Lots of things on the bench this month I was hoping to get finished - some are closer to completion, thank goodness! But I did manage to finish this counters box for the X-Wing game...
I used a box a little bit deeper than the boxes I've done for Wings of War, but I thought it would work better since the X-wing game has counters that are a bit larger and thicker. I stained it black first and then applied two coats of clear acrylic before I painted on the 'nebula' and 'stars' pattern (I did the stars using a toothbrush to 'flick' the spots on...)
Here is the top of the box with the Star Wars game logo
The side of the box is shown here - you can see the black stain a bit better here - it allows the wood's grain to stand out a bit - more visible in person than perhaps in the photo...
Great job on those boxes, Your paint job is fantastic!
Here is the interior of the box - I used a grey that matches the counter 'background' rather well...
...and here it is with the counters and dice inside.
Hopefully September's workbench crop will see some more planes painted and finished!
As always, thanks for looking!
All the best,
Matt
