I now that I have a solid number of squads painted, I thought I would start show some of them off. I usually do basic washes, but with these I actually tried to highlight a bit more with these E-wings. I am happy with the results, but hopefully with more practice I will get better! I will post more soon. Before too long I will try some ships as well, although that is much more daunting.

Nice job! I like the paint scheme, and especially the shade of blue you used.

Very Nice.

What paint, e.g. Manufacturer and Paint Name, did you use for the blue and red?

Yeah... I'm totally stealing that combo of colors on my last E Wing set I'm doing.

For blue I used P3's Cygnar blue and for red I used GW's evil sunz scarlet. At first I tried GW hoeth blue but it was way too bland. I really love how the Cygnar turned out.

I like em.

Very nice work on the E Wings.

I am a little worried the colors on the Ghost are a little too bright. With all the colors it seems almost clownish to me, but maybe that's just how the colors are! I might try to dull down the blue.

I'd say if you shaded down the colors and grey, it would take a great tone, leaving a highlight of the current colours.

I don't think it is the colors so much as the white that seems too bright. Still nice work though.

If you use a thinned black wash I should just dull done the colours but not too much.

Glaze, not wash, if you you want to do it that way, even coverage will be very important and the flow characteristics which make a wash will not provide that even coverage, which will endgame just make the ship look dirty (the whole basecoat/wash/done method is very sloppy, good only if you aren't trying to have it look crisp, and it looks like Tiberius may certainly be after crisp).

It has been a while, but hopefully in the summer I will be able to do a bit more painting.

I'm doing some work on Rogues and Villains, here are some of the rogues.

The dream is to one day have both of those Scurggs appear in an actual game.

Although they look good, scurgs aren't fashionable aside from Nym, who with toryn+bcc is devastating.

Yeah, so I have heard. But I do want to experiment with two scurrgs and Hera and have a gritty (literally) little task force.

Love that crisp painting style of yours.

very good squadrons, you make it look as if it was easy to do

Thank you very much for both of you kind words!

I think part of it is the camera doesn't catch all the little mistakes but thank you all the same. It's certainly what I strive for!

So here are some A-wings. I have a fourth squad, but I am too lazy for them at the moment. I think they will just be another generic when I get to it.

Hot dam*n those A wings look amazing!

I am jealous of the cleanliness of your lines...

I am terrible at free hand clean lines. I use tiny pieces of painters tape to get the sharp lines on the A-wings and E-wings. I used to try and it would always bleed, until I learned a nice trick. First you paint your base color, like white for the a-wings. Let it dry completely and then put your tape on where you want it (sometimes a very frustrating task) and then paint the base color again over the tape and open areas. Then let that dry. That forms a nice little barrier to prevent your actual color from bleeding. Then after that, paint the color you want (Dark red, for the generic A-wings for instance). Let that dry and then pull the tape off and you have (almost) perfectly clean lines. Also now that area is just a tiny bit raised from stuff around it for highlighting or shading.

I just finished my first actual ship and not squadron. I tried to based it on the CR90s from Rebels. The blue isn't quite right to match Rebels, but it matches my other squadrons. It took painting it to realize how lame the FFG paint job is, but I know they want cheap and simple for the core set.

Also I finished my last squad of A-wings. I guess it could be Phoenix Squadron, but again, not quite the same shade of blue.

nice done once again!! I'm looking forward to doing a few CR90s as well!

Here are my first imperials I've posted. Saber Squadron and Rhymer. Nothing too exciting!

Love the shading on those bomber fuselages.
