Repaints by apoapsis

By apoapsis, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I've been painting my X-Wing for a while now and haven't posted many of them on the forums so I figured I'd make a thread.

I've mostly been painting Republic and Separatists over the past year, but I play a bit of everything so I'll start with a bunch I already have photos of. There's many more pictures here.

First up, Separatists!

I am aware these guys are on the wrong bases - the rest are packed away :(

Still got a LAAT, a Y-wing and another couple of torrents to paint for these guys.

Those are some smooth paint jobs.

:wub:

Now these are nice! The neon colored separatists in particular are really eye catching.

@apoapsis Your cockpit glass is superb. Can you do a quick write up on your process?

Thanks!

For rounded cockpits it's hand blended/layered from almost black up to the lightest colour. I didn't use wet blending but did mix colours. The cockpits are then varnished with 2-3 layers of watered down gloss varnish (in this case Ardcoat by GW) to give the shine.

This is some sweet work...
