Northen's stuff

By Northen, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I really like the airlocks on the deci!

Foce Majeure: Thanks!

Ailowynn: Never too late, thanks.

Managarmr: Glad you like them, I was happy too when I realized I could pick them out as a detail.

Latest update is two Arc-170s. Changed the color scheme a bit from the originals. Base color is quite close to the FFG ones, but went for blue and contrasting orange for the patterns/markings. For the pattern designs I tried all sorts of Rebelionish things, and I also wanted them to look kind like veteran markings/custom painting.

Some process pictures as well

First one, base colors with shades painted, on the right started sketching the patterns

Continued with sketching, and added some liquid mask for future chippings

Patterns painted and liquid mask removed.

Gloss varnish was painted and then on the left we can see oil wash applied. On the right excessive wash has wiped off leaving it only in panel seams and similar places. Some thinned down wash was left on flat surfaces o give them bit of shading and texture.

Really like the "lived in" look that you've got going here!

I just have the one ARC. Seeing these makes me want to pick up a second one.

Really nice stuff! I love your take on Bandit Sqn!

Thanks ZenMastaT

That's a great looking group. Excellent work on the details, and they look "lived in" like things from the Star Wars galaxy should!

Thanks Piscopas, I also agree that bit of wear and tear should show in the SW ships. Thou I also enjoy painting those effects a lot too.

I was admiring your firespray... how did you do the weathering?

What blue paint did you use?

Some Gorgeous repaints there,

Well done. :D

It has been a while since posting last time, but bit issues with hosting the pictures

But that does not mean I haven't done any models lately. Here's few of the updates

Holy Moses!

The VCX is SO good.

How do you do your chipped paint? With a sponge?

Your X-wings aren't anything to laugh at either. Beautiful work.
