Showcase: B/SF-17 Bomber

By stuffedskullcat, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I've been having fun flying a Crimson Specialist with two T-70 Red Vets... fun theme list. The bomber looks great on an Epic stand!

It turns out the pot of Citadel Khorne Red I have fairly well matches the existing red on the bomber, so I added some markings, including a wing marking matching the vertical chassis marks. Add engine glow and some canopy glare, and there you go.

I started a BSF last night to match my recent Rebel themeing that I started with my Falcon and U-Wing.

I'm pretty unhappy with my paint jobs this go around tho. Couldn't hold a brush straight to save my life last night.

They look awesome, all the same.

I've noticed that if I'm painting late at night (after 10 pm) the quality of my work is much lower than the if I had done it during the day.

I really like the color scheme.

Sweet! Love the color choices.

thanks. I normally paint late at night from 9pm-midnight as I wind down after a long week, but I started this project on a Monday after a infuriating day at work... I think it's reflective. I want to strip this X-wing and restart.

Working on mine right now.

The wings are from one of those cheap, prepainted Revell easy kits, glued backwards.

Love the blue one- great job!

Gave the last one (few posts up) as a prize at our Nats, so naturally I have to make myself a new one:

That's looking awfully piratical. Some sort of Outer Rim Resistance Squadron going on there? Can't wait to see what colors it gets.

Wonderful job!

I have to ask - did you make the wings detachable? I did a smaller wingspan mod before but it has always been an absolute *** to transport. :D

Nope, absolutely forgot about that until it was finished! :D

This thing will have to have its own personal shoebox when I bring it to stuff...

I finally finished "The Pink Pig," my MG-100 StarFortress that fits into my Resistance "Rainbow Squadron". Not going for Power Rangers or Voltron with this squadron, but whatever. 😉

The decals say "EAT - ME" in Aurebesh in a couple of places.
