This is next for me as well, as soon as I'm done with my hunter seeker driod fighter. I love the gunship though.

I have been looking at picking up one of those also.I can imagine slapping a couple of large engine pods on that sucker.

This is next for me as well, as soon as I'm done with my hunter seeker driod fighter. I love the gunship though.

I always thought that the cobra gunship and the hunter seeker was very similar in design and could be made into a realy nice custom set, a manned fighter with a droid support ship or something like that... 

If these ever go on sale at wal-mart (which I'm sure they will) I'm definately going to get one!  the cobra gunship and the blue fire-bat nock off are the only two vehicles in that line that I think I'd even mess with...  MAYBE the sharc, the one man submersible... idk...

Very nice. Good additional weapons and great paint and weathering.
I like the transition from Joe to SW vehicle.
This one does have lots of potential....

Post by: RedLeaderOne (00fire501) on December 04, 2009, 11:00:38 PM

I got a name for it now. I'm going to call it the S.O.A.R ( Special Operation Armed Reconnaissance ). Its part of the 118Th Imperial Dropship Regiment. Its used for special operation, Recon, Air support and ground attack. I hope you like.

that looks utterly wicked mate

Title: Re: 00fire501 custom vehicles
Post by: spudafett on December 12, 2009, 12:43:49 AM

the repaint is amazing, but I would change a few things to make it fit better into the star wars verse.

take off the tank treads and replace them with some kind of repulsor manifold. 

as for it's role, it's a light anti personel/aircraft vehicle.... just adapt the version of the Gi-Joe card information to make it work for star wars.

Title: Re: 00fire501 custom vehicles

I like your AA vehicle

Thanks guys, wasn't sure on what to do with the tank treads, any  ideas on what I can use?

Title: Re: 00fire501 custom vehicles
Post by: RedLeaderOne (00fire501) on December 13, 2009, 12:01:54 AM

Hi guys, Have a name for it now, going to call it the I.S.A.V  Infantry support armoured vehicle. Hope you like.

Title: Re: 00fire501 custom vehicles
Post by: lambonspit on December 13, 2009, 01:45:00 AM

Really nice. Looks star wars too. I agree with Spudafett but i have no idea how you could install wheels onto the bottom...maybe from a fighter tank or AAT? Really fantastic!!

Title: Re: 00fire501 custom vehicles
Post by: Reconsgt on December 13, 2009, 07:56:26 AM

I think it looks great,

As for the treds, there is nothing wrong with them, in the SW universe we see all types of mechanisms for motion, they don;t have to be on repulsors, you have the Walkers, which are slow and cumbersome, the turbo tank is on wheels,. so who's to say treds are no good, it works for the tank droid.

I think this looks great, FP bound.

That's a great paint job, and the images are stunning. I love the shot with the stormtroopers slightly blurrd in the foreground, the walker looks so realistic.

Well done!
