Showcase: Raider-class Corvette

By Bullox, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Edit - Added stock photo.

Mostly stock with Imperial Blue accents. I did have to lighten up the base color of the solar panels since the blue veins weren't showing up on the darker stock panels.

Mine's not finished but will have an Inferno Sqd insignia on it.

I just bought a second Raider today (20% off, too!). Beautiful ship. I'm going to paint 3 TIEs with Inferno Squad stripes to go with it.

Newest addition to my Imperial strike force.

That FO Raider looks great. I may need to do that... I did find a cheap second one in the great 2.0 exodus.

Got it for 20€ on a 75% off sales at https://www.philibertnet.com Cards are in French, but they are also 1.0, so....

one of these flanked by a pair of Decimators would look good toghether...then again thats the point i'm sure lol

I finished up an LED mod a bit ago. I ended up using an Adafruit Feather M0 with some CircuitPython for engine effects.

The above should be an embedded animated gif, but I don't know if it's working. Link

Pics, code, and video of the effects here: OneDrive folder

Not sure how to embed video.

Edit: Fixed links and added a direct link to the animated gif.

How I did it (inspired by @Sorastro Death Trooper guide):

  1. Primed black
  2. Panels: solar arrays in Dead White, braces in Dark Sea Blue, dry brush a few details with a mix of Dark Sea Blue and Dead White
  3. Surface: Edges highlighted in Dark Sea Blue, details in Gunmetal, wash with Nuln Oil, dry brush with a mix of Dark Sea Blue and Dead White
  4. Bridge: Bloody Red, structure in Dark Sea Blue, washed with Orange Fluorescent
  5. Turrets: sides in Gunmetal, tip with white dot as undercoat for flourescent green (mixed from blue and yellow)
  6. Sprayed the whole model with Matt Varnish, applied some Gloss Varnish to bridge and engines

I hate these solar arrays, I don't have the patience to paint them uniform and with clear edges...
