Your x-wings look amazing!
I really like the details on the medical frigate, very nice. Keep up your work, everything gets better with a little practice
Ilove the Y-WIngs, and the Pelta too. Looks like GAR-ready
What colour(s) do you use for the basic bodywork of rebel fighters?
If you could express in Games Workshop colours that would be helpful as that’s my closest store
Many thanks & great work!

For all of them I apply 1-2 coats of Ceramite White (thinning slightly with water because the texture seems to be otherwise pretty poor for this particular color.) Nuln Oil once everything’s done. Gold Squadron didn’t take any gray; the oil was instead left off in certain places like the cockpit. Darker-hulled Y-wings used Administratum Gray as a base coat instead of white.
How did you do up the asteroids and debris? Been wanting to get some 3d obstacles but they're hard to find/expensive so this DIY with spare stands and ships/squads looks neat

Thanks! It takes about two stands per obstacle, 5/3 if you optimize: one for the base, one to be cut up. The cut up lengths of squadron stand are superglued as connectors to keep everything together. The asteroids are rocks covered in astrogranite; the debris fields use pieces from Metal Earth steel model kits, bent and painted. The actual sacrificial ships are slashed with a hot knife for laser fire or a poked with a soldering iron for torpedo hits, both highlighted in orange.

Edited by The JabbawookieThe Arquitens is amazing!
An experiment with a spare TIE Advanced and a staple (the cannons.) The paint job needs work, but I think the modifications have potential.
Edited by The JabbawookieAgreed, you may consider cutting down the wings a little .

Beautiful brush work as always! When it comes to your attempt to put off the inevitable...
Brave but foolish tactics my friend. You are secretly betting that the next wave will come out before you are forced to paint all those Vultures and Torrents. I sympathize, but it is the road to madness. Accept that those monotonous little pain-in-the-arses just need to be boxed up and shipped to @Drasnighta for a quality paint job.
Sorry Dras.

B-but- 7 stands are done! There's only... 33... more! They can be done by 8AM!
I can quit any time I want!
Oh hey, this isn't coffee. It's balsamic vinegar. How'd that happen?

Have you ever accidentally drunk your Paint Water instead of your Coffee?
Sure, everyone has.
Bet I'm one of the few who has, at that point in time, shrugged and just kept drinking.

Kinda. I had apparently been rinsing my brushes in my coffee without realizing for half an hour. Yes I finished the cup! I don't let good coffee go to waste!

I, too have indulged in the occasional paint latte.
Can’t let a project dry half-complete.
Can’t paint with a withdrawal headache.
What’s one to do? All great art requires sacrifice.
