I think they turned out nice!

Those look great! Did you use a wash, or just a thin yellow? The color looks nice and light enough to not stand out too much, but adds a subtle difference to each one. Love the highlights on the cockpit glass too.

Hey!

First I did some yellow on the wings and other spots. I also painted the astromechs, and as you mentioned did a little work on the cockpits. Then a good brown wash, and voila!

Lord Ashram,

Any chance of some closer photos, or a how-to? You're making me want to individualize my X-wings now.

Hey!

If you go to the blog and click on the photo, it should zoom in sufficiently I think…

As for a how to, not much to it! Painted on some yellow… Then did a dark blue on the canopies, a lighter blue near the top, and a spot of white. Then dotted some colors on the astromechs. Finally I gave the whole thing a brown wash, and voila! Done! It was only ten minutes of work total… For miniature people, touch ups like this are extraordinary simple!
