Indeed we are! Is that a flamethrower? No...It's just a Firespray. I'll get a thread posted up soon.

Good Idea this......is there a way to make this a Sticky ?

As this will also disappear from the Forum !

Might be a good idea to ask a Moderator if they will attach this to the top of the Forum.

:D

Updated, and I sent a PM to one of the Moderators...I don't know if they can sticky this or not, but it would be awesome!

Bump to the top while we wait for a sticky.

So Piscopas,

What's next on the List ?

This is proving very popular :D

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it! I hope that people will continue to add to the threads even after we've moved on to other ships. I really want the showcases to be a resource for people looking for ideas. Also, it's really cool to see different people takes on the same craft.

As for the next ship, the Scum faction is needing some love, so we'll do the StarViper next. I'll get a thread up first thing in the morning!

It's always great to see things that can inspire others.

It's threads like this that inspired me to mod and paint my models when we had similar threads in the last version of the Painting and Modification Forum.

So it's good to see it revived again :D

Well done Piscopas.

Already looking forward to the next.

All the best,

Barry.

You should link back to this thread in each of your showcase threads!

Hey Piscopas.

Out of interest and intrigue :D

How do you go through picking which ship to show case.

Are you trying to even up each faction.....or what ever takes your fancy ?

Regards

Barry.

I am basically working through each wave, alternating factions. Since Scum isn't represented in the first few waves, I added one in from a later wave or used a ship that is dual-faction to keep it kind of even.

That said...Time for the next Showcase!

Good idea. I'll go back and add those.

Hey Piscopas.

Have you heard anything back yet from a Moderator about tacking this to the top of the Paint Forum.

Certainly would be a good idea and visual reference for everyone here :D

P.s.......

What's Next ? ^_^

You beat me to the punch. I actually had the next Showcase thread on my to-do list for today, but hadn't had a chance to post it yet!

As for sticky status for the index, I reached out to one of the mods, but I haven't heard anything back and it's been a while. Time to try another one. It's a shame we don't have very good mod presence on the X-wing forum. It seems to be mostly putting out fires.

Any chance we could have a HWK showcase?

No HWK for you!! :angry:

Kidding...

I used to hate the HWK, but it has really won me over. I really love it despite (in spite of?) it's bad dial, and 1 attack die.

I'm waiting for an e wing and k wing showcase!! Half way through mine now lol

I should have something ready for a T-70 showcase whenever it happens, :P maybe a Shadowcaster.

Can I also suggest a scratchbuilt/heavily modified/ugly showcase?

It's Fantastic that everyone is really getting into the Showcase section.

It was very popular on the Last Painting and Modification Forum a few years ago

But Might I make a little suggestion........." and I'm only Suggesting, Don't want to tread on anyone's toes :rolleyes: "

Great everyone is looking forward to a particular ship.

and that's part of wondering which Ship Piscopas will come up with in the next Showcase.

But might I suggest we leave it to Piscopas to decide, as he is the Thread Creator.

And we can all look forward to seeing which one He come's up with next :D

Its nice to have that Intrigue, I think He is managing to keep an even faction flow of things.

and its great to see someone taking the time and effort to do it for us on the Forum.

Well done Piscopas.

Looking forward to seeing which one you come up with next !

All the best,

Barry.

For the record, I'm totally happy with whatever showcases are picked, regardless of whether I've got something painted for them. I'm really enjoying them!

I wouldn't intentionally offend piscopas for the world. I just really enjoy his showcase threads, and I love HWKs. :)

This is a really cool idea, thanks for starting it up! Reckon there's room for 'showcase - unit' or similar? Might be a nice way for people to show off their squads as a whole.

Actually, just think how many Showcases there will be......wave 11 arrives soon.

There's a heck of a lot of ships to get through !

This is going to keep you busy for a long time Piscopas :D

Dangerously close to falling off of page one - can't let that happen :wub:
