Title: General Merrick's Blue Leader X-Wing (Completed)
Post by: Jodo on April 19, 2017, 07:19:36 PM
Started on this over the weekend, and I plan to finish it this coming Friday/Saturday/Sunday! It's an old POTF2 FX X-Wing, which has been in storage for years. I thought it would be a great opportunity to re-purpose it!

Merrick and his droid:

And then I added the blue to the X-wing:

Subsequently the yellow:

Next will be the grey, the white, and then the weathering!

That looks sweet! Did you get the reference shot from a Blu-Ray version? The detail is nice.

Are you going to do that scoring silver stuff? Like the chipped paint exposing metal?

Great job dude. :{D

That's a very good repaint.
Excellent work!

Thank you everyone! I've never customized a vehicle before, so this was new territory! I've repainted props though, so I approached it in a similar fashion (slow and steady).

Until new reference material surfaces of the bottom fuselage, I believe I'm done!

If I can ever get back to photographing Era of Darkness!  :-X Once school is finished the first week of May, I'm gonna try to photograph several chapters all at once over a few days! I've not published anything since January, so I need to work on things BAD.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!!!  ;D
