The miniatures used in Fantasy Flights Star Wars X-wing game come already painted. They are well painted but I fancied putting a bit of me onto them...
The first 4 images are before and the second lot are the results. The TIE's needed darkening so I give then a wash of Nuln Oil and then re painted the black on the wings. To make it pop I added some engine glow. I know it has no glow in the films but I think it looks cool. I then painted the cockpit glass and glow with gloss varnish.
The two x-wings needed more work. I started with a heavy wash of Seraphim Sepia before picking out the R2 units and cockpit surrounds.
I wanted one ship to be Luke with R2D2 and the other to be Wedge from the films so I added the yellow strip to Lukes ship and painted R2D2. For Wedge I painted his R2 in red and matched his cockpit. All that was left then was to black the engines and add some engine glow.
Enjoy!
