First time painting

By OneTrueKyosan, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Hey everyone, been interested in painting/customizing my models for awhile now. Just finished up my first paint job and would appreciate getting some constructive criticism!
I present to you, Shadow Squadron!

Really not bad for first time!

That is some sweet work. Did you decal the emblems? And did you repaint the whole model of the TIE Fighter?

Thanks! Was pretty nervous about messing around with it, but am happy it turned out well


As for the emblems I used vinyl stickers to make a stencil, covered up the rest of the model, and then spray-painted that sucker!

I didn't end up repainting the rest of the TIE, just put black base coat on the wings, the grey symbols, and the little black stripes in the crevice of the connectors. Didn't want to do too much on my first go and muck it up lol

Thank you very much! Was worried about messing up the models so I tried not to go too far with it this time around. Any suggestions/tips you could give are appreciated!

Thanks again for your feedback
