Madeline of LightCraft's Miniature Repaint Thread

By LightCraftMiniatureStudios, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

It looks like a tumor that just kept growing.

It looks like a TIE that only worked out it's left arm.

What are y'all calling this ship from the Solo movie? I'm thinking the TIE "Heavy"

Cock-eyed TIE

This here is Yoda's ETA=2 Starfighter, and yes, it's to scale for X-Wing (that's an ffg post)

Um... That thing is really tiny! And is that R2? Awesome!

What's the difference? Sorry if it's so blatantly obvious, but I can't see it.

Larger missiles between the solar panels

I had SO MUCH FUN painting this commission!

I myself would never put pin-ups on my ships but I do have to admit when I opened your thread I let out a visceral grunt "Ugggh!!" They clean and vibrant . The color coordination is perfect. I will use your ships as inspiration when I get up the guts to paint mine.

That looks sweet! Can't wait for my 2 TIE Defender Elites!

Working on Ryder's derelict U-Wing from Star Wars rebels! (WIP)

I was hoping someone would try this!

nice job, very accurate! Now all you need to do is mount the hyperdrive from your Tie defender elite to it!

Yellow sucks all around. In my experience Tamiya brand paint sucks just a little less than Citadel brand...

Buy a tube of artists' quality Cadmium Yellow acrylic paint. Cadmium yellow is an opaque pigment and would work much better. Cadmium being toxic is I suppose why the miniature paints companies don't use it, and go with safer translucent yellow dye mixtures instead. (Same goes for Cadmium Red, a rich, very opaque red pigment.)

I just use artists' acrylics - the pigment choice is better and the paints have less water content - you can still thin them down as needed.

This may be the most ambition freehand project that I've completed - D.Va inspired Shadowcaster!

PSA for all U-Wing Pilots:

Your wings extend further than the pilots field of view while in flight mode, so be sure to pay attention to where your flying. Yes, having shortened wings may look cool, but do you really have to fly into a trench with the wing fully back to remove those parts?

(Seriously though, this is a pretty badass looking U-Wing...)

The small section reads "nerf this!!" and the larger "I play to win!"

OK. I thought the writing on the side was one word. :wacko:
