Crashed Republic shuttle

I ordered this printed ship off eBay to use in the Clone Wars project. It's a kind of generic ship but did have definate nods towards a Star wars craft. This is good enough for me.
As it's printed with the printed lines still visible, I stuck on a few plasticard panels. This will be nice and smooth and should contrast well.
White Hawk down...I repeat White Hawk down!
The model was about £12 and is really 28mm in scale. This shouldn't matter as the bigger the better for tiny 15mm figures. It will make for a great objective with a platoon of Clones stranded in the middle of the board to rescue. Stick an injured Jedi in there and you really have a rescue mission on your hands.
The huge gaping hole in the vessel is great for putting bases of figures in and will take a few 40mm bases. Heavy cover from the laser fire amid the crashed wreckage for sure.
Once the craft is painted in the Republic colours it should look right at home crawling with Clones.
