Rhyn's Rugged Repaints and Rough Ups

By IAmRhyn, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I've put some finishing touches on my Imperial Shuttle and the Jumpmaster, should I update the initial posts or add new posts?

I call this the HellKat. I mentioned earlier that a WWII Navy look would be great on a K-wing, here it is!

In anticipation of my summer in Seattle, I whipped up an Evergreen Squadron A-wing!

Beware: the Seattle Freeze is real.

Now that paintjob has inspired me to do a proper Cascadian colored A-Wing.

Here is the finished JumpShotBarrage 5000:

I've really fallen in love with the Citadel "Spiritstone Red", "Soulstone Blue", and "Waystone Green" paints. They give a great glowing affect that doesn't really show through in these pictures. The red lights along the rim glow in a really intimidating way on the table, and the engine block gives off a subtle green glow.

Here is the finished shuttle. Not much has changed, I washed whole thing lightly with super thin light gray to make the details pop, and added the green and Eshin Gray.

The inspiration for this shuttle was this:

When I realized I wasn't that good, I added the green and blue-gray. I'm still thinking about slapping some painter's tape on it and making the designs a bit more intricate. I'm not fully satisfied with it as is.

Kieransi's question

All of these are awesome! I really like how the blue looks on the K-Wing. I might be tempted to do a similar thing myself now.

Was there a specific inspiration for the paint scheme on the shuttle? I actually really love the kind of unsaturated orange, dark blue, and forest green on the black background.

My take on Sunny Bounder:

Looking good!

The imperial dial upgrade kit is rather bland, and Kylo deserves better what with the sheer amount of time I've had him on the table.

You have done well, Lord Rhyn. You have taken the teachings of your masters and applied them accordingly. In time, they will call you: Master.

Whoaaa! Too much ROTJ there, haha. Anywho, great job man! I look forward to seeing more of what you do.

I'm back with my Vaksai:

Diet Soontir! I found a really nice repaint on google and stole it. The base grey has been redone because FFG likes to dunk the models in weird black goop instead of a proper wash, and it was triggering me.

Back with my favorite ship, now ready to fly with Omega Leader and the Oopsilon! I downgraded my phone recently, and have had to find a new camera. Also please ignore the frost giant uprising; the First Order has the situation well in hand.

I really like the way the bloodstripe seeped under the masking tape. It looks like a bloodstripe.

The grey border around the canopy glass is probably the cleanest detailing I've ever done. I don't know how I did it but I did.

I'm painting a dumpster fire for a Krayt bounty.

I've added an index to the first post that should allow easy navigation. Let me know how it works (PM me please.)

I've noticed that some of my index links are wrong. I'll fix that ASAP.

If you want to mimic actual flames, you can use hot glue. Try it out on some scrap first.

It should be self explanatory on how to do it, but just in case: squirt a small dollop of glue on the surface and then you want to stick the tip of the glue gun into it and swirl it and pull away from it slowly so the glue stretches. Hold the thing you're gluing upside down, so when you pull away, you're pulling down towards the ground. Does that make sense?

To paint, lay down yellow, then after it dries, some orange, and finally "highlight" in red.

You may want to check out some you tube vids for inspiration. Here's one I like. And here is another.

Whoops. I didn't notice the date on your post about the flames was from April.
