Post pictures of your custom Decimators

By Rinzler in a Tie, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I'm going to be painting my Decimator but cannot decide on a worthy scheme.

I've Google'd custom Decimators and have some ideas, but I am asking the community to pool their customs so I can make an intelligent choice (I will only every have one Decimator, so I have to paint correctly the first time).

Here are some of my favorites:

I like #1 & 2. Having some kind of contrasting colors or light & dark colors always gives visual interest.

HOWEVER... this doesn't have to be the only time you paint the ship. If you aren't happy with it after a while, you can always add to it, strip it or even mod it.

Good luck, and don't forget to post your results!

I've been nervous to strip any of my ships - but I will definitely post the results in my sleepy thread of repaints .

I would love to see some ideas for a First-Order themed Decimator.

Does anyone have specific brands/colors that I can buy to match the blue-ish color of the Tie Advanced that comes with the Imperial Raider?

Here's a link to a YT-2400 that I think you can use for inspiration.

I tried linking this picture! But it came out soooo big.

Alright. Definitely painting it charcoal/gun-metal color. I may even deviate from my $.99 acrylics for some quality colors..

That's really cool!

Do you have any plans to paint the added wings?

Has anyone seen the Decimator with the A-Wing impaled on its wing? Trying to find that and give it credit for just being awesome...

I saw it at UKTC yesterday.

It's neat, but I don't have photos :(

Are those LED engines, or just very well-done engine glow?

I think that greys, blacks and reds are most classy for decimators. I really like that simple repaint with two red stripes, once even did very similar paint job (but with black accents) and it turned out great with small amount of work.

I really want to add panels to mine, as well, but I'll be lucky to get time to finish the paint job - so make sure you post pics!!

@BlueFrog: Those are some really, really cool Decimators. Well done madam, you have Jedi level talent with the paints!
