Adding some extra details.

By Wes Janson, in X-Wing

Hey all,

has anyone else decided to repaint or add detail to their miniatures? I took a crack at Red 5 (Luke's X-wing) tonight and it turned out nice with minimal effort.

When I get my add on packs in the mail I will do up Red 2 & 3 as well. Anyway I will post the other guys as I get them done.

This looks great! This is the first repaint I have seen for this game. How would you feel about posting your repaints to my new X-wing Miniatures forum? Take a look and let me know what you think. We just started and we're trying to get as much content as possible.

Thanks,

That looks really good! What did you use to paint the number markings on the wings? Brush? Pin? Toothpick? Something else?

I like it. Would be nice to see the yellow though. Have you thought about taking the pic with a different background? Maybe that would help? IDK

You should post that over on the AFM Boards. Wes has his X-wing repaint there and I know a few others will be posting their repaints there too. Click the link in my signature. Hope to see you there!

Deniper, what are you using for flight stands? Are those bamboo skewers painted black?

The background of your photo is always important. Make sure your camera is set to daylight flash, and your depth of field is on its highest.
