Star Wars Shadows of the Empire Outrider

[Muttleysdad]

Years ago (too many to think about) After the original star Wars trilogy and needing further Star Wars fixes I read the book Shadows of the Empire.
I liked the Dash Rendar character and his ship Outrider. After reading the book I pencilled a few sketches of my interpretation of the ship but never went much further than a card model.
The ship was described in the book as sleek and pointed (almost needle like) with an offset cockpit and a black chrome finish which made it nearly invisible in space. You can imagine my surprise later when for some reason outrider appeared as a battered YT class freighter???? (not that I don't like the YT class Outrider).

Now I've have a 3D printer I've been Looking as resurrecting some of the my model designs from years ago.

Here are some screen grabs of the 3D model of my version of the Outrider which I'll be printing off sometime soon.

I'll post again once printed.

Cheers Chris

I like your version better than the one they came up with. In 'Shadows of the Empire' Dash was sort of a Han Solo Lite and his ship really looked like the Falcon Lite

I personally liked the YT-2400 version, as my first introduction to it was in the N64 game. That being said, I really dig your design as well. You gonna paint it chrome black?

Great. I like it a lot.

What strikes me most about the design is how very much it looks like the Narcissus from Aliens. Remove the cockpit and add some details to the back end and its very close. I like the design as a smaller scale WITH the cockpit sticking out of the side.

Yes As close as I can get - I'm thinking a high gloss metallic black car paint may do the trick with a little dry brushing here and there.

I'm not really familiar with the Outrider design, but that looks very cool and fits the Star Wars look

What a great design! I liked the Outrider after playing Shadows on the N64 but your version is amazing and way more original. Nicely done! Can't wait to see pics of the finished model.

Cool Design. I like it more than the offical ship.

I've managed to get around to 3D printing it, once I've got the piece together I'll post some pictures.
