Getting my Star Wars on

This is some images from the old BoW site

These where painted using the methods outlined in Johns vlog

These were painted using the guide from here https://sorastro.com/2018/08/15/rebel-trooper-pdf-guide/

These were painted by following Sorastro video’s again. I found them very helpful even to the point of get some new brushes mentioned in the description.

Bit of a late start to the weekend for me, not much time yesterday but I thought I would make a start on finishing off this.

In the meantime here is some stuff I finished earlier this week.

Pretty much finished the tank now, just waiting for the base to dry so I can attach it. Realised the gunner isn’t looking where the gun is pointing but its a bit to late to change that now.

While the base for the tank is drying I started something new.

Been trying to get things finished and not distracted by the new shiney. I’ve built my clone wars starter set, but I wont start painting until the other stuff is complete (hopefully).

I bit overwhelmed to get a mention in the golden button section the other week. We’re not worthy springs to mind.

The last couple of weeks been trying to get these done bad boys done. I have been following another of Sorastro’s excellent painting tutorials:

Mixing the wash wasn’t my finest as it started ok and then got darker and darker, I need to mix things more thoroughly in future.

I thought I would try something new with him and I drybrushed the skin yellow before putting contrast over the top, it didn’t really work as well I as would have liked, should have thinned the contrast down a bit

After taking a bit of a break from Star War I am back with a bang. Just before Christmas I managed to get a Elegoo Saturn and using some files from Dark Fire Designs I printed this X-Wing.

The weathering was done mainly with Nuln Oil and then wipe it off with a cloth moving it only towards the back. The ware on the grey sections is where I managed to rub off the paint but it I happy with it. The foils do open and it will sit on a GW flying stand if you wanted to house rule it for use in game but I did it for a scenery piece or maybe an objective.

I have a Y wing nearly done and some mando’s also from dark fire and 5 squads of clones also on the table at the moment.

Here is the Y wing also from dark fire designs. Almost to big for my photo box. Painted using the same techniques as the X wing however wiping off the shade on the piped section behind the cockpit proved harder than I thought.
