WIP Action Force Jeep - "Z-Force '73" project
« on: July 15, 2012, 11:36:25 AM »
I thought that is was about time to start one of these threads!

Now I've restored quite a few vintage Kenner vehicles, however I've never attempted a full-on custom ship before.

Well here's my first, influenced by Dalmont's custom Action Fleet T-Wing, here's my 3.75" version...







Clearly still a very early WIP - I'm quite happy with the build so far, I just need to get some plasticard to finish it off.

I've utilised a lot of Darth Optimus'
'Wonderful Medical Greeblies' to try and disguise the standard X-Wing fuselage.

More pics soon...

Wb Out!!

Really excellent project WB!

Personally I think that the old X-Wing fuselage is so un-X-wing like I wouldn't worry too much about disguising it. I think it's the perfect base for this type of custom.

Obviously looking forward to seeing this progress.

Hi Guys!

Wow thanks for the really nice feedback for my T-Wing build so far. Some of you are extremely experienced shipbuilders and this is my first actual custom ship - so your words mean a lot to me!

Finished the build today and I've got my base coat on...more painting and custom decals to follow...










All the best,

Ray
