Post by: wraithnine on September 25, 2009, 10:24:27 PM: they arent titaniums clint they are action fleet
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: spudafett on September 26, 2009, 06:30:48 AM: lol... I didn't realize it at first... but that dagger b-wing actually made me say "wow" out loud...

that thing looks amazing! very clean and crisp paint job.
and that republic cruiser... I don't even HAVE the republic cruiser action fleet! I love your paint job on it though, it looks great! I think I saw someone else's republic cruiser that they had painted up to look similar to the tantive IV, the blockade runner. that paint scheme looks realy good on that ship...

still oogling that dagger squad b-wing though... man I miss my action fleet ships.

this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to dig them out of storage and customize every one of them, to hell with keeping them mint! lol

Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: XizorsVirago on September 27, 2009, 11:40:42 AM: wow, those are great! My favorite is definitely the B-wing, great work!
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: hangarbay94 on September 27, 2009, 05:36:28 PM: The republic cruiser is definately my favourite of all of the starships from the prequals & you've done a great re-paint. I also love what you've done top the B wing as well. Great Desk toys.
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: r1bb1t on September 29, 2009, 07:54:08 PM: As a huge fan of both the Action Fleet line and your work, it's only natural that I would love these.
Can't wait to see the better pix of your other vehicles, which I've drooled over countless times, but not yet at this site.
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on October 01, 2009, 08:48:45 AM: These are cool Wraith, never seen any vehicles from you before now. Great job, just like those droids you are famous for.

Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: spudafett on November 05, 2009, 05:00:05 PM: lol if you find any extras let me know.. I've been chasing after a cheap one of each of those for a long time.... I do think though that the local wal-mart will be puting up the new roc line on clearance soon, they've already marked down the figs to 5:00, just a matter of time for the vehicles....
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: DocOutlands on November 05, 2009, 05:02:26 PM: Someone on RS modded a SHARC about a year ago into a Mando fighter. I think you are onto something with this.
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: wraithnine on June 12, 2010, 08:39:36 AM: well i hoped to do a personal fighter custom with an incomplete vintage Y-wing but unfortunatly some bugger bought it so the project is shelved :-\

Post by: wraithnine on June 19, 2010, 01:35:20 AM: COMING SOON THE PREDECESSOR TO THE Y-WING

KOENSAYR RTB-1 "VALKYRIE"
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: hangarbay94 on June 19, 2010, 01:55:24 AM: Ooooh, a Wraith9 custom vehicle! now this I'm looking forward to. Remember, plenty of gorge pictures so that I can rustle up a little bit of artwork...
Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: wraithnine on June 19, 2010, 03:53:07 PM: KOENSAYR INDUSTRIES:

RTB-1A "VALKYRIE" SINGLE SEAT TACTICAL FIGHTER/BOMBER

The Valkyrie was Koensayr's first foray into the starfighter market but certainly not its last.It sported a rugged space frame and heavy weaponry and shields and a modest payload .its main weapons were a pair of Taim & Bak Rotary laser cannons under the forward fusalage and a pair of concussion missile launchers ,with a rear facing remotely operated pair of Blastech Blasters on the rear cockpit roof .the engines were a pair of "off the shelf" Novaldex J-22 "sunburst" ion drives coupled with a new Koensayr powerplant.
Navigation was handled by an onboard astromech .

this model first saw service in the opening stages of the Clone Wars with the Republic Navy and was a astounding success at first .but after a few months problems began to emerge ,the rear blasters proved to be next to useless in battle so much so that most pilots didn't even bother to power them up ,also the engines required extraordinary amounts of maintenance . that being said the republic pilots appreciated the Valkyrie especially for the immense firepower and heavy shielding
what they didn't like was the twitchy handling and constant breakdowns ,unfortunatley with the advent of faster and better armed droid fighters the Valkyrie was quickly outmatched in terms of speed and defensive armament which led to some Valkyrie squadrons suffering appalling losses .The "Valkyrie" or as the pilots tended to refer to it "The Rancor" or "GunBus" was withdawn from service a year and a half into the conflict. To be replaced by Koensayrs new offering ........The BTL-1 "Y- Wing".(which used an uprated version of the Valkyrie's space frame and thanks to pilot feedback retained many features of the original Valkyrie))

Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: SithLord229 on June 20, 2010, 05:50:05 AM: I love it!
The only criticism I have is that I think the body needs more black to blend better with the cockpit area. It kinda looks plonked on. Other than that, the execution & backstory are quality! :)

Post by: hangarbay94 on June 20, 2010, 02:02:17 PM: It's funny, but I was going to suggest that you darken the rear of the ship, but I didn't want to seem critical. It looks just right! I love all of your detailing, and you have applied the same paint effects as you do on your figure customs, so this thing is absolutely superb.

Post by: wraithnine on July 17, 2010, 12:58:45 PM: Kuat Drive Yards ARV-20
A Scout Class vessel which was used in the very early days of the Clone Wars, Republic Pilots nicknamed the ARV-20 "the Flea" and it had an even shorter lifespan than the illfated "Valkyrie" it was lightly armed and armoured ,but had a blistering turn of speed , a hyperdrive and a very sophisticated sensor package. unfortunatly the navicomp could only hold one jump coordinate at a time and with much better vessels being introduced "The Flea " became obsolete very quickly ,and was retired from service only 8 months into the conflict. Many are now used as runabouts and have been upgraded with more powerful blasters and better shields and tend to be employed as light patrol vessels especially in the Outer Rim and Wild Space regions.

"Landing At Point Rain"

PoleAxe 2

Astromech R4-X3(see directory)
bio: He was paired with PoleAxe 2 and a pilot called "TwoTone" ,he is a fiesty droid in many ways like R2-D2 but does have the tendency to sulk on occasion,he and his pilot successfully completed their missions on Geonosis ,PoleAxe Squadron was supporting the 327th Star Corps on Felucia when Order 66 was issued and PoleAxe 2 was the fighter which fired the killshot at Jedi Master Tyree Keth's Delta 7b starfighter thus signifying the end of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order.

Title: Re: wraithnine's custom vehicles
Post by: wraithnine on November 21, 2010, 10:27:30 AM: I have finally got round to taking some pics of my shadow gunship which has been slightly upgraded with weapons and decals

Republic Gunship :

Rothana Heavy Engineering Low Altitude Assault Transport/Tactical Insertion

LAAT/ti

The Tactical Insertion version of the Republic Gunship was a more specialised and expensive variant of the standard LAAT/i,
it was 20% faster, had thicker armour and the standard front laser cannons were replaced by Z12 Heavy Rotary Cannons,
which greatly increased the front end firepower.
The LAAT/ti was also covered in a sensor absorbing black paint scheme (which reduced the ships sensor profile by 35%) .
It was mainly used on highly critical missions and more often than not carried 2 squads of Republic Commando's.
Unfortunately due to its cost the republic could not afford to mass produce this rare variant .

Great story to go along with her, very well done mate!

Post by: hangarbay94 on November 23, 2010, 02:17:26 AM: Jay, I love it! thanks for the compliment but I find black a very hard colour to use when customising, so I very much doubt I could better what you have done. I'd love to see the ship with a compliment of Clones!

Awesome job my friend, Awesome!

What did you use for the minigun barrels? Brendan believes they are the barrels from the weapon used by, amongst others, the BARC Trooper and which *may* be a pack-in extra in certain "bonus weapon packs." Is he correct? (my stuff is spread across 3 locations and 40 acres or I'd just run check)

the barrels are from the heavy weapon that comes with the Galactic Marine (which i also believe come with the BARC trooper)

Post by: wraithnine on July 17, 2012, 01:42:14 PM: i had originally imagined this as a bounty hunter ship (leaving the engines off) but i think i may do some sort of early rebel Y-wing (before they took most of the panelling off) we shall see how it developes...
