Sorry, no pics of this weekend's reenactment of the evacuation of Hoth. I brought my camera, but the day before the battery was almost dead so I put it on the charger and....yeah, it was still there when I was at the FLGS. So much for that idea. :-/
Anyways, our (WIP-repainted) Lambda Shuttle made it's battlefield debut in it's new colors. It drew tons of compliments which is always a good thing! It also laid down some good long ranged fire support though I'm starting to think the heavy laser cannon isn't worth 5 points for just an extra shot at ranges 2 & 3 (with no option for crits.).

That's a great looking shuttle. I really need to start looking into painting some of mine.
Is there any difficulty in doing so, other then their size?
No, not at all. I just mask off the stand insert so it remains clear (if priming as in this case). I also masked off parts of the wings that I wanted to stay white with blue tape prior to priming.
The rest I just painted over the existing colors w/o priming, and clear coat them afterwards. Its really quite easy.
Good to know! Thanks! I think I'll try this one my lesser used ships first!
