Can someone get me the embed code for this and either post it here or pm it to me so I can get this up on the front page? I didn't get a chance to do this at home last night and now I am stuck at work again with no Youtube! :'(

Here's the code i used to embed it!!

Also, Re: jkno and aimed at everyone: Do you think painting over my shadow gunship's grey to make it a shiny silver would look better? Im contemplating redoing the silver but i'm a bit unsure  :-\

Also, heres a sneak peak at project 501st's Larty. Only half done, the other side is completely bare, but my brother and i are aiming to get this done by next week. Our main cause for concern is whether to keep the republic insignia and whether the wings are too plain? What do you think?

Thanks!!

its looking good Lamb....
i used the silver on my gunships (Shadow ans the 187th legion) and i really liked how they turned out the one thing with that paint in particular, it seems to go claggy for lack of a better word, if you try to paint it on to thick and try to spread it, that's with the newer black lid pots, my old white lid pots doesn't seem to do it so i glad i still have a bit of that left.... give it a test on one of the wings if you don't like it keep the Grey....

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead

Lamb, I love it!  I'd keep the grey, not silver. Silver would be too flashy for this, and out of place, IMO.  It's looking sweet!

That 501st larty is looking sweet, buddy! I'm going to fp this one, for sure!
I Don't know about the silver on the shadow gunship though. It would be hard to tell until it was done.

LOL,Not as such, buddy. It would all depend on the paint and it's application. I'm just saying that I would be nervous trying it.

Yours turned out great.

lLamby my boy, you've done real good here.

I love the consistency of your colour schemes, you are putting your own mark on everything and it all looks very professional (if you can use that term for customs).

You have a great eye for colour, and I love the fact that you keep everything clean.

I also loved the photoshop image you produced for the tank, you really should post that in the Art Forum, and you really should do more, you have a great talent.

Stunning work, simply stunnning.

I'm glad you decided to make the Gunship from the 501st because it's something differen't. The paint job looks great. I can't wait to see the finsh product. The figures you did are good as well. The pilot looks really nice and the Legacy Collection Captain Rex looks awsome because it has great battle damage. You have done some really good customs these couple of weeks. First the Fighter Tank, then the Turbo tank now the Gunshp. I can't wait for the 501st AT-TE you are going to do. I can't wait for more lambonspit.

Offline clones are awesome

They look great!!! You pulled off the color clash like no other....
but the pilots make me feel like I fell into an episode of Pimp My Ride....
Although a big screen and system would make the drops that much cooler...
I like what you did, and excellent job.
Was it a real pain keeping the Lucky Lekku graphic intact?
It looks like you kept it pristine...
Again, great job and the ship and pilots are well done.
