Stephan: Looks outstanding, great work there! 

 

Love the green and yellow scheme! It does make me think of John Deere though, didn't know they made fighter/bomber starfighters... Stick out tongue

Thanks Bish, always a fun group build. If I have the time I have a nice Z-95 headhunter model that I could do.

Hi Gamera, I was thinking more of the Banana squadron. He is Banana Leader, lol.

German Armor, appreciate the comments. This scheme is my own, but I guess it is all fictional anyway.

Eagle90, thats an impressive line-up. Are you planning on adding the rest of the cast?

NucMedTech, your B-wing looks great. Your paint job has got me thinking about different types of color schemes. I think I’d especially like to see something done in a digital camo pattern. I wish I had the skills...

And finally, here is my B-wing. It’s the first time I’ve applied battle damage to any model, and to say I was hesitant to try it is an understatement. Damaging a perfectly good model is hard to do. As usual, I fretted about the weathering process. It’s not my favorite part of the job. Here I used Ammo by MiG washes, as well as some Tamiya dry pigments.

Oh neat! Always happy to see another cool looking B-wing! Looks really good to me, nice work!!! 

 

Lol, all these B-wings remind me of my youth and playing 'TiE Figher' on my PC. B-wings, ack, clumsly, slow, and easy to shoot but gee friggin' whiz they had strong shields and ungodly strong armoured hulls. You had to pour a pile of fire into them to kill them. And sometimes they'd get off their missiles into the capital ship you were supposed to be protecting - ah well those Imperial engineers need something to do right? Get off their butts playing Sabacc and patch the hulls of their star destroyers...

Eagle, you seem to be building your own legion of the Emperor's finest!

Cary your B-Wing looks awesome!  The battle damage is subtle and a nice touch.

Nick that cockpit looks great!

Actually I think it's on www.gog.com if you or anyone else wants to re-live memories or try it for the first time. You need a decent flight stick though.

Well, here goes:

I used to be proud that I had only one project on the bench at a time but, well, that has changed over the past year or so. Now I seem to have about three or four projects going at once. Not sure what happened. Anyway, here's the SW stuff I've completed over the past few months. Thanks for looking and sorry for all the pics.
