and so, yes I started, and should be making a trip to my LGS for some parts to help 'trick' out my Glistening Amber Bison. Gonna need some red lights and a couple small stop signs to add to it, and some emergency lights to add to the wings and tail.. still need a wash for all the dark and deep spots that need proper shading.

so far

I'm hoping to get this finished soon, as I have some support ships in like colors to go along with, 1 Advanced and 2 TIE/Ln, and 1 TIE/In

I need to do much more to it, but thought I would get this here just to get the process started.. I wanted to thank Sable for the inspiration on this one.. lol

now off to find a decent Aurabesh font

I love it! Go school some kids now...

I may have to do a second one depending on how it turns out, then I could take them schooling .. lol.. but I gotta get to know them better, I have yet to actually field one, but hopefully will soon.

For now I think I could run this

i like it. one of the best ive seen recently. with some weathering/shading it will really pop

just had a thought - maybe a stop sign under the wings for when u stall with zero movement - that would be OTT.

I was thinking along those lines.. haha.. if I could rig flashing lights in back that would be awesome too, gonna try to find some stuff at my LGS this weekend, see if I can get some light bars or some such from maybe the train section, and should have some stop signs too.. we'll see what I can find, then decals for the rest.. lol

Maybe a bumper sticker: Palpi aboard :-)

I brake for Lambda shuttle fanatics.

I brake for Albino Cosmic Manatees

hahahahahahah

Yellow shuttle?

Is it bad that my first thought was the Magic Schoolbus?

Miss Frizzle as a pilot. Hmm.

The Who song magic bus comes to mind.

I think the possibilities of Mrs Frizzle's Pilot ability deserves it's own thread

Off topic, it would be really difficult and ambitious, but I think I might try to paint one of my shuttles up like the bus from The Muppet Movie.

All of your other ships need bumper stickers now...

"My child/spawn is an Honor Student at

Coruscant School District 2987!

GO BISONS!"

On the left wing you need a Stop Sign painted on the outside... so you can fold one wing up every time it does a zero red maneuver.

It's coming alone beautifully. I'm glad I could inspire someone to follown one of my crazy schemes.

I can't wait to see the final product.

Started workingmon decals last night, good aurebesh font found and paint program used to create black stripe with wording. Now I need to figure which decal paper to use, one is rather thick, but doesnt need a spray sealer, and the other does.. hmmmm. May be testing today.. lol

That paint job is actually pretty neat.

Cruisin' on down Main Street

You're relaxed and feelin' good

Next thing that you know you're seein'

Palpatine in the neighborhood!

ROFL

the wings on the bus go

up and down,

up and down,

up and down.

the wings on the bus go

up and down

all thru the town.

That would work, but with the Muppet bus, you could sing "Movin' Right Along" while maneuvering.

I totally want to see that repaint now.. hahaha.. it would be awesome.. and if you could swing it, put Animal in the co pilots seat with Doc Teeth driving.. hahahahaha

Oneway,

how can you even think of running a school bus without taking "Flight Instructor"?

Also, you need "Academy Pilot" escorts.

Chris

hahaha.. I was thinking about it.. if I can shave a point here and there I may do it, I just really thought a buzzsaw in school bus colors would be awesome.. lol

So, after finding a good font and then scaling some Imperial symbols down, I have decided to go with these. the Yellow on the decal is a little lighter/brighter than the yellow on the shuttle, but I think once I highlight and wash it it will all come out in the end looking good. Plus the decal paper usually comes out a little transparent so the two colors should mesh and look fine. Just sprayed the decals, after letting them dry and set for a few hours.
