Oh yea, looking good! This is going to be so cool when everything comes together. What is you stuck the decals to a long piece of tape, trimmed to  straight line if things didn't line up perfectly, then apply the tape to the wall?

Worked on the Gunship a little this weekend. Mostly doing the first wash. I'm pretty happy with how most of it turned out. There are some really good "oil leaks" here and there but I don't think it's over powering too much. Next up will be going over this with a dry brush to bring out the highlights.




You can see the troop deck pretty good here, the weathering on the inside turret came out very nice. There is also a REALLY nice oil stain near the forward door.


Really nice oil/weather staining here..


The engine area is very dirty, I'll go back and pull out some highlights here. (you can also see the USB port for the lighting inside.)


Under the main rocket launchers, I like how the wash settled here as this would be one of the most dirtiest parts of the ship.

It's a water slide of an image I altered, filtered, touched up and then re-sampled for a higher print resolution.

I don't think anyone here can argue that this isn't one of the best gunship customs ever........it is.

Thanks Clonehead!.. you should see all the reference material I've collected thanks to the clone wars episodes as of late :P If I can finish this, I have about three more projects I want to get onto next.

GI Joe Hiss Tank (my friend worked on the CG Effects for the new movie and I tend to make a custom to celebrate his work.. The last one I did for him was a Star Scream from TF2.
Avatar Mech (Concept Edition) This was never in the movie, but looks really cool.
The Gunship from last weeks Clone Wars.. the "Tie" Gunship.. Though, it would be mostly scratch built which is something I've not done a lot of, I think it would be an adventure.

I'm very excited for 2013!!

I completed a bunch of dry brushing. I only have a few things left to finish up.. (canopy, missiles, gun barrels.. etc..) hopefully by this weekend the Gunship will be completed!!

You can see all the whole album here  https://picasaweb.google.com/112607455078338332870/2013SWGunship#

and here is a teaser image.. Though I want to take a few night shots with the interior lights on tonight to see if they still work and don't shock me  =)

dude this is some bad a$$ness totally see this in the CW like a custom specifc mission.  But ur attention to detail is fantastic and i like the earthy feel to it as well.  I'd love to see the reference material u've accumulated specifically any interior shots for the gunship.  Keep up the good work.

I got some more done tonight and I tested the lights... I think they came out good enough! I left them on for about 10 minutes, nothing was hot and there was no burning smell so I consider that a WIN!

Expect some better pictures early next week (these are with my phone).
