What's the best way (paint, brushes, techniques) to customize X-Wing minis? I'm used to painting Warhammer models and don't know how well the techniques and supplies cross-over.

Ive used Delvin mud -- or what ever its new name is, to dirty up my tie fighters, looks ok.

Another club mate has used spray gun to put a nice blue to the rear of the Falcon.

Very Carefully?


Okay: something that might be helpful....

It all depends on what type of painting your wanting to do. Just want to make the red strip green? Mask the rest of the model and use whatever your comfortable with.

I would PM MajorTom regarding that. He has done some really high quality repaints.

Regular brush and paint has worked fine for me. I primed first, right over the original paint.
