Hello and welcome back,
As one of the scenarios for the upcoming Stargrave takes place in a hangar I decided I needed to get some space ships for the scenario.
Mooching around Amazon I found a deal for 3 Star Wars ships for £40. It seemed too good a deal to miss. The deal had 2 A wing fighters and a Y wing. All come with electronics which lights bits up and makes noises. I have yet to disable them. All three kits are snap together and went together quite quickly.
The A wings look a little to big for 28mm (judging by the size of the pilots) but hey this is Sci Fi so a little bigger works. Both cockpits open and undercarriage retracts. Handy for those parked up and needs attention look I want from the space craft.
The Y wing looks more suited to 15mm and has a twin seat cockpit. However it would work for a small race in 28mm. It will also see some action in my 15mm games.
The plastic kits looked too clean. So I painted some bits silver (engine parts) and then dry brushed silver or grey on the guns and gubbins. I then added silver wear to various parts of the spaceships. The ships then got a black wash to make some details ping and make them look grubby.
I may at a later date do a little more work on these. Maybe get some grey weathering around the panels? But for now they will do the job.
Thanks for looking
Stay safe out there.
Nice work on them all. I have been contemplating picking up similar ships for Star Wars Legion. I just can't guess on size.
