How would you Paint the Buzzsaw Shuttle?

By phild0, in X-Wing

This is delightful! Love the Colour.

for some reason this site doesn't want me to post pictures of my models or I would upload my space whale pic also

I can recommend using www.postimage.org

After uploading use one of the links for Forums, copy to clipboard, insert, preview and post

Ahh, thanks a lot. It's been killing me trying to figure that out.

This is the shuttle I've painted for my Scarlet cowgirl list. I want all of the ships to have a similar color to them. Next is to work on the fighters

Coruscant PD: Striking black and white patterns. Red and Blue light strip along top wing. Easy to remember emergency number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725

Impossible to read that without hearing Moss sing it!

If i had the skill and patience I would model it with an actual saw on the nose and paint a hockey mask onto the cockpit :D

NP, happy to help out (possibly hoping for a "Like this" in return??)

A little advice (that I've received myself too): Seems like your paint is a bit thick, do you dilute it at all or use it straight from the container? I can highly recommend diluting it a bit with water (is you are using waterbased paints) as it gives a far smoother surface without brush marks/texture

Yes, I wasn't happy with having to do a couple of extra coats on the darker parts, however my hand isn't as steady as it used to be and I'm trying to regain my touch with a brush. I can usually go straight from the paint bucket with very few issues, but in this case seeing as how the list is more of a pirate band, I'm not going to fix it.

I will however give the water idea a try, I'm always looking for ways to get better.

possibly you could use a small saw blade from a dremel tool, or possibly from a kids toy tool box with a saw blade.. that would be a riot to see sticking out the front of a albino moon calf...

I have a Lambda shuttle, and I love the aesthetics. The wings bent down for the first time and I went from -_- to :3
