Gosrics X Wing models

By Gosric, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Ok. starting a thread to keep them all n one place. Opinion requested on the E Wing. Pic is newly arrived with base coat of primer and guns not attached. The detailing came out quite well in HDA. But i am wondering if i should enlarge it. The cockpit is the same size roughly as the X Wing but The E Wing itself looks much smaller, . It does have a shorter nose section and shorter wings but what do you think. Should i make it bigger?

I think it looks fine. The E is supposed to be more agile, so a being a bit smaller is easy for me to accept.

Yeah, but...where's it's guns? XD

Went through alll the fiddly 5&$&! Of resetting my password so I could log in on my phone (with my phone); just so I could respond to this.

No, it doesn't need to be bigger, it's eye candy. I dig it.

I expect a like for the tremendous effort I took in telling you that ;)

i havent attached them at the time of taking the pic. i made it with separate guns to aid in printability and to give the option of having either the daft cannon above the cockpit or a twin y wing style ion turret

Thank you. and ok, i rewarded your effort with a like *L*

Hey @Gosric, do you have any of your other models printed and painted? I got some of them a while back and painted them. If you want I can post the pick on here?

That would b great. i am working on t but it is slow. and m eyes are not what they once were so painting can be a challenge

I got three of your designs and love them a lot! I wouldn't mind if they were slightly larger though... but they are beautiful models indeed! Behold mine:

Well painting is a challenge for me too, but I do my best. I'll post some on anyway. Just everyone be aware my painting is not great. Just look at the great models not the average painting.

What resolution is that?

Here is @Gosric's IRD fighter. It is different than the "canon" version, but the "canon" version is total crap and this version is much better.

Thank you.. I tried to make the IRD closer to the description in the original book which sounded like an atmospheric TIE. Funnily enough one of my early ones looked almost exactly like the atmospheric TIE in Rogue one *L*. Those look good. better paiinting than i could do

Those look very good have contemplated making my E Wings larger. But since they are supposed to be more swift and agile the consensus is that they should be a bit smaller than the X Wing. But i havent 100% decided yet

Those E-Wings are absolutely stunning!

They are. I think im going to leave mine smaller as i dont want them to be any closer to the official ones. just a variant of the e wing for alternative use

Yeah, definitely leave them as is, they look spot on!

I have a Gunboat,an Avenger and two Z's of yours to paint - I'll post pictures when done!

cool. love to see them

More non canon. Old ships but im consolidating. First The Ravenheart. Corvan scout now smuggler and imperial killer

Ad something big. Sentinel class imperial corvette

What are the dimensions on the Sentinel Corvette, it looks awesome?

Thanks. It is about 11.8 inches long and 4.3 wide

Ok. I was messing around and this popped out. i find it to be ridiculous but then again uglies seem inexplicably popular y-wouldiflythis_zpsitzpibav.jpg

You forgot to slap a turret under the ball. ;)

Well. it is not finished. i was curious if there was any point in doing so before i completed it. I i was going to say that putting a turret under the ball was daft *L*. but the whole thing is daft and if there are no chin guns then theoretically the Y Wing turret could be placed there. Which would make this a pretty heavy hitter for an ugly
