Well here is my first ever shot at customizing a vehicle - in this case the V-19 Torrent Republic Fighter Ship. The idea here was a 'shadow' version. I hope you enjoy checking it out as much as I enjoyed painting it. The Black is Model Masters, the gray a mix of model masters white and black and the pale green is Citadel 'Rotting Flesh'. Gotta love that name. So without further bs, here she is..............

another view, a close up of the Warhammer water decals I used . .. I used a smaller version of the same decal for the pilots shoulder - unfortunately I shipped him without taking a picture of him . . . . .

-
oh my god thats waaaaaayyyyyyy better then i thought it would be when i thought of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ant wait to get my hands on it GREAT JOB AGAIN sean
-
Very nicely done.
This is one of the few ships I have (thanks to a certain Yarder) that I have thought of doing spomething with.
If I could find another for a good price I might try this.
Great looking paint apps and nice color choices, really like the green... and it has such a great name too.
Very well done.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.
Wraith - those are indeed chaos. I bought a couple sheets labeled as chaos / warhammer on ebay, and honestly I don't know the difference, but did get some really cool, small decals to use. I noticed the ones you have been using and really like those as well. I like the lettering type decals you have. Mine is mostly things such as different skulls, intertwined snakes, etc. Definitely alot to work with. Thanks again for the kind words. cd
-
the 4 sheets i work with are the "space marines" sheet and "space wolves" sheet and "Tau" oh and "Necron" as well
-
Very nice. I like. On the front page.
-
awesome V-19 CD!
-
Tamer - wow man you did it again Thank you . . .that is too cool logging on and seeing that v pop up. It was alot of hours, that is one thing I learned. Painting a couple hundred figures over the last few years still did not prepare for the amount of work that goes into painting a ship. And on top of that, as I look at the pics, I see flaws that need corrected asap.
Wraithnine - -I will post a pic of my sheets, I seen you already have. Perhaps we can swap a few for a little variety (?). Also wanted to say your shadow ships are awesome. I looked at your entire thread a while back, in addition to enjoying your videos and have to say we seem to have the same taste. All your animated clones are 'right up my alley' as they say. Keep up the great work, here is one fan you have!
Clonemedic96, Thanks for checking out the ship and the great feedback.....nice to know you like it man, Thanks alot. Next vehicles for me include converting a small joe ship into a Concept Republic Fuelship and I have a Clone Wars AT RT which is gonna get the 'treatment' . . . .I just haven't decided on what that treatment is going to be . . .. suggestions welcome but my first thought is camo . . . . or colored to match a red or blue squad . . .green? HELP!
-
Wow. Customs Dept that V19 is just amazing!! Love the colour scheme, the weathering and the small green details you've added. Fantastic!!
-
Great job man. Really great.
-
Just wanted to say Thanks, Lux, Squire, Dana, L.O.S., Sprywalker, TurboTyper, Clone commander . . . Thanks so much for the kind words. TT96, ya man this bad boy is yours so I hope you like it , , Everyones kind words are much appreciated.
-
GREAT JOB CD!!!
-

-
O.M.G.... you are a brave man taking an already superb vehicle and customising it and 'Hot Damn' have you done a great job! I love the colour scheme and the weathering. Catching this post was a real surprise. Extraordinary job!

Nice paiintwork on the y-wing!

That was stellar! Nice, clean paint apps

Wow, bet Hasbro when it does release one of these in a red paint app. doesn't do as good as this one looks. Awesome!

Great work.
I am still waiting to find one for less than $60.... impossible around here.

HB that is one amazing piece of work you did, my friend. Makes that ship look flat out real. I love it man. Thank you so much for the fp treatment. I really appreciate everyones kind words. I too would most likely NOT have the guts to paint this ship if it were mine. This now belongs to one of our very own members, known as turbotyper96. Nearly all of my recent work you see here belongs to him!! Great ideas, Jordan!! Thanks again to all. You have no idea how honored I am. ;)
-
Sweet pic, Jules. I wanted to fp this one but Jules called dibs on it and as you can see, it was for a good reason.
-
Ohhhh yea! Great one Jules!
-
really nice!
-
AMAZING!!!
It looks Great!!
Wow I wish I could make something even half as good as that!!!
Great detail!!!
keep up the great work!!!

-
Last shot of the 2nd speeder . . . . . .
-
Run down, you really need to get a camera that takes clear pictures...your customs are stand out georgeous, they need to be well presented.
I love both the Torrent (which is fast becoming a favourite SW vehicle of mine) and the speeder with the strecher is another really fine piece.
Jules
-
I love that speeder!
-
I got three syllables for ya run down, A-MA-ZING!
-
the weathering looks perfect RD
My favorite is the V-19, I like the bird decal on it's wing
-
looooookn good love the stretcher on the speeder great jon rundown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Thanks FF!! But those birds were handpainted. One is soaring and one is in attack dive. Glad you like them. Right back at you, your work is awesome and quite inspirational!! Thanks again, rundown.
-
Buddy, that speeder with the stretcher is sweet! I love the v-19 as well.
-
Hey Guys, jedihunter has posted a couple pics of this speeder in his thread but I also wanted to get a few in my thread, for memories, if nothing else.
-
And another shot . . . Nice pics by jedihunter.
-
And last but not least:
-
Nice job Run Down. I really like this vehicle and the camo paint job. The troops you made for it are sweet as well.
-
Thanks Luke. I really appreciate that !!!!!
-
Now there is a battle hardened pair of troopers. I love that vehicle.
-
Pure sweetness! I assume that's an older HISS?
-
awesomeeee :o :o
-
awesome man you create all this with little time just imagine what you can do with more ;D
-

-
Great customs, especially the HISS...It makes a perfect outer rim Pirates Speeder...Shiney!!!

Update to the vehicle thread: Jedi Hunter Speeder in Red Urban Camo
-
Another shot
-
and another view
-
final shot Hope you like it!!
-
looks cool mate!
-
That is a great use for that Joe snow vehicle! It does look cool and I like the paint but the guns seem a bit big for the ship to support. Just my opinion but all together still a cool custom.
-
that is a great looking camo RD
the red and grey looks really good and the weathering is perfect as always
-
looks amazing man, nice work!
-
I've not seen that particular vehicle before, it makes an excellent custom. You've done a wonderful job on the colour scheme. Altogether a perfect custom vehicle!
