I have 2 fav X-Wings. Red 4 of course, and Blue one. I already told you that you achieved an awesome build and paintjob, but once again I can tell you it's one of the best, if not the best, X-Wing Ive seen so far. And this one is really hard to nail because of the very subtle weathering which is a tough one to achieve on a so bright and whitish base color.

Great job J !!

 

[moffeaton]

Thanks guys! I am super humbled... it's been an on and off deal for, oh, half a year, easy, lol!

Of course, once I heard Lorne Peterson was gonna be at WF, a fire was lit under my butt and in my brain!! NO PRESSURE, JASON!!!

OMFG!!! ........excellent workmanship man. Those decals really do look fantastic. I only hope I can do half as good a job on my x builds.

 

[Guy Cowen]

Truly stunning Jason, you must be totally made up with it. Well worth every second spent mate.

 

[Robiwon]

Beautiful bird! Absolutely love the paint job.

However, it all looks strangely..........................familiar.......................:thumbsup

More. Please sir, may we have some more?

Nice job, Jason.

I think we all need to see you slinging it over your left shoulder like the McCune pic.

...and he nails the finish, folks. I still remember the first pics you posted after you'd shaved off all the surface chips and mounting point covers and have been anticipating every progress update since.

A few more days and I'll have the privilege of seeing it in person. Great build, Jason.

It's a must. Also you need a beard to match. Blue One already matches.

Looking spot on... and I'd like to second Julien's remark about this being a prime example of light weathering. Way to go Jason. If there was a model equivalent of facial recognition software you would totally fool the machines.

I think it's about time I paid for those decals.

 

[moffeaton]

Haha, it just needs to get bushier - then I'll sling 'er good.

Drinkin' with dear 'ol Ma yesterday:

Can't wait to see BLUE.

She's a beauty Jason!!!!

Thanks for including the background history of the Blue One on your site; I love reading details about the models. I also like your creative solution to replicating the stain around the canopy with watercolors. Did the surface require any special treatment for the watercolors?

I kept flipping back and forth between your Blue One and the Blue One on the Cd that came with you decals, and you really captured the look of that x-wing. Very cool work!

Finally, great Mother's day picture. :thumbsup
