Better pics of my Finemolds X-Wing - big pics

Expanded Universe era Rogue Squadron X-Wing. The pilot isn't done, I'm waiting for helmet decals for him.

I'm still trying to get good shots of these next two, they turned out looking too yellowy.

Dude it looks great. I never really thought about it before but I think the EU stuff is a bit ...I don't want to say easier...but less "battle damaged" and that makes it a bit more appealing to me. The original trilogy just looks wrong when even close to "clean". EU stuff look perfect just a little "scuffed up"

Seriously though its an extremely nice diorama! A+

Thanks! I did spend a little time deciding how much wear and damage to model. I figured that Rogue Squadron probably has some of the best mechanics and newest equipment, so I did a dark gray wash and just some basic wear from flying through a battle. I haven't been able to get a good shot yet, but I did have a place where the Future coat ran, first time using it and I put it on too thick, and I tried to scrape it off... It left a neat mark that looked like a laser hit, so I just kept it.

That's a great base.

Oh, yeah, the model's nice, too

This is CRAZY COOL!!! At first glance, I didn't realize this was one of the smaller scale X-Wings.

Nice work!!! Color me inspired!!!

Thanks! I'm actually surprised that it came out that good!
