So I don't do a low of vehicles, but here is my latests ....
Clovit the Rodian Junker and his Scavenger Skiff
It’s a hard life out in the wilds of the Dune Sea, but for a being with a keen eye and a quick speeder there’s money to be made. Clovit had been piloting his skiff in those barren wastes for 12 cycles now and had managed to amass a nice pot of money. You had to be clever. You had to be quicker than the Jawas and meaner than the Sand People. And as long as his skiff stays in the air, he’ll keep at it.
Figure: Head is SW POTF Greedo. The body is from a Star Trek Nemo figure. The harness is from a SW Jawa figure. The goggles are from a SW Hoth Luke Skywalker.
Skiff: The main body, back part of the engine, seat, rear hood and rear steering rudders are a Bass Pro Shop fan boat toy. The engines on the bottom are Iron Man missile launchers. The rear of the engine is the snow blower piece that came with SW Goss Toowers. The grill/grate is a rack of an Animal Planet or Corps vehicle. The front cannon and baser are from a Gundam figure. The packs on the side are from a World Peacekeepers APC. The sleeping roll on the other side is from an Animal Planet kayak. The long weapons scabbards are TMNT sword scabbards from Leonardo. The chain is from a Mega Bloks Dragons set. The bucket is the feet from a Minimates Lost In Space Robbie the Robot.
Tamer:
Now that looks pretty awesome. Off to the front pages.
Clonehead:
That is very cool looking. What a great mix of greeblies for the skiff also.
The lines, the flow of the thing reminds me of the larger boatish looking skiff the Chinese food vendor had floating outside Harrison Fords window in Blade Runner.
Moronarama:
Thank you, guys.

I think you are thinking of the flying food vendor from Fifth Element, but that was definitely on my mind while I was working on this skiff. Now that I've figured out the mechanics of the build, I think I'd like to try another. I'd like to give the fins on the back some battens to give it that Asian Junk look. Maybe something more like the food vendoe, with more stuff hanging off the sides.
Darth More:
Hey, sorry for my late response. I agree! Your Scavenger Skiff looks great! I like all the details you added like the panels at the rear and the repulsor turbines at the bottom. I could well see some precious junk on this little carrier. Your design reminds me of the Skiffs seen on Raxus Prime in The Force Unleashed videogame. Good memories there. I just finished the game for the second time back in December.
I really dig how much variety you add to the Star Wars universe. Great Job as always!
