Rogue Squadron Project

By Stryker359, in X-Wing

Hi guys! I know I've already posted a thread known as "Shadow Squadron", but I got bored with them and decided to do a repaint. I do intend to run a campaign using all twelve X-Wings, but here are the first four (incidentally the four I already had :P )
SPOILER ALERT!:
If you haven't got to X-Wing: The Bacta War yet, turn back now!
Rogue Leader - Wedge

Rogue Seven - Tycho

Rogue Nine - Corran

They're still WIP, I need to neaten up the trim on Corran's X-Wing and the checks on Wedge's may need to be smaller, but I have to dig my magnifier from the loft before I do that!
Any and all comments are appreciated, thank you!

Try a sharpie paint pen. They come in different tips and work amazing. Less time cleaner results.

Wow; really amazing, Did you plan to paint the allk Squadron???, it's a good project, I want to see finished, please keep us updated about new ships, greettings.

Yes, I'll be doing all twelve, a handful of Tal'dira's Chir'darki (count as TIE Interceptors) and the three Gand Bombers as and when cash and model availability allows.

where do you get the reference pictures? I want to make rogue squadron from the actual comic…but they change colors and I cant find more.

Wow, Good luck with the project, and plase put the pictures, It's really awesome your job, congratulations, greettings.

I got another three last night, am deciding who to do next. :)

Just five more to go, when my LGS gets some in stock!

In the comics, the Rogue Squadron pilots fly generic X-Wings, the only real difference between them is the Squadron Markings (red dashes indicating number behind the trim on the S-Foils).

Some of them have unique markings. Wedge is one of the few who blows their x wing a lot. They have yellow markings, red markings, the roque number and other tiny stuff. Loving the paintjobs here.

PM me your email address and I'll send you my reference images.

Quick update guys, three more X-Wings! Only five to go!

Rogue Two - Asyr

Wow, wonderful too, it's an amazing project, you have now seven ships, good luck, greettings.

Those are incredible! What a great series of books. I was just thinking that a great expansion set would be to give us pilot cards for a group like Rogue Squadron. Wraith Squadron would be a fun mix too.

As this is for a campaign I'm writing, there will be Rogue Squadron pilot cards (all unique), as well as cards for former-Imperial pilots and THDC pilots :)

And I'm done! All eleven X-Wings complete!

Rogue Four - Riv

I know they aren't perfect, and they aren't the best paintjobs on the internet, but they were fun to do, and I'm really happy with how they come out. They're going to look AWESOME all together, I can tell! :D

Squadron group pic!

I really want to see Ooryl's under UV light.

And to finish this project off, some group shots! Big thanks to everyone who's viewed these posts, offered advice and critique, and generally been awesome!

Excellent work. I hope that there is a Rogue Squadron expansion deck from FFG later on.
