How in the world did you paint that Shark Mouth Motif on it?

I didn't see this thread existed, but I am posting it here now!

My N'Dru Suhlak and Nashtah Pup (I did my best, ok? ;) ):

Z-95. Most of my Rebel repaints have a red theme. I really need to learn how to do washes.

My Z-95 squad. Not really a repaint, just some markings added to stock paint (and to hide Black Sun colors, for the 2 that came with the scum pack).

Hey everyone!

Some great repaints in this thread, so I thought I'd share some WIP shots of my N'Dru Suhlak. As soon as I saw the art on the ship card, I knew I had to reproduce it. I actually got into X-Wing so I didn't have to add to the huge backlog of minis that I need to paint, but sometimes I can't resist.......

Would be great to see some finer resolution pic's once it's finished.

My first X-Wing miniature repaint : a Z-95. The beginning for Purple Squadron.

Been getting into painting X-wing, used to paint for D&D but I'm finding I'm not too rusty. Here's a Z I did recently, meant to fly alongside a K-wing with a similar scheme. The little flecks on the nose aren't misplaced white paint--they're stainless steel wear marks that don't show through nicely when photographed :)

Another Z-95 repaint. I wanted a different black and white Z that could be either scum or rebel (I have six more with the stock black sun scheme - it’s one of my favorite FFG stock paint jobs).

That looks quite menacing!

So how to paint Andrew? Is it light grey, dark grey, or white?

Also, N'dru is kinda the Kath Scarlett of the Headhunters: the obligatory paintjob...

Up to you. I've seen light grey, dark grey, metallic, white. Yellow/gold for the accents. Dark maroon-y red or bright blood-red for the nose art. It's a rite of passage for X Wing painting, but how you interpret it is your call, there's no one right answer.

Well I'm busy now, and it's gonna be a bright red with 'stone' grey... I might make the nose a shade darker though.

When I'm done (an when I figure out how the heck I upload Pictures) I'll show it.

There's just something about the Z-95 which really lends itself to repaints
