I've had my Valhalla boxed set for a while and never did anything but base coat and wash them. I've been getting kind of tired of my Hawker (they're good, there's just only so many fleet variants you can build with an alliance or league primary fleet) so I thought I'd get to work on these guys.
I'm pretty happy, so far. I'm not going to call them done till I get an air brush and glow out the engines. Not sure what color to use, though add I've already used a blue and orange.
I gave up on all those expensive magnets. They're great for x-wing but unwieldy for heavy resin. I bought a bunch of Hawk Games flight stand widgets and I think they're a much simpler, effective and importantly less expensive solution to spiny spaceships.
