My version of an Outer Rim Smuggler

By oneway, in X-Wing

thought I would post this up and see what you guys thought of it. If you happen to note there is no dish to this guy, it's because I replaced it with a sensor Dome, just to be different.

All done with Vallejo paints and citadel dullcote for a finish.

I have some other repaints I will drop in at some time, but thought this was a good first item to show.

Very nice! And quite unique from others I've seen!

Thanks, much appreciated.

Nice and dirty! I like it.

:)

I like it, I have been kicking around something similar if I get another YT. SOmething to standout some from the Falcon

I like how dirty it looks. How did you build the sensor dome?

thanks guys..

the sensor dome was really easy. I cleaned off the area and then glued a piece of card stock to the top (A punchout piece of the movement dial lol) I then used some putty to cover it and then painted it. then dullcoted it..

I can do a few mods now and again, and this was just so I had something that didn't look like the Falcon.. I like to be able to differentiate ships on the table. Hard to do sometimes without the numbers.

Really like the coloring, totally looks like something a smuggler would fly.

Definitely. I like it , Has a very 'outer rim' , on the raggedy edge feel

Nice looking!

The sensor dome from the old MPC Star Destroyer kit also fits nicely for this sort of use too.

Thanks.. if I had known about that dome I would have loved to use it.. lol.. heck if I find something I like better I may redo it.. but for now it's good enough for my needs..
I'm glad you guys like it.. I think for some of us we don't just do repaints for ourselves, but for others as well..

I'm terrible at this sort of thing, so I really enjoy seeing repaints and customs on these forums.

Nice muted colors. Schmutzigflieger!

I'd have used one of the domes from the Bismarck:

It's the thingie with the two cutouts on either side. The old Kitech 30cm model kit of the Bismarck is super cheap and has four of them.

Still, I love the paint job! :D

looks like what I would expect to see in the outer rim. great job!

If I remember correctly Han added the dish just after he won it from Lando.
