Show us your Shuttle

By Rodent Mastermind, in X-Wing

Hey there peeps. I know we have been having some issues with our Shuttles, so lets see your solutions...

... and possibly any cool repaints, I don't think I've seen any yet.

Here is mine the ST-623 "Eclipse" requisitioned to the Emperor's Shadow Guard.

ho-lee crap that looks awesome!

That is an astonishingly, beautiful repaint. Excellent work!

That's amazing - I wish I had skill, or someone like you nearby to beg to repaint one of my shuttles!

The only problem I see with your repaint is I don't have one. :lol:

Seriously that is awesome. I only wish I had a fraction of your skill or like Ravncat said 'or someone like you nearby to beg to repaint one of my shuttles'.

Truly good work.

Awesome work!!

Wow, much better than anything I could do. Also love the TIE with the Empire symbol on it's wings.

I'm planning to paint my last 2 eyeballs to match so I have a group of 3 of them with the white cockpit and with the Symbol on the wings.

I was just thinking a re-paint in black would look great!

That is so sick! Nicely done!

Bravo.

Oh and here is a close up of the Tail Detailing

This looks very nice, it would be cool in crimson too I think.

:)

Looks awesome! I've been planning on repainting one of my lambdas but just can't decide how.

Again, very impressive!

Once I have my hands on the Tie Aces, one of my shuttles will be going RED :-)

This is a truly awesome repaint old chap. Bravo.

What are you using for pegs on those TIEs?

both me and my (2 year old) son have just one comment: "Ow WOW!"

Did you hand paint the logo and lettering?!? It looks factory!

Wooo.... 'Eclipse ST·623" written in correct aurebesh too.

You have too much free time ... Excellent work, as always.

Hand painted, Aurebesh isn't the worst type face to paint it's mostly straight lines. The P is a bit of a pain though as it has that overhang on the left of the letter.

I'm now getting quite fast at painting Imperial symbols. I start out by tracing around something round, a Pritt Stick tube from the Tie and a button for the Shuttle. I then cleaned it up and got it nice an round, using black to paint against the circle to thin it down and paint over any places where it was going too far out. Then I worked inwards. 6 lines in from the circle spaced evenly, then a hexagon using the 6 lines to work out where the points are. As I said I'm getting used to doing it now.

That is really good. The weathering is just the icing on the cake. Wonderful color scheme.

You should totally do a youtube video of your next repaint. I would love to see everything come together.

That is incredibly well done. Thanks for sharing, great job.
