X-wing - Slave 1 Repaint

Today we repaint the X-wing game piece Slave 1, and turn it into the regular green bounty hunter ship...


I'm planning on running a squadron of a couple of Firespray-31s (see the list below) so I need them to look different. Taking a cue from the card art I decided to paint one in the green scheme.

The first thing I learned with repaints is - you wont have the original colours, so you have to tape off the parts you want to keep - also less is more.

 

  

The Repaint
I started by taping off the parts i wanted to stay the original colours. Next I laid down a base of model colour flat green. then i used a small brush to highlight areas to look worn. for this stage I went with model colour olive green. the final stage of the green was to highlight just the tips of the last highlight with an even brighter green GW camo green. I could have used a mix of badab black and thrakka green to pick out the panel lines but this wouldn't look right compared to the rest. I'll leave this up to your taste.
Using GW solar orange and model colour white I painted in the engines in lighter and lighter blends of the orange and white, untill all I was using is the white.

lastly I painted the nose guns boltgun.
