Levi Porphyrogenitus 877 Posted July 25, 2014 Just because I'm curious, is this a http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gamma-class_assault_shuttle or a http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gamma-class_ATR-6_assault_transport? I'm assuming the former, given the hull styling, though the name you chose suggests the latter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlphaTwo 135 Posted July 25, 2014 That is just awesome, excellent job. looks just like it did in X-Wing Alliance and the old WEG source books. Great job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it could do with a little more shading, but maybe that's just the picture. Edited July 25, 2014 by Mikael Hasselstein Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted July 25, 2014 Yes it's supposed to be shuttle, not transport. Screwed that up apparently, which means the ArueBesh I wrote on the side of it is wrong as well. Oh well, **** happens I suppose. I'm not completely happy with the paintjob though. On a technical level there is nothing wrong with it, but Imperial ships are clean and boring and that translates to a boring paintjob. 1 Mikael Hasselstein reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted July 25, 2014 Copied and pasted from me blog ('cause I'm a lazy bastard). Took a while but here is the finished product. In a day or so I'll probably have the paint guide posted as well. Not a bad attempt, considering this is the first time I build something like this. I have to say that I found it harder to build the Gamma than my previous scratch builds. First of all, I felt very restricted due to the ship actually existing beforehand instead of just being a vague figment of my imagination. In my own mind I can change what I'm building without any restrictions. Also, the fact that there were several versions of it and that no source gave all the details I needed, hindered me severely.As for the paintjob it is quite boring. Imperial ships usually lack all the nice grime, rust, scratches and individual marking that characterise Rebel ships, and that leads to a clean, shiny, and utterly boring model. Which happens to be the reason that I haven't re-painted more Imperial ships. Onwards to the next project! 6 MP7VRN, AllDeadDave, J43G3RM31ST3R and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacrossVF1 4,341 Posted July 26, 2014 Imperial ship paint jobs are about purity! not the mess of those rebel mongrels. There might be some truth to that. Still doesn't make it any less boring to paint. Dude. Baller. According to the Urban Dictionary baller means: Baller: n. (sometimes pronounced as balla) balling:v. (sometimes pronounced as ballin'): One who retains a questionable amount of wealth and is thoroughly comfortable flaunting it. The form of wealth commonly recognized is cash, although it can be lucratively displayed in other forms such as brand name cars, pricey watches, and women with greater scale of beauty than the "baller" him/herself. A baller may or may not produce wealth illegally. It is common that a more serious and dominative attitude is evident amongst this person. Usually this type of persona is taken on to compensate for a lack of confidence or a void that is unknown and developed during childhood. Oh man he's so ballin'! Can I get that baller's number? Are you sure that's the right way to use it? Anyway the paint guide is now up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
