Yeah, all spray paint. That first day of shooting primer left me unable to properly use most of my fingers for the next two days.
I realized quickly that the end value of snap-on trigger handles was far greater than their 1.99 price. Retaining the use of one's digits does come at a slight loss of control, hardly noticable in the end.

Well, yes and no. That is me, but there are actually a few differences between the X-Wing and A-wing gear (the changes are minor, most notably the ejection straps, chest box and flak vest designs, and helmets are nigh-impossible to fabricate).
Given the lack of screentime and the fact that reference material hardly exists aside from those few moments, I have thought it might have been easier to go the CorSec route.
But, encouraged by a select few legion members who made the attempt before me, I've started down the A-Wing path, and by Dragon*Con my efforts will hopefully yield some slighty more satisfying results.

Sorry, by bad. In my eyes Green=CorSec. ;D I've got CorSec on the brain!

I moved my rebel insignias from the doors to quarter-panels yesterday, in addition to some additional pinstriping. I'm afraid I'm starting to feel some Dragon*Con pressure already. I guess I should enact some exhaust fixes soon, lest marchers behind me collapse from the fumes...
Also, I hope to have some better car/costume photos after friday (Star Wars Weekends! I got approved to march with the Legion in the parade, but my baby's staying oustside the park).
And I think I can now refer to my vehicle as Warhawk 12, my pilot designation as a member of Florida's Ra Kura Rebel Legion base.
