1:270 Action Transport

By Viceroy Bolda, in X-Wing

Work has resumed. I plan to use the same base size and the GR75. It will fly with my Customs Corvette and rule the shipping lanes. This one is wired for lights too.

Recommendations for stats and things are welcome.

I'm building this because I know how much Joe Boss loves this design. Some people paint half naked Twi'leks on their ships, but I'm going to paint "Joe Boss Red 7 was here!" with his picture.

What a horribles fuglies vacumes!

:angry:

Best part about it will be my handsome logo on dat garbage scow.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Clearly it's "worst", no?

Regardless, I think it's a ship that looks far better in 3D than it does in 2D, so I look forward to it.

Its looking really good, but is that 1/270 scale? The Action IV at that scale should be, what?, about 15" long.

It's only 100-125m depending on model (Wild Karrde is an Action VI at 125m, the IV is 100, V is 115).

Can it get much worse?

Out of all the possible Scum Huges, this is the monster that I have never liked.

Okay, so you made me bust our my calculator. IT has been over a year since I worked on this model because I was finishing grad school. You are correct. I knocked it down to 80 meters. The model itself measures a little over 12 inches long. I can't remember why I scaled it down, probably just because the other epic ships are out of scale.

Do you want full body or bust shot? Full frontal or side profile?

Looks really good!

Looks great Viceroy Bolda. And I mean GREAT!

Scale looks fine alongside the other two epic ships as well.

I would have knocked the size down too, put it more in line with the other huge ships. It was just the thread title that was throwing me.

Looks amazing so far though.

Thanks.

I tried to edit the title. Fail.

Ready to hoover.

Awesome. I saw this piece on a model forum while researching my build. Excellent paint job. Are you the artist? If so, pleased to meet you.

What stats do you use?

That paint job looks like a higirian ship from homeworld 2 I dig it

Ready to hoover.

Is it me or is the letter stenciling on the rear upper panel up-side down?

Very pretty.

I was not the builder for the Action VI. It's a kit from Timeslip Creations.

I know that, but who did the paint job?

Looks absolutely stunning!

What's the cut-off mini at the bottom there? Looks like a custom large ship.

I'd guess the AEG-77
