Kenner Blockade Runner - re-paint

By bulldoguk, in X-Wing

It's shame you do not post these projects at Battle Builders. Great work Mate!

:)

Is that the google thing Joe Boss? I couldn't work it out! <blush> Although in my defence I do have an attention span of about 7.2 seconds!

Yeah it's that model group you have been in since the first month I opened it... lol.

The same place where nobody knows you, but me, cause you are a big dope at computers.

:lol:

Tower HQ set done, we will probably be slotting this in with the next kickstarter (should be kicking of before the end of March) alongside the Asteroid Station and Space station

What will probably come with the HQ set (unpainted of course), everything is modular and can also be used alongside our existing tower sets

These are a few possibilities of what you can build with the base set!

With TWO base sets you can go crazy, it's like Sim-tower!

Why not combine X-wing with Rebel Assault and run a combined air/land battle!

Little work in process on some debris fields to match the tokens in the expansions, also 3-deed up the rest of the tokens such as the escape pod, shuttle and satellites, will probably sell these in a set to replace the original card sets :)

Little imagination is required but try and imagine the bases painted black with the debris picked out and painted and a large piece of debris with smaller pieces 'floating' around it, update soon as I find time to cast and paint!

I have made the bases themselves a little chunkier and man sized because I am sick of scrabbling around trying to pick up card tokens on a slippery vinyl surface just because I don't have lady nails, meh!

Oh Asteroid Base and Space Station KS is now live! Nearly forgot! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1186664051/asteroid-base-and-space-station

Very nice work; I like some of the stuff. The station and asteroid is really good. If only they came painted.

Oh, I know Ken, if I had a penny for every time someone has asked me. I plan on releasing some limited edition painted items 'sometime in the future', it's just trying to track down that slippery mistress called time and then disengaging my brain from 'let's make more stuff' mode that's the difficult bit!

Well let me know if that happens. Heck I don't even paint Imperial Assault...

Haven't had a minute to myself lately, especially not time to sit down and get some proper painting done but managed to put in a couple of hours to tickle the new stuff with the old hairy stick, few more scum to work from the Asteroid base!

Totally amazing work! I love that asteroid base, and the scum paint jobs really turned out well. Awesome.

Right, had a little time to assemble 3D replacements for the Xwing debris, shuttle, escape pod and satellite tokens. Also assembled the Armada debris and asteroid token replacements....now to find some time to splash a little paint on them!

Pod, shuttle and satellites

Oh, almost forgot, also made up a couple of beefier satellites to compliment the base!

3 weapon variants, double cannon, missile launcher and Ion cannon, interchangeable and the components allow a little freedom when assembling, might do a mine launcher too

Thanks Patox, never comfortable blowing my own trumpet :)Finished painting the Debris tokens btw, came out nice, I'm now tempted to make myself a bazillion of them for an epic confrontation!

Deathraven joins the ugly fleet! Angled the foils a little as I prefer the profile compared to the perpendicular look ;)

Your uglies are badass. I love the X-wing Ugly, and the new Deathraven is stunning. Your painting skills are super enviable. Great work!

What material are you sculpting your debris out of?

Very, very nice.

Excellent stuff!

It's just plain old plastacine Snipersnake

Designed some alternative turrets and a funky little escape pod 'thingy' to bolt on, should inspire some fun scenarios. Taken down the base to critical levels? those important personnel trying to escape in the pods? lets go get them! oh, hang on...what IF one of those suckers was booby trapped to explode...guess you better be careful! How about mixing with Imperial Assault? imagine your team of commandos fighting their way to the core, planting demo charges then having to make their way to the escape pods...all the while the space battle outside raging on!

Also figured Those scum are gonna want some nice juicy targets so I created this funky little Container barge. I magnetised it all up but if you have any of our container packs it would be fun to pin them with 3mm rods and use the 'floaters' to represent containers ripe for pick up once you have blown the coupling links. How about creating an epic space train with more than one kit!

Payday lads!

WHy not create your own uglies with one of those turrets, look at this cap ship killer! :P

Well, that's wave 7 finally done and out of the way. I decided to get a Z95 and paint it up as Boskk's escape ship the 'Nashtah pup' Mounted it underneath using a magnet and made some little hinges for the wings out of electrical tape so they fold away and can be deployed once launched

Amazing stuff! Truly inspirational. Specially like your uglies, big ships from scratch and your Nashtah pup folding solution. Thanks for sharing!

I love that Nashtah Pup! That is a really wonderful idea. I'm impressed the wings manage to stay folded even when it is held upside down.

I Absolutely LOVE that B wing FANTASTIC !

I was thing of doing something similar.....but I like the B wings to much to cut two up two make one....although I do cut a lot of my X wing miniatures

Very well done.

All the best,

Barry.

Even though I received one of the limited edition Raiders with personalised fingerprints and superglue frosting I still deemed it necessary for a quick repaint of the model!

Ps...I know the base is facing the wrong way...it was a long day!

Very nice indeed! It looks a lot better with the overall darker hue and differently shaded panels.
