"Enhanced" Ghost and Phantom

By Pumpkyre, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I like to repaint all my X-Wing ships and consider Rebel ones to be better suited for some custom paint jobs. So when I got my VCX and tried Sabine Wren in Attack Shuttle (squishy, but a lot of fun), I decided to make it more "Sabine-like" as a form of reward to the ship. So I painted the Phantom by using any color available and any pattern I could imagine :D

After learning basics with airbrush, I moved on the Ghost and tried to find an answer to question "What it would look like if Hera took a week off and told Sabine to take care of the Ghost?" My estimation of the answer is below :)

Large "wing" and hull areas of the Ghost are undercoated by airbrush, as is the large chessboard behind the cockpit and PRU blue lines on one side. The rest is result of freehand painting and a lot of swearing.

Awesome! Can't wait to see some more from you!

Daaaaaamn, dude. How long did that take?

Beautiful.

Seriously beautiful paint job on that pair of ships. Very Sabine! Lots of creativity here.

Phenomenal.

Very original, thumbs up for these.

I can see some long hours spent painting these two, but the results are well worth it. Truly awesome.

Absolutely outstanding, Sabine would be so proud! :wub:

Thank you all very much :)

Daaaaaamn, dude. How long did that take?

Work on Ghost took roughly 26 hours in total over four days. Shuttle took around 6 hours.

Amazing, incredible freehand work on there!

As everyone had said.

Excellent work.

Superb execution on the free hand Painting of the Sabine inspired work.

Nice to also see a break from the norm and see a completely different take with the Ghost.

Great job.

All the best.

Sabine is completely out of control.

I adore this. Beyond the delightful choice of colors and titillating patterns, I die for your use of asymmetry. Absolutely brilliant! Keep up the amazing work!

Folks, we have a new contender for the crown!!

:wub:

I usually just come in these threads and look at the pics and leave but this one deserves a "Very nicely done." Top flight work.

Wow, da boyz would be proud!

Absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic repaint!!!

I love how it's even in theme as someone said "Sabine would be proud!"

Thanks for posting!

Beautiful. I had a Ghost list that I named "Boo" so I like seeing that.
