Tiny starfighters

[Verderer]

Painted a couple of more fighters, this time interceptors and Y-fighters. Maybe add some more markings on the latter once I get more comfortable with painting so small. Putting bare yellow on white doesn't really look good, they need a demarcation line to define them more. Maybe later.



Another issue seems to be taking shots of these with my camera, the imperial greys arent a problem, but my camera's automatics seem to over expose the whites really easily. Need to fix that (get proper lights and work the camera settings manually?) Those Ys do have some grey in the aft sections, but it's impossible to tell with these pics.



And finally a tryout for a base solution, a clear base which has holes drilled to it for the black pins. Note I need to paint the pins completely black before fixing them, and of course fix them in right angle too, so they don't look wonky. What do you think?



Oh yes, if you're wondering what the blob is under the y-fighter, it's a part of the miniature, added by the sculptor to help fixing the pin, and has a hole in it for the pin. I was considering removing it, and drilling the hole more, but the mini is pretty thin and it would be extra work for each mini. Besides, it doesn't really show when looking from far and above which is how you usually view them, right? Most of these models don't have these, only the Y- and B-fighters I think?

just paint the blob black and you'll never notice em. You going to paint the bases black to or leave them clear?

[Verderer]

I am thinking clear, because the flight stands for the capital ships will be like that?

Took one test photo with white background - this seems to show the light colour better but then the greys look a bit dark?
