Some of the repaints/retrims I've been up to:

Sorry, Rodent.. the HWK in blue just looked too good to leave alone. Still not holding a candle to ya. :3

...aaand the pictures kind of suck.. might get better ones when I get some better lighting conditions, and my proper camera.

Those green A's look amazing... And, not being a huge fan of the color yellow, I'm surprised how much I like the yellow A

Nice work!

And while we're on it... what about them is subpar?
Those look great.

couple of the folks on this form have me waay beat in the quality department. But thanks :3

Yes but mutants like Rodent Mastermind, Viceroy Bolda, Millenium Falsehood, and Zombie Hedgehog set the bar pretty **** high.

I suspect they aren't actually humans but escaped experiments, from the secret Lucasarts bio engineering labs.

My painting is subpar.. I got one Interceptor that I re-trimmed with a "Sharpie"
It doesn't look half as bad as you would expect, but yeah it still isn't something I'd field proudly.

It has a date with some "Simple Green" later this week.

Whoa. That blue/white/black HWK... That's... That's beautiful.

Thanks much.. That'd be the Jayhawk (left) and Blackhawk (right)

Wow, blue really befits the HWK-290!

Nice work overall.

I really like your A-Wings too, how did you do the black lining betwen the wihte panels on the green and blue ons. .. and how did you do the white?

Nicely done! I'm digging the Gold Squadron A-Wing and the Jayhawk. ^^

Blackhawk? That thing is totally Toucan Sam!

I don't see anything sub-par about any of those repaints. Nicely done!

You sir, have no right to call yourself sub-par!
These all look great. And that hawk is reminiscent of Toucan Sam

Edit: I guess the guy above me agrees.

Right??

And I don't mean that as an insult - it's a very well done paint job. I honestly thought you were shooting for tropical bird colors and that was the first thing that came to mind.

about a thousand times better than anything i can do. great job!

It's agreed. It's now the Toucan. Or 2CN-290 if you want the technical model.

I still think you did an awesome job on these.

I like it!
And again - not knocking it: excellent work! Just what the colors remind me of.

Bwahahaha

Follow my nose! to destruction!

Some more, Rogue squadron birds this time:

Agreed! I certainly was not insulting it, and apologizing if it came off that way! I think it's awesome. And those Rogue squadron ones you did? Fantastic.

Agreed - the Rogue ones are even sweeter.

A very very good attempt at them, you got the symbols in, the checks (those are not easy) and even the extra panel lines with chipping on the nose. I would be proud of them. Bet they look great on the table. I see you went with my version of Corran with the black nose cone and the red darts.

I think you missed the details on Tycho's Astromech, I believe it was black striped on white/silver (R2-D2 with black rather than blue). But I could only find one reference picture, he never named it, and it didn't appear much in the EU. But Whistler looks cool.

Thanks, man. That means a lot coming from you, and yeah, you were my inspiration on the chipped panels and such, it makes the fuselages of the x-wings look a lot less plain. It brings them to life. I'll probably be retouching and fixing little things here and there as time goes on.

see, I look at everyones repaints, and I'm all like, I'[m gonna do this....then I look at the size of the ships and I'm like ummm I'm not good enough to do it and have it look good, then when its done I have a ruined wing. I have Ideas on what I want to do, but not the skill to get it to half of anyones I've seen so far.

If you really don't want to ruin one of these, go buy a couple cheap, small figures for some other game (maybe army men) and practice. When you are more confident, then give it a try.
