What colors are you using for the imperials, rebels. :)

Gott, if I knew this was what you were doing, I would have DEFINITELY chipped in a bit more to get painted Rebel squads back in our trade....

Seriously, this stuff looks excellent.

Heh, I just ordered an Imperial Cruiser from Mel so I can try my hand at painting an Imp ship before I get rid of those silly dark squares and fix my fleet. Makes the back of my eyeballs itch to look at them for very long.

Follow the link and we can talk hombre.

I'm not the best player...but gawd **** my stuff looks dope.

Gonna make some painting guides pretty soon, all will be revealed. Getting settled into a new apartment.

I've been mega sick over the past four days...but I clawed my way to the top of the pile of plastic and got some humble offerings for you all:

First up, we have the last 3 squadrons of Y-wings I intend to paint. I did one as the Jammer ace.

Next, I wasn't happy with that bright blue of the Tri-droids, so I muted the colors a little bit.

Next we have a ship I'll probably never use...the hounds tooth.

Now finally....the first taste of the Wave V goodness:

Hopefully the decimator and the Lambda will be done tomorrow.

excellent cleen work on those phantoms and defenders. Very Nice. Good Work :)

No idea how you get these tiny models to be so crisp and clean up close.

I pretty much just paint mine to look good at about a foot away lol

Those Tie panels are ridiculously crisp, good work Admiral Gotti

Why wouldn't you fly Boskk? He's really good.

Defenders look awesome. Did you use a white/grey base? You shamed me into trying to paint my next defender base, rather than just dry brushing.

I'm accepting commissions for 2017, but until then...here is the FIRST model I painted for 2017...the Ghost!

Gott, you gotta tell us how the hell you get your TIEs that crisp looking.

Very, very clean paint. Nice!

Nice job mate! Really crisp lines. What brush do you use for fine detail?

Gott, you gotta tell us how the hell you get your TIEs that crisp looking.

A steady hand and a good brush brotha...winsor and newton series 7 00...I live and die by it.

Oh and whilst we're on the subject of new hotness...some salvaged Republic Z95's in Alliance use.

Just an FYI folks, I'm getting mad inquires about commission work, if you're on the fence, get in now, PM for a complete price list.

98% hand 2% brush I'd wager.

I saw some cloaking Phantoms the other day and just had to do them for my Whisperer.

Even did some E-wings.
My commission schedule is starting to fill...if you're on the fence, time to jump into hyperspace!
First commission is coming out soon...

(p.s. Apologies for the obscure mid 90's UK comedy show reference, but yeah... really nice man :D )

Did you use an art pen on the E-Wings, or just a wash?

The Fast Show is not obscure.

I also echo the sentiment.

Got some new goodies, changed up the lighting to make things a bit less...wash out!

B-wing aces!

The Ghost...and Jammer!

So now brings me to this...I'm not sure if I like the paint job. Capital ships have NEVER been my strong suit and the idea was to put a starbird on the bow but the decals went south on me and it's kinda just naked here. I'm not sure how to improve this paint job tbh and I'm honestly open to suggestions.

Just a wash.

have you tried the cis ship in traditional blue? color warmth can sometimes totally change how the ship looks: he red might just be too loud: it segments the hull a bit when you dont want it to?
