that stand looks as if it was meant for a globe? its was sturdier and i think that is a detail that makes playability better for that piece...

What is the stand from? It looks pretty good.

And it appears Vik is now a ninja

ronin....maybe, never an assassin...

Cool asteroid bro.

Looks like a fun project to use up junk. Its amazing what you can make look like a space station. I think the printer carts look fine, you are probably just too familiar with them. I haven't used a printer for years so they look just like a space station to me.

Thanks pet. I need them to still look like cartridges though, that's part of the contest much junk fun was had though, regardless.

Also, because we don't like to play favourites :

ds9 logo is still on it. Ah well.

Also:

Maquis version of Chakotay. Ship and droid (as a Crew card) may follow
Cheers yall!

i always feel like stting between two chairs when ST vs SW... and i am nerd enough to like both... i couldn´t choose....:argh:

I know what you mean; I usually fall down the gap between the two
One of the guys on the wars boards said it would work well for Armada, then explained how it works on armada.

So I had to make an X-Wing version of that

Cheaper, not as beefy. Also needs a base insert

Wait, original one needs one too...

the only thing is i think you nailed the star wars look with that one, but i can´t shake off the feeling that for a star trek facility either faction it lacks a certain convincing look for that universe... hmmm... but maybe it is just me that actively only is able to picture a star trek space station that looks like deep space 9...talk about conditioning...

Just think of it as non-federation Vik. Makes everything more plausible.

O-kay...

Anyway - wondering what should I do next? Maybe some more repaints? Build something? Back to board games? Or even... 40k?!

Armarda

Battletech.

I'm currently itching to do some repaints, why not join me

And the man with the vaguely sensible suggestion wins
Next up, then, will be Horton Salm, I think - the Y-Wing Grey Leader that I used for Kalend Thora (and, more generally, is a nice wee ship )
Wait, Knightley just tricked me into painting something crisp and... Grey

Hahaha all part of my master plan

Well now!
Grey Leader checking in :


Comparison shot between my two repaints, Gold and Grey Leader.


Maybe if I hide here, no one will see me...

Very pleased with how he turned out for a Quick crisp and grey
Effort that leaves an X and a TIE to do Tie needs to be slightly more distinctive I think than the others, might give it kill markings (single red stripe along middle of wings). X-Wing likely to be another member of Red Squadron. Preferences?

Solid repaint bud, keep up the good work!

If your looking for inspiration for a project have a loo at Paradigm's monthly painting challenge thing. This month is Monster if that helps.

Both y-wings look awesome. I'm also very pleased that my autocorrect doesn't underline any star wars ship names when I write them.

wow neat Starwars base. Good job on the cards.

Will do boss

Might do that, could do with getting back into painting generally.

Thanks mate, all phones should speak Galactic Standard.

Thanks on both counts buddy boy!

So, rubbish morning - discovered my car's passenger door had been jimmied in the night. Not much taken, old iPhone 3 we owe as music player and emergency phone, left the sat nav and didn't really do much more than scratch the paint a bit (and it's a Honda, so the paint mostly sucks) - spoke to police, not much can be done. Mostly, it's just the sense of violation. Sucks.

Anyway, while waiting for the police, occupied myself by starting my last two repaints :


Red 3 (Wedge!) and elite TIE pilot Howlrunner coming up...
Cheers yall,
Graven

ach.... man... i bet it was just some youth too crazy and bored... idiots... one day they learn their lesson...
also... soe older cars just beg to be opened... my sister used to try to open VW golf cars of the second series with her own car keys... crazy enough from time to time they fitted...

white treatment later on on those fliers?

also... man... i just watched an episode of star wars rebels...and saw an old favourite character show up again... was thinking this one was already dead... but i never watched clone wars to the end... (if you saw the episode already then you know who i mean...)

I think they look fantastic graven... and I'm not even a Star Wars groupie.

Some good and dirty ships. Base could be a privately owned place in the Trek 'verse

also... if you need a new project... i suggest making "sabines" tiefighter....

Well, a house down the street was done over, so this may at least help police build a timeline.

Yup: thumbsup:

Mmm, interesting! Really looking forward to her movie (Rogue One) in 2016.

Why not?! Thanks mate.

Yeah, I had in mind those kind of havens - I'm a DS9 guy at heart, I could see the Orions operating out of something like this : nod:

So, couple of repaints. Veteran TIEs get a red stripe as a kill marking. Cue experiments with tamiya masking tape:



Poor focus there on the last one, sorry, but you get the idea?

And Wedge Antilles in Red 3, completing the squadron for now (I'll do a group shot anon, but I might wait till I get another one so I can do Jek Porkins too)


Cheers gang! That's me up to date with my SW stuff, but with Dad's Day on Sunday and birthday next week, who knows eh ?

graven

wicked fliers...i like the dirty look on the xwing!

and the tie looks cool...tho...in my limited mind i doubt that the empire allows for such a thing as killmarks?...never saw that in any movie...or didn´t realize it...

Mmm, interesting! Really looking forward to her movie (Rogue One) in 2016.

???...really?...cool...i also hope to see soon why she´s wearing madaloreian armor...

Well, no, but there's references in the books to imperial pilots with ten confirmed kills permitted a red stripe across their wings. I think her armour is explained in a later episode; Sabine's a great character, although sadly many Bothans will die...

I wanted it to be even grubbier than the other 2 because Wedge was the only pilot to successfully fly in both trench runs, so really wanted to am up the Veteran feel. Also, I'm a moron: I gave Red 2 3 stripes so fixed that while edging up the white a bit more.

Better now.
Have discovered I have a Slave 1 coming my way as part of birthday-ness. Expect some scummy goodness

oi....slave one! that´s a cool addition!

lol... rogue two with three stripes rogue sponsored by ADIDAS?

and... of course... many bothans need to die... seems they´re born to die... one of the sentences that gets aired the most... after..."i´ve got a bad feeling about it...!"
