Star Wars Bounty Hunter Ship

This will be sacrilege to some, but I picked up an old broken Star Wars toy off eBay and gave it a repaint to use with my 28 mm figures.  :o

But why?  Looks perfectly functional after your repaint.    Recycling at it's finest.

It looks good, especially considered the amount of effort necessary :)

Although you have the time and skill I think making larger wings/fins would really make it look more like the classic imperial shuttle. 3 large pieces of plastic card with cardboard, paper or plastic card shapes of various sizes and thickness is "all" it would take.

Another Star Wars toy has been repurposed for wargaming usage. This time it's been painted up to be a Bounty Hunter or Smuggler ship.

I've just been introduced to the world of the 'clay wash' (seen it in demos, not used it myself yet). It's designed specifically to use as a wash on vehicles and buildings, which you apply in a big slosh then buff off the excess as required. It sounds ideal for your projects. Here's the video I saw of it -

I wonder if it will work on MDF buildings?
