Lambda Shuttle paint job.

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

I just purchase a Lambda Shuttle from a three eyed guy on Tatooine. He mumbles a lot and became very nervous when the IMP where around. I think the Shuttle was stolen and I need a new paint job. Does any know anyone that wouldn’t ask too many questions.

And what paint job would you suggest!

I was thinking of painting the shuttle like a peace van from the 60’s.

Give it hotrod flames against a blue background.

Because why not?

If I had the skills, I would paint one of mine like the Electric Mayhem bus in the first Muppet Movie......

I wonder if I could get Blue Table Painting or somebody like that to do one for me

Black shapes on it like the space cow she is...

Edit: majestic space cow...

posted this awhile back, but I'll post it here as well.. maybe some inspiration.

Newest update.

sorry for the wash effect, the gloss cote is causing some flare.

Being dissatisfied with the wing decals I removed the old smaller ones and replaced them with newer larger ones, and reoriented them as I decided I wanted all Imp symbols to have the same facing

Put black tips on the wings and a walkway on the fuselage, then the district number on the bottom of the wings so they can be read when the wings fold.

Wow. That Aurek-Besh is... Fantastic. I could make out each letter. Heh...

"Coruscant School District 2987". Well done, sir.

For a Lambda shuttle, armed and so on, this must be a bus for very important students.

EDIT: Is that Old Spice? Good taste.

Haha.. yep... old spice... and you are correct. The writing does indeed say Coruscant School District 2987.. haha... its amazing what a good font and decal paper can do for a model.

I need to do some more for my other shuttles. Not sure what I will write on them though. Possibly unit names.

Oh... and.. thank you...

Wow, I love it in yellow, and the Imperial logos in black, the contrast is awewsome, grettings.

Y'know, you don't have to say greetings. We know who you are. :P

Did you use "school bus yellow" an actual color in the Americana or Apple Barrel line of acrylics?

I used another companies color, but it was basically the same thing.. lol.. my local shop had it and it was spot on in my view..

It's a good paint job but I'm not a massive fan of the yellow but that's purely a personal taste thing :)

You know what would be classy the silhouette of a twi`lek girl, works on big rigs right?

Maybe if I do a Big Rig paint job on one.. that would be awesome.. haha

The same red as the Royal Guard Interceptors. :)

@Oneway:

*awesome* repaint man.

Both thumbs up!

Do a very light pink wash and paint the windscreen (space-screen? viewscreen) pink, like an albino.
