More X-Wing minis























So clearly I have become addicted to these miniatures and the game itself.  I sat down with the Lambda and started removing the brush marks in the factory wash with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.  After that I added some weathering to give it a worn feel.  I also added some oil weathering to the Lambda, Falcon and Slave-1 then airbrushed the engines.  I am extremely happy with the look of the engines. Three TIE Interceptors from the 181st now complement my standard TIE's.  I currently have 7 standard TIE's with 2 more incoming via mail, these will be broken in to 3 squadrons of three fighters each (Blue, Blood and Ghost squadrons).  I want to pick up two more of the TIE bombers to complete a squadron.  After all this is completed I will start getting the cursed Rebel Alliance fighters painted.  Till next time!

I picked up a box set of the X-Wing Miniatures game from Fantasy Flight games and could not resist adding some custom paint.  This is good fun!

POC Tigers repainted for FoW!







These models are from a company called Point of Contact (POC) that I found on TheWarstore.com.  They come pre-painted and are a soft plastic.  I added some spare bits, a base, and repainted them to match the rest of my FoW army.  I am pretty pleased with the overall result, especially considering the price point.  See you guys soon.

Flames of War - Königstiger (King Tiger) Platoon
















So the Schwere platoon was pretty straight forward to paint.  I used the airbrush for 90% of the model through the base coats and camo pattern.  A real time saver.  This is my 3rd outing using the Vallejo pigments to weather the miniature and add the mud to the basing.  I am very pleased with the overall result.  Happy painting!
