Aahz's Rebel Painting

By Aahz 1, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

Hi all - thought I'd share some painting stuff I've been doing (mostly) over the last few months. Special shout out to @Drasnighta for the super helpful guides. I really didn't start painting until about a year and half ago and those guides were awesome. Thanks bud!

X-Wings

I really don't like the sculpt for the X-Wing. Plus, they were the earliest things I painted. So, at the beginning of the quarantine, I soaked all of mine in Simple Green for a week or so, then scrubbed them and started over. I added some green stuff to make simple nosecones on the models. I think they turned out better than my first ones in any case. Here's Luke:

And Wedge:

I liked Mel's version of the T-70 sculpt still better, though, so I ordered some of those to play with:

However, these I am really happy with. I present some Star Wars Rebels Phoenix squadron A-Wings:

Added Tycho and Phoenix Squadron

B-Wings

So most of the B-Wings I did some time ago. However, I recently was watching the Rebels show and saw the prototype paint job on the B-Wing, so I decided to go back and redo the paint job on the B-Wing Aces (which I just finished).

I probably wouldn't have bothered with all these generics, but RitR actually can make use of these with the ally tokens...

E-Wings

Corran:

Z-95s (if I ever get to them)

YT-1300

Han was one of the first squadrons I painted (for those starting out, the irregular, larger squadrons are great to practice on before you jump into the smaller, regular squadrons (where you need to make 3 fighters look the same)):

I recently got the updated versions from @melminiatures , so here's Lando:

And because they are useful in RitR, here are some generics:

Here are Mart Mattin (Sato's Hammer) and Dash Rendar (Outrider):

Does he have guides other than the tie fighter one?

Great painting

Yes, there is one on Rebel ships and one on Rogues/Villains as well.

Where are they located, didn't see those?

Just keep scrolling down.

These all look great! I commend anyone who has the patience to paint these tiny, tiny spaceships.
