From my FBTB post

As you may have noticed in the upcoming Clone Wars animation the Republic Gunship nose sport WWII-esque bomber art, which is very cool as it showcases another form of the growing indiviuality of the Clones under the command of Jedi. However I never knew that they could paint so well. :)

This is my first non-minifg MOC, and although it is not what I usually do I enjoyed drawing this, and I do plan on making more gunship art as they appear in the TV series.

The Aurek-Besh simply says Lucky Lekku 2 as I couldn't find out what this particular gunship was called. I'll change it when I find out. Otherwise she'll bear this name for now. The artwork is based on this gunship. I tried to caprture the style that LEGO used for their stickers so I was very liberal with the lineart making sure to retain weight variation throughout.

Here is the FULL STICKER SHEET.

Those with sharp eyes may have noticed that I have changed the colours on the Blue Twi'lek. The original Twi'lek wore a grey coloured clone suit which bothered me so I altered the colours on my version so that it is more true to Clone Trooper standards. The line weight and variations should correspond exactly with TLC's stickers. So if you are looking for some replacement stickers these should be as good as scan of the originals. I have also improved the contrast on the monkey lizard so that the colour of his beak stands out better against the outline. Other than that there are no changes. So if you are looking for some replacement stickers these should be as good as scan of the originals.

Please feel free to use these in anyway you wish, and give credit where appropriate-- I don't mind if you don't :). Included are also a set of blank gunship nose stickers so that you too can design your own gunship art.

Very, very nice!

I just received 6 new white 6 x 8 slopes, knowing that there were people creating new nose art for the RGS. Looks like I know what one of these pairs is going to look like.

Now I just have to figure out how to physically make the decal...

BTW original stickers are lovely too

Those are some nice designs Rayman! :thumbup: They would be really helpful for people who want a different design other than the one they are given. :classic:

I am going to have to do that. That is much better than having to buy a whole new gunship. The slopes are about 50 cents each aren't they?

I suppose that was the main reason why I started this project. It'd be pretty awesome to see what other designs people come up with in the future. My rate of drawing is too slow! But however
slow I am at drawing, I will try my best to draw up more nose-art as soon as possible.

Also here is sketch and higher resolution image of the Green-Twi'lek for those who are
interested.

This is probably is the main advantage of using stickers over printed pieces. :classic:

Awesome work.
I'll put a link in the Instructions Q's & A's for this.
I am sure a lot of people will enjoy those stickers :thumbup:

Thanks KimT, please do. I'll be adding more and more gunship artwork over the next two months. So it'd be cool compiling the stickers in a neat link.

Somewhere in that neighborhood. Not terribly expensive, but not exactly cheap, either. I've been lumping them in with larger orders, so the price sort of evens out.
