trigger, like if you get too close to an item they activate - something like a bees nest. I have six more to paint so I'll have plenty of time to figure it out. I have been debating for my scratch build to have docking slots on it, and have them act like regular units.

Here is the last item for me to finish painting until pressing forward with the build: a Neimoidian Shuttle modified into a tanker or supply ship. I don't care for the cardboard pieces like the cargo containers or diplomatic shuttle so I went with this one. I'll buy large base and hopefully make an information tab for it, adding a bit of depth to the gameplay. I wish I bought the actual Republic Shuttle toy years ago, since I would have used that instead.

Looks Like you have been keeping busy !

More excellent re-paints.

Thanks Barry!

Is that Neimoidian Shuttle a Micro Machine? Great job on it by the way.

It would be a good "replacement" for the the Phantom from the Rebels show as they're now flying a modified one.

Those X-wings are impressive as well. Sorry about the missing blaster. My E-wing lost one and I can't bear to fly it in its current state. Isn't that ridiculous? That the least important part of the game, the ship model, would have such an impact.

Could you pull one from a spare Z-95? Maybe someone you know can print one for you.

I think it was part of a collectors pack I bought back at Target years ago from the Titanium Series, it's still on sale as Amazon if you're interested.

Yeah, it sucks about the blaster - I wish FFG would sell parts so I could get it from them, but I'm looking to make a replacement during the scratch-build.


That's about $144400. I'll take it!

Still looking for a laser cannon for that X-Wing? I have a spare parts bin, I'm positive there are several lasers in there... Let me know!

Yes I still am!! What types do you have in addition to the X-Wing one?

Several X Wing cannons and pieces, some Y-Wing pieces, and a top mount E-Wing Laser Cannon. Shoot me a PM about the X-Wing cannon, I can drop it in the mail and send it your way...

A new string of repaints are inbound!

Here is my newest Z-95! She has more of a slanted wing like a Corsair from WWII/Korea, as well as a single engine on each side with an intake on the bottom. It took awhile to do, but I feel the finished product is nice (especially with the dry pigment I used for the blaster marks). I also built a hyper-drive generator with the panels off with my attempt at star streaking for the effect of the Zed traveling at light speed. I'm still learning... Other than that error, she came out great!

Always loved the Zed. Maybe we'll see Z swarms in September!

So for awhile I was thinking that Imperial pilots have to go through flight school, and that they wouldn't start out with a fully loaded TIE. I modified this one without cannons, and removed the forward solar panels for increased visibility. The windows have a green shade to them ("that rookie is green") with the cockpit ball with training stripes.

Of course the veteran pilots (the instructor and chief instructor pilot) have fully loaded fighters but with a red tint to the main and upper canopy. All the fighters were striped, painted, and washed to added for a color scheme I'm considering doing all future TIE fighters in. Of course, I may need to invest in a photo setup to get the quality pictures I would like for you to see the detail.

The red cockpit theme was inspired by OtaKing77077's short film: 'TIE Fighter.' Its an excellent animation in classic the 1980s anime of high detail and shading. Link is below:

That is a possible solution, however, I contacted another modeler on the forum who offered to send me leftover blasters from the miniatures he modified. I'm just waiting for a response that he can still ship them to me. Thank you for the alternative solution @emsgoof !
