good to see you back Dave
the Y-Wing looks awesome

[Goldleaderone]

Action Fleet T-Wing, a WIP. Almost done, credit goes to Spudafett for the kitbash.

[wraithnine]

looks super cool dave love the work youve done on it .

[Clonehead]

Your on fire, Dave. This is one special kitbash. How many action fleet customs are you up to now?

[Tamer]

Wow, looks good. I am really itching to get a few Action Fleet items again. I am really hooked on em.

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks guys. Clonehead, here's a list, I find them easier to go by.


EDIT: List can now be found on Page 1, first post.

Great combined effert to bring this thing to life...er...plastic. Love the look of the ship, great job!

[spudafett]

HEY I've seen that before!  I'd almost forgot you had it! lol
It looks AWESOME!  Great color choices, loads better than what I'd picked out for it.  I knew sending it to you to complete was going to be worth it. 
I still only have one qualm about it and that is that the landing gear holes in the engine pannels need covering.  I would even just say to cover them with slats or something to make them look like vents, that way you don't have to completely fill them in... 

but nonetheless, still 1000 times better than I'd have done on the paintwork.

man that looks really nice, great list by the way, awesome work!

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks guys. I just ordered some more paint so in the next few days I can resume.

A little note regarding why I was away: earlier in the year I had some family issues as my Dad went through some hard times, everything just piled on top of him at once. Helping him took a bit of a tole on me, then little by little I started losing interest which is why I was away for a while. I would pop on very briefly but that would be about it. I do apologize for my absence, we have such great people here, I should have left a post or something letting everyone know what was going on.

Anyway...

Thanks again Spud for sending this out to me, you did a hell of a job with the kitbash! I've been wondering what to fill those engine holes with, what are slats? Also I had half of it painted with fortress gray, but I thought it was too dark so I started over. The body is now space wolves gray, but the nose, laser cannons and engines were left with fortress gray.

My customs list can now be found on page 1, the first post, so check there for updates.

It's good to be back. 

[spudafett]

hmmm... by "slats" I just mean like little bars or plastic squares set in at an angle to make the holes look like vents of somekind.  Like an intake vent or a heat exchanger or something.  I was thinking about something that might be easier to do than covering the holes completely.

[artilarytrooper321]

in a word: good

The list on page 1 has been updated.

Does anyone remember the black X-Wing pilot from Jedi, his only line was "She's gonna blow!" If not, here's a link to refresh your memories.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grizz_Frix

But anyway, seeing Hasbro is making a figure of him soon and its been revealed that he flew as Red Five at Endor, I was thinking of making Grizz Frix's X-Wing. I would need a Luke Red 5 X-Wing and a Biggs Red 3 X-Wing. I would take the engines off Red 5, and swap them with the Red 3 engines. Why? When it showed Grizz in his X-Wing you could see the red rings on the engines, and the Red 3 X-Wing was the only X-Wing to be released with red rings on them. As for the figures, for Grizz I can take a Gold Leader figure and paint his face brown, as he has the same helmet as Gold Leader. For his droid see below.






What do you guys think? I know its not much of a custom (compared to my others) but the reason I don't want to add any paint to the X-Wing is because I want it to look like the other X-Wings, as if it just came out of the box.

Gold Leader, your knowledge is fantastic, as is your attention to detail. This definitely is a post to watch!

[wraithnine]

well dave is the action fleet guru...
