Rebel Transport with atmospheric downlighting mod

By TheHamster, in X-Wing

Although I have been messing with models for a while now, I'm new to x-wing modification. Since I first saw it played I've wanted to do realistic lighting mods to some of the larger ships. The Rebel Transport was the obvious first choice to me, having lots of irregular shapes and interesting profiles.

I love lighting as I really think it brings the models to life. I hope you agree :)

That looks fantastic! Reminded me of something out of Close Encounters of the Third Kind !

Phenomenal work!

Nearly made me groan as I saw it when I got on here to post my WIP GR-75 paintjob, lol!

Cool! Though it does look better from underneath than from the top. I know, mount it on a really tall flight stand so the belly is almost always visible. ;)

That looks so sweet.

I would love to do some lighting mods onmy large & huge ships, but I know itwould probably end in disaster.

Dude!

**** fine job!

WHAT THE HECLLLLLKKKK . I want one of those!

Mad work!!

:D

Well done! I'm working in a CR-90 lighting conversion, combining white leds on exterior and blue in interiors ( I have tried with red ones, but doesn' t works :huh: ) and I can say that turning on the lights is addictive :). This mod looks great on a Rebel Transport.

Amazing! Reminds me of the Nostromo landing on LV-426.

Thanks for all the positive posts guys! MacrossVF1 - a tall stand sounds like a great idea :) I was going to put lights inside the main body and drill out the windows but unfortunately, the plastic is a little too thin and the whole thing glows like a bulb. It was a bridge too far.... this time :)

So. Do you take commissions for modding more space whales?

Yeah! That one's yours if you want it. I need to add the finishing touches but it's pretty much there. I'll add my email to my profile so you can contact me if you're interested.

Lovely :)

Nice! Do you have any pics of the guts, or at least a disassembly guide?

My god! That is fantastic work! Are you going to do. A repaint as well?

Wow that looks great!
