Thanks for voting. I hope you guys enjoyed the defender. The tie breaker will now go to the scum fleet because Force Majeure was the first one to vote.
Fort Defender's repaints

Sorry for the late reply - looks like I missed the chance to vote. I would've voted for option #2.
RE the damage how-to, I used a nail stuck in a cork (so I could hold it) and a barbeque lighter to heat up the nail. Then start melting! It's certainly fun to do once you get over the initial "what am I about to do?" moment. There are plenty of youtube videos on the subject.
I'm looking forward to seeing your next paint job!
Thanks for sharing your awesome techique. You can still vote for next week if you would like to.
Nym's scum squadron won the voting.
I hope you enjoy these repaints.
Now for next week:
#5 yellow quadjumper
Or
#6 F/O striker
Quadjumper! That ship is a totally blank canvas with lots of potential.
I've painted my two already, but I think I may partially re-paint the second one; it's not working for me any more.
Sorry, have to go with Striker.
It's my favorite ship to
destroy
modify!
Do the Striker, did mine a while back - they look beautiful in FO colors.
Also yellow sucks to work with. Boo yellow.
Thanks for voting everyone. I hope you have enjoyed these repaints so far.
P.S. @ZealuxMyr Yellow doesn't look good on most ships but I was shocked at how the quadjumper turned out.

Oh, I have no doubt it'll look good. I just have yet to find a yellow paint that isn't a pain in the butt to work with - coverage, smooth coat, and thinability (*coin it*) have been a problem with every yellow paint I've ever worked with...100% the reason my mining guild TIEs (2) have been a WIP since January 2017...
The winner is the F/O striker.
Now for next week. It will actually be a voting tournament. A finale of repaints before the holidays. I will reveal the finalists next Monday but the winner will be in two weeks.
Royal Guard F/O squadron Vs. Painted maneuver dials
And
Yellow Quadjumper Vs. Red touch up y wing
Which dials will you be painting?
Y-Wing.
Poe's dial, the silver and black T-70's dial, and Wedge's dial. They all match the ship.
Royal Guard F/O.

+1
Thanks for voting everyone. The finalists are the:
Royal Guard F/O squadron
And
Y-wing
I will reveal the winner of the voting next week. In the mean time, if anyone can correctly guess the number of repaints I have done before the 25th, I will message them some unrevealed repaints I have done.
Royal Guard F/O.
26 repaints. Why? Lucky number.
On 8/30/2017 at 6:21 PM, Fort Defender said:The red panels were for more of a royal guard tie vibe. The yellow were because I wanted to test out the yellow paint on a ship to see how it worked. Once I started, I tried to make it look like a toxic symbol:
isn't this from Worms Armageddon?
Only in that worms armageddon used it because the various nuclear development authorities did.
Praetorian FO Squadron
Edit: I think there's 10 repaints.
Edited by Celestial LizardsHere is the winner:
Royal Guard F/O squadron
Btw, those are some close guesses!
P.S.(You can guess once a day)
In advance, Happy Force Friday. Enjoy TLJ everyone.
Edited by Fort Defender13 repaints
Another close guess.
As a hint: I only have 25 ships.
21?
16?
