Navy Decimator

By Suriel, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

My new project. Still needs some work mostly smoothing out the edges.

Paint scheme is to honour the ORP Błyskawica, a Polish destroyer from WW2.

Very cool!

Cool theme and paint scheme!

Very nice. It could stand a wash though, to bring out the panel lines and give it a little more variation.

Aye, I was thinking about it. Not fully sure I want to do it though.

I like it as it is. So maybe compromise and do a super thin wash?

Will test on the bottom side. Either a black or dark blue (could be interesting) wash. Not sure I have other washes, didn't paint in ages.

It might be tricky, and somewhat painstaking, but I'd suggest:

* "black-lining" the white sections using the light grey colour;

* "black-lining" the light grey sections using the dark grey colour; and

* "black-lining" the rest using black.

Very Smart !

Reminds me of the Camouflage the Royal Navy and Us Navy used on there Fleets during the WWII.

That is excellent comparison. The camo I used is based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORP_Błyskawica
She was built by J. Samuel White, Cowes shipyards just prior to WW2. Current paint scheme is inspired by ones used during the war.
