The game is called X-Wing, which does make for more complicated keyword searches. There's also Armada, but it's a mostly dead game that I saw a lot less stuff made for. Except this weirdo's stuff.



Here are some of the fancier custom models more complicated than just repainting.

Speaking of X-Wings, we now have a Star Wars: X-Wing fan film to add to the pool of fanmade Star Wars projects

While I was looking at miniatures, I noticed a few common themes between repaints that I ended up putting to the side. Like these, I don't really know what this painting scheme is all about, but it seems like following the same pattern.



Sometimes people paint ships to look like they're part of the same group or squad, but I doubt it often works well with point costs and the meta to deploy them together.



Another common theme is cloaking ships. That's a mechanic in the game, pretty cool looking, easy to get lost on the background of space.



But the most popular theme of repaints by far is...



It's kind of ironic that those are probably the most cringey or embarrassing of the repaints, but probably also the ones that take the most skill to do. It's a lot of very tiny details on a small, irregular surface. Inspired by paint jobs on actual historical planes, some may be classy, some are pretty pervy.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but orange and blue are naturally pleasing to the eye, so it's very common in color schemes.

Watching "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" on the Plüs, when this pops up:

This shot is visible for less than a second, but some poor graphics artist sat down and created these posters for a Greedo vs. Salacious Crumb tennis match, and I just want them to know their work is appreciated.

That 90 minute movie took me over two hours to watch because I kept having to pause and rewind to catch small background gags like this one (that I completely missed.)

Heartwarming how all the comments are referencing JK2 (not like he did much else though). What a cool dude-- just stopped acting to open a winery.
