Storage for X-Wing Miniatures Models

There are a lot of reddit posts about storage for X-Wing Miniatures models, from cases with cut outs specific to each ship to (like Feldherr or Battle Foam cases) to tackle boxes and small organizers. The former tend to look better but they are also a lot more expensive, especially as your collection grows over […]

Painting X-Wing Miniatures Models

Many years ago I used to paint pewter figures (badly), and more recently I’ve done some painting on HO scale buildings for my model train layout. I never really thought about painting X-Wing Miniatures models but after seeing some pictures of what others have done, I really wanted to get some custom paint schemes on […]

Magnetizing X-Wing Miniatures Models – Wave XI Ships

The next round of X-Wing Miniatures expansions have been released (July 2017), and pretty much as soon as I got them I had to magnetize them.

I had already magnetized the TIE Striker and I never bought the U-Wing, so this just covers the three […]

Magnetizing X-Wing Miniatures Models – Scum and Villainy

Previously I showed how I added steel balls to the pegs on the X-Wing Miniatures models to get everything magnetized. Now it’s time to add some of the ring magnets to the ships. These are the Scum and Villainy ships that I’ve done. The first step is to remove the peg from the bottom of […]

Magnetizing X-Wing Miniatures Models – Pegs and Steel Balls

I recently started playing the X-Wing Miniatures game and I love the detailed models used for the game. The models sit on top of plastic pegs that are easy to break off, and the easiest way to avoid this issue is by magnetizing the models using small ring magnets on the ships and steel balls […]
