Wes made it into my Regionals list, so he needed a slightly more aggressive ride

Cool! I wish I could paint like that.

I'm sorry, I have to ask.

Why does the X-Wing have the Y-Wing base and the Y-Wing have the X-Wing base?

Because I'm bad at not being bad. I was hoping that would slip under the radar.

I listed the steps I used in my repaints thread if you decide to give it a go. I'm a computer programmer who avoided any art classes like the plague, so if I can do it, you can too!

My red squadron, based on ANH; just a bunch of markings added to stock paint, since I really don't have enough skills to do a real repaint.

T-65 FIX NOW!

Now you're just showing off! :P

Hot dang!! :wub:

A couple new T-65 paint jobs. The one on the left is a stock paint with enhanced red accents. The grey and red one on the right is painted to match a Z-95 I did in the same colors.

Wedge complete with closed foils.

Wedge is sporting Flight Assist Astromech :)

Looks like Wedge's canopy has some cracked glass... I'm sure he put out that console fire. He's okay everyone--Nothing a little Bacta can't fix!

He went to his local Games Workshop and put some 'ardcoat on it, but alas, that stuff, isn't that great :)

How did you close the S-Foils? I just cut mine off and reglued, is that what you did?

I didn't cut them off, I sliced into the top of them with a scalpel and applied a bit of forced to bend them down. Then applied a bit of glue into the channel that doing that created :)

My current works in progress. The T-65 needs some touching up, I think. And they both need astromech detailing.

Good luck!

My first T-65 repaint. Not a full repaint, but one of my favorites.
