Joe's Repaints and mods

By JoeVandal49, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Here's my photo-rig. It involves an empty milk jug, a sheet of white paper, a desk lamp and an iPhone. Does it take the best pictures in the world? Nope. Good enough to display my latest projects? Yep.

Nice jugs. Is that 2% or whole?

I think I've just been sexually harassed. Now I know how my wife feels after all of my phone calls!

Actually, I didn't want to deal with cleaning out a milk jug, so I bought one of those empty ones that you can use to put filtered/distilled water in.

First time magnetizing a base. Cool effect.

Sometimes small things make all the difference in the world. VI Bots are my go to competitive list, and these two ships and bases see heavy heavy play, so thought I would just keep it simple on this pair. A minor s foil mod on one, and magnets, then onto the table.

Looking good Joe! I wish I had a setup like yours.

Second ship to the start of this scum fleet finished. Just a simple update to the og scum y wing which already had a fitting color scheme. Just a little dirt, weathering, engine glow, graffiti, and Droid love. Base getting magnets today.

Looks like those ships got parked in an alley on the wrong side of Mos Espa. My kind of scum!

Oh, hey! Did you clip the starboard wing on the Houndstooth? Very easy to miss the first time around. Looks like there's damage from an asteroid. Gotta watch for those space rocks Joe.

Need to hire a new pilot!

Thanks for checking in Force!

I got some more goodies incoming, but am at a stand still waiting on mail for some supplies. Planning this to be a very large themed fleet.

Got some of these getting ready for paint...

Got a bunch of stuff in the mail today. Ships, decals, magnets, N scale cargo containers, etc. Ready to rock the Weekend!

Little sneak peak of what to come for this Fleet/Cartel.

Hooray...someone else rebelling against the monopoly of the Xizor Transport Systems odd-shaped containers :D ;)

Another ship complete. This one has a lot of details that i just cant pickup with the camera not even the bright red/green lights show. Gonna try to get a little photo setup like piscopas soon.

Anyways, here is the best pics i could get for now.

Love the graffiti on that container...been searching around for a way to generate Aurebesh graffiti, but so far have found truetype fonts for aurebesh, and for graffiti...but not any way to combine the two! :(

Yea i looked around with no real success. i just decided to fully embrace the train/shipping aesthetic with this cartel.

Why not go whole hog and convert a N-scale AC4400cw into a YV-666.

Another Aggressor added to the Cartel. Thanks for all your comments everyone!

Been dabbleing in painting some Imperial Assault minis.

Have also been working on a Slave 1 repaint. Graffiti is on, just gotta get the finishing touches done.

Should have more to share with everyone this weekend. Thanks to everyone that has viewed.

Missed this the other day, can't wait to see the results - got a Firespray waiting for modding a la Mr Harkers (although nowhere near as crazy :) ), and been looking for a suitable paint scheme :huh:

Thats cool freehand!

Thanks for sharing.

Have an order incoming that will hopefully boost my potential.

I have been out of the hobby aspect for about a decade, and am just getting back into it. Starting to acquire more bits, paints, tools etc, but its a process, as im sure you know! Right now my entire scum fleet has been done with two brushes, and less than a dozen colors of paint.
