Finished all but one of the ties today....

Then worked on the vcx's minus hera....

More to follow....

Lookin clean! Love the uniformity on the TIEs, all facing the same direction in relation to the base, black bases & dials. You even went nuts & put blue/red on the slider!

That's a fine set of ships

I actually got the slider idea from @WGNF911 when I saw his.

Won't the paint get off from the sliders very quickly? That's my only concern that holds me back from painting them.

Sharpies. It'll seep into the cardboard, and I've yet to see it discolor. You only need to hit about 1/2" on both ends as the rest is hidden by the base.

This...

I make my sliders black, but in future I am going to use red and blue. It looks nice.

I use paint pens (avoid the sharpie brand) but I haven't tried Sharpie markers. I have yet to see any of the paint come off.

Your tiny spaceships look fine!

The force is strong with this one.

Try using whiteboard markers. The ink seeps into the cardboard but wipes clean off the printed parts... Means you can be as messy as you like but your sliders and base edges will always look neat!
