"X-Wing" repaints - Empire Inferno Squad
« on: November 16, 2014, 09:11:36 AM »
An SWTOR Liberator fighter. Shapeways design by Mels Minis.



The Liberator-class starfighter served as the primary defense against the Mk VI and Mk VII Imperial interceptors employed by the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War and the Cold War. (from: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Liberator-class_starfighter)

The fighter was used as a starting Screen pic for SWTOR Online game for their Galactic Starfighter Expansion.

I was amazed by the print quality  of the model. Mel has done a very fine Job!

Another repaint: This time the B-Wing, I love this design since swing SW VI!


I magnetised the base, cut the cockpit and rotated it be correctly fitted for the shown flight position.
Great little model!

And a Rebel group shot:

The E-Wing - I LOVE it! Also because it is from one of my favorite expanded universe story lines: NJO vs Vong!  8)

Out of the hat, my most liked SW Rebel fighter designs would be:
B-Wing
E-Wing
Stealth X
X-Wing
Z-95

Sorry, I meant the Liberator. The E-wings isn't too bad as designs go.

My favs would be

B-wing
A-wing
Y-wing
Tie interceptor

With the rest in close behind  :)

cheers

Y Wing (grizzled, out dated but hard as nails).
X Wing (iconic)
Imperial shuttle. (Again folding wings).

Nice freighter, reminiscent of RobJedi's Falcon conversions.  Anyway, lovely paint work as usual Agis.  I've been tempted to buy some small scale spaceships from Shapeways but am leery of print quality.  But that first set of pics is promising..

The model is a very close (actually better) version of the XJ freighter from Star Wars The Old Republic!
see:


As far as Shapeway model go, I can only recommend them if you are willing to pay a bit more and always go for Frosted Ultra Detail. Every other material is not to my liking.
In addition you will need an Ultrasonic Cleaner to get rid of the strange oily fluid the models are coated.
After that all is fine!
