Shuttle Repaint - Crimson Guard Shuttle

By Vent, in X-Wing

Was about to comment that you needed some highlights before I saw that it's a Work in Progress. So instead I'll say that I'm looking forward to the finished product. :)

Very nice. Crimson is a great "standard" evil color.

Who you calling evil??? The Rebel Scum are evil, not the peace-loving empire!

So what's next? Calling the Death Star a shopping mall?

We've previously established its the local restaurant of that popular chain boobies.

This is fantastic work!

Strong work!!! Really solid repaint!

Been a little while. The shuttle is mostly finished; just gotta varnish it.

This is a test squint for some escorts for the shuttle. Super quick work on this, really easy to do for some reason...

Oooh, i like it.

And done. I've got four eyeballs that need doing to complete the set.

Photos are shocking... Been awhile since I took photos with a decent camera...

If you would like to see them in "oh my sweet zombie bob" size (over 3k pixels) please have a look at my flickr page...

That is very nice indeed

Crimson Guard ? Do they have Cobra Commander onboard ? lol sorry. old GIJoe joke from the 80's they had Crimson Guards and star wars has Royal Guards.

lol you're right! I'm crossing my geekdom streams!

Quite good that! I do however think that the ships could have benefited from a more noticeable highlight as it would have really made them pop. Of course that's just my humble opinion. :)

I would not worry about it, Vent, these are beautiful repaints, if you want them to be the Crimson Guard, they can be the Crimson Guard... We all knew what you meant.

Bloody lovely. I feel like I now need three shuttles:)

Thanks guys. They're not stunning, but they do the job. I'm trying to decide on a colour scheme for the Tie Fighters that goes with them. I'm thinking double white stripes might look good? the surface area is so much larger that it's going to need another band of white to break it up I think...

you should put those up in the Repaint thread.. nice work

Amazing.

Just one constructive comment, consider getting the stands painted black. IMO that makes a huge difference to a model.

Seriously though, wonderful stuff.

Hmmm good call on the bases. Thanks Spider.

I am loving those TIE's. Really excellent work Vent! :wub:
