Hello friends!

Another simple Star Wars non canon model: The Alliance Assault Shuttle, extracted direct from X Wing Alliance PC Game...

Model build in three hours. Is very close to old Galactica TV Series Colonial Transport Shuttle.

Nicely done and with good textures. Do you plan to make it available?

Another nice build Pericles!

* It does look like the BSG shuttle... both ships remind me of a trusty old Volkswagon combi van..

Thank you gomidefilho. I will wait for it. It just struck me that I had visited allready your site (for the first time over a year and a half ago) and I saw very nice things there.

Very nice! It almost sort of reminds me of the old "Space Academy" series from the early 70s. (OK, I was 3, but it still stuck with me)

Ugh.. those were the bane of my XvT and XWA existence! Tough things with auto-turbolasers that shot you to pieces if you even thought about attacking them.

Nice, clean build!

Although, I must disagree with the BSG shuttle comparison. Only the front end really resembles them, and the lower fins/strakes really change how it stands out.

One thing I liked with the move from XvT to XWA was the removal of those 5-sided turbolasers that rotated all the time on capital ships. I wasn't sure why they didn't also make the change on the shuttles, which retained the old XvT turrets.

Oh, and speaking of assault shuttles, ironically enough I always thought THIS one looked like a cylon raider from the front!
