The Summy, Dirty, Golden Squadron

By NilsTillander, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hei!

So I've got some white and gold paints on hand...so I've decided to have a Gold Squadron with my Scum ships, but I wasn't going to let them be shinny and clean, so they're dirty as ****!

I'm a noob painter, and the degree of carefulness is uneven in the series, but I wanted to share anyways!

Enjoy ;)

They look like they are battle worn. They don't need to look like they just came off the assembly line. Nice!

Any chance you have a group shot? They probably look pretty cool together!

I don't, but I will take one asap !

I love seeing moving wings on vipers. How do you separate them from the body without ruining the model?

Actually, no clue. Someone was selling a Starviper for cheap off eBay, and it happened to be modded...

You can pop the body halves apart with a little prying and some time in the freezer, then it's just a matter of rounding off the bars holding the wings together and sticking them back in.

Of course, I didn't know that when I did mine so I did it with a drill and brass rod instead.
