[X-Wing] More than meets the Eye: A Wretched fleet of Scum and Villainy

[Mr Tough Guy]

Fresh from last weeks LPL here's the start of my X-wing Scum and Villainy repaints, if you're a fan of 80's cartoons you might recognize some of the paintschemes, and otherwise the title of the thread might give you a hint 




And some more detailed individual shots:

Handsome work, but a bit confused by the Amanita R2 unit...

[Redmao]

This is fantastic!

A few more additions:





And the previous guys with a side by side comparison of the Transformers that inspired their paintjob

[OSHIROmodels]

Ah, it all makes sense now 

cheers

Yeah, I wasn't making the connections, but didn't stop from being damn handsome!

I will say, while I didn't see the origin, I think Venom captured my fancy the most.

Did you see the images on TMP of the "SW armada ships with VSD modification" topic? Fellow going by Atropos907 put up images I was hoping someone would bust as mere photoshop.

Truth be told, the PJ impressed me so I'd give props if it WAS just photoshop!

Very clever - I especially like the resemblances between the characters and your models, as well as the great paint work.

[Mr Tough Guy]

yeah thanks, I guess it's not THAT obvious unless you're a die hard G1 transformers fan 

For me it was the obvious choice though, I got those headhunters first and needed a paintscheme and since I'm a big fan of the old cartoon the Seekers were the obvious choice, after that I just started looking at decepticons that fit

Latest Addition


And a groupshot of the 3 basic Seekers


and a shot together with the inspiration for their colourschemes

Those Transformers are in great shape...must be worth a pretty penny.

[Mr Tough Guy]

I wish, but they're all recent reissues not originals, although they are all near mint with the accessories still on the sprues and I usually keep them in their boxes

[Elbows]

I was about to ask how you keep the stickers from yellowing.

I was about to ask how you keep the stickers from yellowing. 

The key is darkness and a pure nitrogen gas atmosphere.

Amazing flyers, nice to see the other two Decepticon jets get some love.  Starscream with his sneaky ways somehow became an A lister on his own.
