I've just started painting up my Star Wars Armada miniatures, mainly the squadrons but also a small amount of work on any duplicate ships, nothing groundbreaking just enough so that they look good on the gaming table.
A lot more background on the project over on my blog:

I've just dropped the game into my shopping basket on Amazon. I'm trying to wait overnight before pressing the "buy" button, but seeing the painted ships isn't helping o_o
The paint jobs are looking good, and nice blu-tac pillar for holding the fighters lol

I've not regretted buying it :)
I was a little stumped on how to paint the fighters at first, I have seen people use cotton buds with the tips removed but the blu tack seems to be working well for me.

A good start, and thanks for blaming me on your blog for all your purchases
lol
Btw, the link you put on your blog post doesn't work - might need to drop the brackets?

Working on an X Wing this morning, it's tough keeping a steady hand on such small details.
-
Nice work on such a small model.
-
Cheers,
Despite just being a basic paint job I'm really enjoying working on these.
-
I caved and purchased the game at the weekend, so I'm now looking at painting these guys at some point. It's nice to see the huge improvement even a "basic paint job" gives :)
I'm in two minds about the larger ships. They're painted, but some of the painting is quite harsh - especially the black lining effect. It isn't at the head of the queue, but I suspect I may want to tone the effect down a bit at some point.
-
I know what you mean with the ships, I'll be sticking to re-colouring duplicates rather than full repaints though and concentrate getting all the squadrons painted up.
-
Second batch of X Wings finished off this morning, time to move back on to TIE Fighters.
-
Great work on these tiny ships!
-
They look so small and yet you've done a great job painting them!
-
Cheers chaps
-
Finished up another batch of TIE fighters this morning, just one more batch and that will be the core sets done.
-
I managed to paint up some more X Wings (Blue squadron colours thanks to Rogue One) and A Wings both of which have come from the first expansion set for the Rebels.
-
Finished up the first Rebel squadron expansion, really enjoyed painting the different fighters.
-
Again, really great work!
-
Thanks Agis,
A fitting day for an update so here are the competed E Wings and Z95 Headhunters.
-
Finished up painting the Rebel squadrons with the Ghost, Shadow Caster, VCX-100 freighter and Lancer Class Pursuit craft.
-
I've started work on the first Imperial squadron expansion, TIE fighters and Advanceds done.
-
With the TIE Interceptors and Bombers done that completed the first Imperial squadron expansion (unfortunately the bad weather has made the photos a tad darker than usual).
-
Just finished up the second Imperial expansion this morning.
-
Cracked on this weekend with the Rogues and Villains expansion and managed to get it done, more photos over on my blog:

Last bit of brush work on this project for now, adding the red lighting on to the Interdicter as per the art
-
Lovely stuff, the Interdictor looks great :)
-
Thanks

Well it's been a while but with the arrival of Thrawn's expansion I had the chance to get a bit more paint on some Star Wars miniatures, in this case Mandalorian Gauntlet Fighters:
