Repainting the Lambda Shuttle

[@beniverson3777]

I randomly found this video and I love it. I've always wanted to have a black lambda shuttle model, though with my own logo.

[@jacypr]

Simply awesome! One of the best repaints for the X Wing Miniatures Games I've seen so far!

[@JayAdan]

Jacy Ribeiro Wow! Thanks!

[@damianbranica]

Omg. You didn't talk for 20 min about nothing and repeat yourself a million times with different phrases saying the same thing like everybody else. Thank you tons! Awesome job. Thank you.

[@JayAdan]

+Damian Branica Oh shit! I better go edit the audio then.

[@garthantash]

A week ago, I first watched this video. Now I own a Silhouette Portrait and am trying out stencil cutting. Thanks a lot for the idea! :)

[@JayAdan]

+Jake Kroker Fantastic! Look into the other things that you can do with the portrait. Did you know you can also cut thin styrene with it? I see a lot of modelers doing some amazing things with it.

[@garthantash]

I hadn't thought of that, thanks for the tip. I have only had it for 24 hours so am still playing around with just cutting a few star wars symbols to get the idea of how it works.

[@Tellgryn]

Great paint job Jay!

[@valeriacaissa4552]

This repainted Lambda is a true beauty. Thanks for the video, really inspirational.

[@cy2087]

That paneling technique was absolutely awesome Jay! Never saw it before but now I can hardly wait to try it. I just can't figure out what I want to try it on lol. I'm mostly working on 15mm scale minis and have decided to try to sell some of my work on Ebay. That might be an interesting way to judge popularity and execution of certain new styles I'm trying. Then again I might like them too much to sell at all. That is, if I get them right. Thanks very much for showing us this great stuff. This actually makes the Lambda shuttle look badassed.

[@WalkerEMC]

Great job! What would you charge?

[@ayu4ever78]

That's awesome! I would be down with a bunch of ships all painted the same .

[@tjantzen]

great video :-) thanks! what PSI setting are you using on the airbrush? regards Thomas

[@ravingmad8]

Awesome job! I really like the tinting of the canopy glass. I think any other color would have been too muted except for maybe red. Have you ever though about painting or making some custom decals of nose art to put on your ships?

[@sim2570]

I like your paint job!

[@robertom.5734]

Looks great, very nice job. Congrats! Best regards from Spain.

[@JayAdan]

Gracias, Roberto!

[@poppabearfpv9274]

Just found your channel. That is amazing work

[@JayAdan]

Ramon Jimenez Thank you very much!

[@WarpedGames_llc]

Looks great, nice job.

[@JayAdan]

Thanks!

[@toxin616]

How did you transfer the stencil onto the Miniature while keeping everything inline? Transfer tape?

[@JayAdan]

Tamiya masking tape.

[@turnandburn3832]

nice look! Well done.

[@jingles009]

First I gotta say I was put off and thought it was a really idiot move to paint the shuttle black. After seeing the finished, I must say it is really awesome ship you created. I'm impressed. I was wrong.

[@Pelupu]

all paints are model air? If not how do you diluit the paint 50 % paint and 50 % water?

[@Algebrodadio]

Also: The quality of your videos has improved a lot.

[@greywanderer5935]

Looks amazing!

[@snugglebunnykalea]

I was much more impressed with the final pictures than the in process shots. It looked really flat and boring during the in process stuff (specifically at the end of the video), but those final finished shots tied everything together. Great job.

[@CarlYorysh]

I really like it, makes me think of a shuttle Carnor Jax would ride in from Crimson Empire. Not sure how I feel about the cockpit color. It may be just a bit too jarring from the rest of the ship. It may distract a bit from the other details. That said, beautiful job, and it makes me want to start repainting my own fleet.

[@seiya209]

Do you suggest to use a mask during Thế black painting part

[@JayAdan]

I would suggest wearing a mask at all times. It's something that I didn't think was important in my early days of painting but as I get older I've realized that everything you do can affect your body over the long term so it's probably better to be safe than to realize years later that it's too late to do anything about it.

[@seiya209]

@@JayAdan thank you gentlemen , you should. Try painting more x wing miniatures

[@ListerDavid]

The looks fantastic.

[@dysartes]

The final shots showed off the canopy effect really nicely, Jay. Was there a specific source image that gave you the idea for the colour scheme?

[@JayAdan]

No, not really. Just something that's been rolling around in my head for a while. I mean, I know that I've been inspired by other minis, but I wasn't thinking about anything specific when I did it.

