WOW!!!  Wicked!  CloneSniper78 hit it when he said Road Warrior meets Star Wars.  But I'm also thinking about the Mumakil Rider from Lord of the Rings.  You know, those giant elephant-things.  Great work!

ya know... I usually see customs and think, dang, that's a really cool idea but I bet it could be done better with this change, or do this slightly different...  that's just my mind's way of coming up with new ideas for my own customs...

but every now and then a set of truly awesome customs comes down these forums and my thought process changes to:

DAMN....  that's awesome!  Why didn't I think of that?  I don't think it can get any better than that! 

yeah.  good job man.  Your sandos are a great concept, I love it.  The speeder bike was astonishing on it's own, now add this beheamoth of a tank in the mix and I'm blown away. 

Great job.  I know I couldn't find anything bad to say... but I can't even come up with any constructive criticism! :P

Well Spuda, color me flattered! Forgive me if I'm a little bit skeptical though, there must be something that needs improving haha. There always is. This piece was a blast to work on and at the same time extremely tedious. I have no room on my shelves for it, so I'm not sure what to do with it. Might end up selling it.


As for a huge group shot, I am planning to do one in the sand at some point, but I have 1 more Sando vehicle to finish before I do that. So eventually it will be finished. I am also making some new Sandos for JediMindTrix on commission. So I want to include them in the shots too!

@Wardog: Gonna make my head swell! I love both series as well! I'm a huge fan of primitive, savage, post apocalyptic desert dwellers. So it seemed only natural to do some for the Star Wars Universe. I'm truly flattered you like them so much! Thank you!!! And welcome to the yards (or welcome back if you've been away or something). For more of the riders and pilots check my custom figure thread for the Sandalorians.

Thanks BS! I'd love to see you try some Sandos and Sando vehicles! Haha who knew these guys would inspire some great customs from you guys! After I tackle some Ubese Hunters I'm going to have to get back into the Sando mode and make some more raiders!

Re: AFE's Custom Vehicles--Updated 01/02/12--Sandalorian Swoop! New!

WOW... you've been busy while I was on my hiatus, lol... I just had to quote this, so everyone could drool at it on a whole new page. Love the details man, anymore updates to your Sandalorians? Any new vehicles in the works?

Quote from: ActionFigEmpire on February 29, 2012, 12:18:13 AM
Big vehicle, long post. Pic heavy, thanks for bearing with me!

 At long last I have finished my Sandalorian tank build! Just like with their swoops and other vehicles the Sandos steal, salvage, or bash together vehicles from existing parts they find or take on Tatooine. In their arsenal are many stolen Republic and Imperial vehicles such as this repurposed and retrofitted Republic TX-130 Fighter Tank. With added weaponry and armor the Sandalorian Juggernaut Tank is bristling with deadliness--literally! Covered in razor sharp durasteel spikes this tank packs nearly as much firepower as an AT-AT walker.

 The Sando Juggernaut comes fully equipped sporting 2 heavily armored frontal ramming tusks with razor wire stretched between them for catching enemies on foot, the razor wire can also be electrified for an extra jolt of pain. Make it beyond the razor wire and you enter the "maw of death" all 3 sides of the "U" shaped opening in the front of the tank has been filled with durasteel spikes and at the very end, are 2 EMP launchers to disable enemy vehicles, shields, or droids. Above the maw are twin double barreled Taim and Bak decimation class cannons (85% of the forepower of the AT-AT heavy cannons) which were intended for delivery to a munitions factory for use on a Moff's personal attack shuttle. The  two modified "ear" cannons on either side of the cockpit and gunner's hatch are Merr-Sonn medium repeating anti-personnel pulse projectors both with built-in self contained munitions drum feeds each with a 2000 rounds capacity. atop the gunner's hatch is a swiveling light chain cannon with friend/foe droid brain targeting system and manual control which can be fired by the pilot, co-pilot, or main gunner remotely. Directly behind the right ear cannon there is a mounted heavy repeating blaster cannon with self contained ammo box and cooling system. This can be detached and carried off the tank into the battle as a heavy support weapon. There are two anchoring ropes one on either side of the tank that can be used to allow a brave Sando warrior to ride the "hood" of the tank into battle showing their fearlessness, or to tie a prisoner to the front of the tank and ride them into battle to take enemy fire like a shield. There are also spare oxygen filter tanks, Sando rags and bandages, decorative skulls, and enemies' heads on durasteel spikes decorating the hull of the tank. As well as some supply packs, ammo bags, and rations pockets affixed as well.

Thanks Joe! I'm on an extended hiatus myself. I have some ideas for more Sandos. A squad of heavy weapons troopers and possibly a Sando AT-ST. As for vehicles... I have about 10 WIPs and about 25 WIP figures. No idea how I'm digging myself outta this one lol. I need to order more paints and I'm selling 99% of my entire Star Wars figure collection. And now, back into the shadows!

I'm still on hiatus, but have decided to focus nearly all of my future custom energy on Sandalorians. So today I decided to take a small step toward that and put together a vehicle I have been wanting to do for a long time now. A new Sando desert vehicle that combines a salvaged skiff and a stolen Imperial AT-ST. I have nicknamed this Ugly vehicle the "Skiff Chicken". Officially it's a Sandalorian Buzzard. The AT-ST head separates from the skiff and the skiff separates from the AT-ST Legs. Thus the vehicle has three separate modes. Flying skiff with armored cockpit, skiff with walker legs and skiff walker with armored cockpit. The build was simple enough after I worked out the engineering and the balance issues. Here's the unpainted WIP.

Behold! The Sandalorian Buzzard!
