I have spent a great deal of time customizing every aspect of my x-wing collection, from repainting every last ship to replacing all tokens with acrylics, and creating a custom base for my Collectors fleet corvette (finished just a month before FFG announced theirs dammit lol!).

One thing I had a hard time sourcing was an Acrylic manufacturer. By and large I found the third party stuff lacking in design, so I set out to do something only slightly modified from FFG designs for my personal use.

I designed the EPS files myself, provided them to www.mechanicalwarhorse.com and they did the rest. The tokens are a bit smaller than intended but that is my fault, I wanted them a bit smaller but shrunk a bit too much! That being said, the detail is so fine on them that I actually quite like them in this mini format!

The finish and cutting is really well done, I am a picky bugger but am more than pleased with the results. 6 token designs, focus, evade, misc (yellow), shield and ion in cyan, cause I'm sorry but ion is blue

Also created some movement templates for the Corvette

Then the corvette and the large acrylic base for it -

And my Painting and Modelling blog here, though it covers a variety of projects most of the newer posts are all x-wing - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/432632.page

That should about do it, for those of you inclined to do a lot of DIY or looking for more durable options for this great game, give Carlos over at Mechanical Warhorse a shout.

Cheers!

That base for the corvette is exactly what I'm looking for. I'll have to give your guy a call.

I love those Shield tokens!

Nice work man.

Yeah has he considered adding a range of X-Wing stuff to his eBay store?

I checked this morning and he had nothing...yet?

These tokens were designed and created by me as EPS files, so technically they would not be his to sell, I hired them to manufacture only... some of the designs, like the ion, are very much based on the logo created by FFG so I am pretty sure it would be IP infringement to sell them. That being said, since I made them for personal use only there is no issue. Nor would it be for you guys to print things up for your own use.

The big bases though, for the record, were shockingly cheap, so for your custom ships etc, great option.

Was easy enough to create templates and cards for em too, plenty of resources running around for that -

Man, I'd love to be able to make up some of those tokens for my own game. I have a metric-ton of the licensed ones but they are so large and take up so much space in my limited storage box. I could really use some shrunken ones like you have displayed on this thread.
