Thought I'd post this one up here, as it's probably my best X-wing repaint to date. No introductions necessary, as there are tribes as yet untouched by civilisation to whom the words Millennium and Falcon are synonymous with awesome!










Any thoughts, comments, feedback or gallery votes more than welcome! Thanks for looking!

Nice. I mean, it's the falcon! Grimy and glorious.

That is one of the best examples of a repaint making grime look glorious I've ever seen! Well done sir!

That is sweet! Was it particularly difficult to repaint? I've got a few X wing models I'd quite like to redo

Thanks guys!

@HighMarshall: Not too hard at all. Most of my X-wing repaints have simply been laying down a wash to bring out the details, blocking out the panels, adding markings and then applying the 'special effects' in the form of weathering, engine effects ect. I had a great time doing them, so I definitely recommend giving it a shot!

That is a beautiful Hunk of Junk...

*Wipes a tear*

Oh damn, that's good!

Sweet sweet stuff Para. Photos came out great.

Glorious!
A greatly painted hunk of a junk indeed and I like the photos - adds a lot of feel.

So your painting a brown wash directly over the model as bought? You don't reprime it etc?

Thanks all!

Yep, first step is Vallejo Smoke Ink over the whole surface. Pretty much the whole thing does get new paint on it, but I find there's no point in re-priming to re-basecoat to re-paint.

so much awesomeness!!!!

Phwoar! What a gorgeous repaint a job very well done sir.

I wonder what the tv rection is on the space dish

That turned out great!

Yeah, great repaint on that hunk of junk. Tempted to lay some paint on my small collection if I can ever find the time.

Thanks guys!

Lovely work