[@ericsoncharlie273]

amazing work

[@davidfoust4607]

That is freaking sick, I would pay 200 bucks for that ship easy, dunno how much you charge...lol great job

[@jakeraven2741]

how did you get the wings to fold down all the way? thanks

[@JayAdan]

Jake Shear Some of them just do it out of the box. For the ones that don't you have a couple of options. The first is to just work the wings up and down until they free up or you can take it apart and do a little sanding on the gears to make it work.

[@davidfoust4607]

Jake Shear Mine had to "pop" into place, the wings moved freely down till you "lock" them in the down position

[@jesussolana2902]

amazing, mate

[@CaptainBipto]

Seeing the paint scheme, I thought that would the style for an Imperial Inquisitor, a high ranking darkside devotee, or someone from the secret order of the emperor. Or even an Imperial Ace Shuttle.

[@robertgeer3]

I like it.... Now how do I get you to send me some stencils?

[@JayAdan]

I'm working on that. Stay tuned.

[@imtoys23]

Veeeeeery nice job dude !!!

[@danielpotter3603]

Great job. I dig it.

[@danielkutzner6115]

The ship actually looks pretty nice, though, i think the Imperial Symbol on the top "Wing" section is a bit to large.

[@jgrivera5866]

beautiful

[@Stevenc1965]

love this, well done

[@michaelthomas6570]

How much for the Noble Hierarch?

[@JayAdan]

+Michael Innace I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about.

[@RealTonyStark]

Amazing Job paint! But I think that was better with White instead red, for a black/White shuttle.

[@JayAdan]

That would definitely be another good choice. You should do one like that!

[@RealTonyStark]

I´m on it...XD

[@LeonGames]

Working with stencils, use the base coat first, so black in this case. Let it dry, then use the red, now the red won't bleed because you sealed the stencil with the black base coat.

[@JayAdan]

I hope that's not what I said.

[@LeonGames]

Jay Adan No, because you where talking about a red base coat. and then use the stencil to mask of the red parts. But because you used the black base, I would place the stencil, then spray a layer of the black on the place where you want the red. This will just seal your stencil. later you can spray it with the red color, and you will have way more sharp lines. It won't help with the red on black color problem though.

[@ItsukaP4]

Just found your videos! loved them all!! excelent work , +Suscribed i'll to see a Tie Figther Work if you can! Kepp doing a great job!

[@JayAdan]

+Hugo Frias Thanks! I'll see what I can do about a TIE Fighter video. ;)

[@tiagodagostini]

I know this is several years old, but I want to leave something. I have painted and then repainted several Xwing miniatures. The lambda shuttle is different. It came painted with a strange paint on those recesses. I highly advise to REMOVE tha original paint with a isopropil Alchool bath before you paint. Why? Because if you want to in future remove the paint job to make a new one you will SUFFER if you did not do that. That strange paint reacts with common acrilics and cristalize into something you can only remove MECHANICALLY with long hours of scalpel work.

[@twitchster77]

I tried doing this once. But then I found my goldfish Henry floating on top of the water. I think I may have done it wrong. :(

[@Algebrodadio]

RE: Airbrushes. I just can't even imagine trying to paint a vehicle without an airbrush. Who wants to paint a Land Raider with a big tank brush? No one. "Shuttle Tyderium, you are cleared for airbrush."

[@kossamolian4052]

Awsome!

[@evilducks3710]

I hate you, the panels look awesome, even if it's just airbrush trickery (now I want to buy a damn airbrush) I think a yellow on the window would have actually popped really well too, but I have no issues with the blue. Good call on avoiding more grey. side note: I wrote to you recently about paint brush advice, took it and have now finished 3 green a-wings I'm very happy with. Eyeing a Firespray Kath repaint next. Thanks for all the tips and videos, I've watched dozens. Now, if only people had warned me that you'll always want to go back and tinker with paint even when it's done! damn OCD...

[@JayAdan]

lol! Yeah, I think that painting commissions has gotten me over wanting to keep painting after something is "done" but I still do it sometimes with my own stuff. As for the airbrush, this wasn't that bad in terms of "trickery." I've been seeing a lot of stuff recently that it was painted by somebody who might have painted panel vans in the 1970's. That's going a bit far.

[@zwara81]

love it

[@MrRrleonc689]

would you be willing to sell me stencils?

[@JayAdan]

Contact me via my website - www.jayadan.com

[@chrisatkinsii502]

way cool

[@superfly1842]

would you be interested in trading? I can send you some 3d printed death star turrets(unpainted) for you to keep and in return paint a couple of mine that I send? I also have some asteroids with bases.
