Showcase: VT-49 Decimator

By Force Majeure, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hidey ho, all. The showcase is back, but with me at the helm for the moment. I've seen a number of awesome Decimators in the painting & mods forum, but it is time to collect them together. Sadly this is a ship I don't have yet.

Post your customized ships here!

One of the beefiest large base ships available (12 hull + 4 shields), Primary Weapon turret, 3 crew and both torpedo and bomb slots, the Decimator is not an opponent to be taken lightly.

I need to get some glossy paint for the windows on my Deci before I post it here. Any recommendations?

Any brush on minis gloss would do - I used the Revell one.

Seeing as it is called a Decimator, I decided to weaponise mine with a nice fat turret and some torpedo launchers. I think the basic ship is quite ugly; it reminds me of a greyhound's head. I got rid of the long strip of windows, which serves to focus attention more on the front of the ship, and also makes it a bit more military-looking.

I love how you modified the command deck area to make it more of a hard target for Rebel scum. The attachments and paint scheme just flow together to form a completed model. Excellent work!

Hey thank you. This is actually my first attempt at modelling/conversion work since I stopped playing 40K about 25 years ago, and I'm pleased with the results too. I haven't bought many of the ships outside of those from the OT + Rogue One, but I really want to fly Oicunn in peoples' faces so I want him to look mean!

oh ****, that makes a whole lot of difference!

so simple, did you scrape off the window edges of just fill in?

Should have another, it's nice ship to paint.

I first cut down the window edges a little with a scalpel, and then finished off with fine sandpaper to get a smooth effect.

Just lit the Decimator. I just need to get some putty to seal up the gaps. This ship has many hull breaches and was not meant to seal light. jUs6D4E.jpg D3p0dFE.jpg LWpoPLK.jpg uhDiuGP.jpg vzkERW9.jpg okNXqIY.jpg

Have you thought of adding the 1/250 aircraft carrier people to this? I think that’s something not a lot of people do and on your lower lit windows I think that would make an excellent addition!

that is simply awesome. i hate how much the decimator model reminds me of the robocop dog from darkwing duck(i think?), and your model make makes it look like a real warmachine. its such an amazing ship but that vizor style windshield hurts me. good work!

Nice - looks like it's been flying around in a pretty hostile atmosphere!
