A guy whose never painted before paints some ships.

So, I've never painted anything since my 5th grade art class. At least, not until I started playing this game. We have a prototype A-wing, a non-canon Gamma squad bomber with the gamma symbol on it's wing, three red TIE's which need touch ups so I didn't bother posting close-ups of them, the classic bloodstripe squint, a blue squad B-wing, and my redo of the HWK. Because I thought brown and red was hideous.

Nice work! I especially like the red TIE Fighters.

Very nice. I almost finished my red TIE Fighter too, but I broke part of it and now it's in two pieces. Trying my best to fix it without success though. D:

Anyway, nice work. :3

I had a wing fall off of one of mine. Was a pain getting it reattached, but it's possible

Those red ties are interesting.. I have a unit I call Blood Hunters.. all done in red as well..

The A wing is nice too, the prototype paint scheme is one that should have been on the FFG models..

For someone who hasn't done much of this, you did a great job

If I may ask, what did you do to get your TIE back together? Crazy Glue didn't work too well for me, so I'm wondering what you could suggest.

I used Zap-a-gap.. a modeling "super glue" and I honestly can't tell which one I glued back on.. all my Interceptors get the same handling during a game, and it's never come off again..

I just used whatever brand of super glue I had in my desk. Really had to pour it on to get it to work though, and up close it can be noticed, but looks fine on the table

Those red TIE fighters look great!

Very nice! No one should be shy about taking a brush to personalise their ships ^,^

If you want.. take a little dulcote and touch up the shiny spots.. will hide your glue job..

Zap a gap is a really good glue, it also can be found in many LGS.. I've used it for years, and it holds with half the amount regular super glues boast.
