NEW PAINTER!!!!

By Darth Drago, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Thanks Barry!

I have one question for you though.

If I wanted to do a modification, where would I get the ordnance pods and such?

This is what I wanted my Mining Guild to look like.

Yours is pretty good. MacrossVF1 has been at it for a long time so he's super experienced & proficient.

It takes practice & time. You'll get there before you know it.

Sorry for the late post, I've been busy with other stuff. Anyway, yes that is indeed one of my ships and here is a link to how I painted it. I hope it helps! ;)

I know it's been awhile but....

Here is my first epic ship repaint.

I know it looks a little odd. I went for the "comic book" kind of paint. It's not completely down but I figured I'd post it anyways.

The Monarch Butterfly was a GR-75 transport used by the Rebellion and small smuggler groups to evade Imperial convoys. The ship's multicoloured paintjob was used to scramble sensors and confuse enemy fighters.

That's a crazy paint scheme!

I love it. Good work.

My only comment/suggestion is that maybe it should get a matte clear coat (a bit too shiny for my tastes) or possibly some weathering could be added.

It will definitely stand out on the mat.

Actually yeah. I was going to weather it. It's still not done.

Where can I get matte clear coat. The only thing I have is the clear spay paint from Home Depot. :P

That could work, if it's satin or matte.

I like Testors, but there are a lot of brands out there.

OK! Thanks. Checked what I use and I use Rust-Oleaum clear coat. So far so good!

Just a fine misting should do.

If you happen to use gloss, don't sweat it. Go over it again with the matte spray and it should fix it right up.

New ship. Old idea.

Those two should be together, but for some reason they won't......

So your Scurrg is going to look like a Nintendo controller?

....Is it not obvious?

Can't wait to see it!

Drago.. I completely agree, do this thing... like yesterday. Looking forward to it. :D

Good Work man

Just finished the Scurrg. Only thing I need to do is add engine glow and color! (Pictures coming soon. Can't find them......)

I like yours, they are not bad. I have to say that I always hate painting yellow, it always looks to bright to me. A friend of mine gave me some advice, which was to paint things yellow-brown, and then highlight with straight yellow. As this is supposed to create a dark / light tone combo that looks better to the eye than straight up yellow. I think this is what the gentleman who painted the mining guild tie-fighter you posted has done.

Welcome, and keep up the good work!

Sorry! Had two important things pop up these past days.

Here is the Scurrg!

And also, this was before Biggs got Nerfed. There was a running joke in our group that somebody should paint an X-Wing to look like a "sitting duck". So I did.

Looking good!

The T-65 in particular is nice.
