Hi everybody, inspired by the excellent work of the community I decided to try my first conversion, I always liked the CAV PX10 from the EU, here is my creation, I named CAV (Compact Assault Vehicle) PX-25 mkV, its a fast attack, one man vehicle, as main armament has a heavy rail gun, a secondary coaxial medium repeating blaster and a micro missile launcher, the vehicle is shielded and armored.
The base was a goliath tank form the avengers toy line, the main gun is the original one, tracks are from a gijoe ice sabre and some pieces from 25mm and 1/35 tank kits. I still want to detail some markings, and maybe put some side skirts.

Wow awesome custom vehicle liking it alot welcome to the yards!
-
Great lookin' tank man! welcome to the yards, hope to see more from you soon!
-
Nice! Can't wait to see the finished product.
-
I dig it, could work very well in the CW verse. Welcome to the Yards :)
-
Thanks everybody for the welcome and your comments. I already finished the CAV, just weathering the weapons and applying some decals, I'm trying to keep it simple since Im toying with the idea of creating a couple more of this vehicles and some variations (as budget and parts allow it). Tomorrow I will post the pictures of the finished product.

Pretty, pretty cool! Finally, something the clone engineer/tank gunners look good in!
Nice work!
-
Here is the final product(for the time being). I added some decals and dry brushed the gun and part of the tracks
The troopers are part of a platoon that I'm also customizing but that will be for other post

Coming next... CIS Orbital Mobile Canon

Looks good to me. Off to the front page. Love the labeling on the cannon and vehicle and the beasty image.

GREAT WORK WELCOME TO THE YARDS

Well, the other day I was watching with my youngest nephew a scene of the movie Starship troopers and we starting discussing how cool would be to see a vehicle with the capability of the plasma bug (the one that shots huge plasma bolts at orbiting ships and as artillery against infantry) but in a vehicle form. Since he is more a collector of clone wars ()rr era (I stick with the Empire era [at1]) I decided for this Christmas give him as a gift an anti-orbital weapon, and I decided to make it for the CIS since his android army at present time is really outgunned compared to his clone army.
The system is based on a power generator that feeds two huge AOPW20 cannon capable of reaching low orbit targets such as landing ships, troop transports and cruisers with a combined rate of 60 rounds/min, the other weapons systems are a quad based turbo laser turret for self defense, four dual purpose missiles, and six cruise-missiles launchers each warhead with anti-armor/anti-personnel submunitions allowing strike from long distance armor and troops concentrations. Finally it carries a dual heavy repeating blaster and a light repeating blaster on the driver and commander positions.
Typically deployed in batteries of 6 vehicles this could ruin the day to any landing force, and a serious threat to any armored vehicle fielded by the Republic.
Here is the first photos of this concept. Enjoy!

Wow. That's an interesting vehicle! I agree we definitely need an anti-orbital weapon like the Bugs had.
-
WOW! This is really cool!
-
Wow. You can read more of my comments on the front page. Nice.

Finally I finished my nephew's anti-orbital platform, here are the photos of the vehicle, I appreciate your comments and hope this one is of your liking.

very cool and very very large !
-
Nice, and back on the front page.
You ever thought of making this one:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/T3-B_Heavy_Attack_Tank
or this one:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/T4-B_heavy_tank
I could easily see you pulling both of these off which were the Rebel Alliance's answer to the AT-AT.
-
Tamer, those are really cool, specially the second one, I will keep in mind and as soon I have material for that I could make it or something based on those concepts, for the moment I have a couple of small project that I would like to finish first, Thanks for the comments and I hope to post soon some other creations

Hi
Long time since my last post but work and family takes time from this hobby. Well here is a WIP I call it AT-HK an early stage concept that requires a lot of work to do but I thought it would be nice to share it with the forum. Any suggestions or comments are really appreciated
The parts used so far
Head and legs for AT-PT
Chassis from a Cobra Hiss Tanks
Upper gun is a chain gun from halo action figure
Lower Gun is form W40K tau tank

PS
Don't know if this should be in this topic to keep all my vehicle under one thread or I should open a new one. Please advice
-
I like this a good bit! Off to the front page.
And usually its better to keep everything in one thread. I try not to be such a stickler with the vehicle and dioramas thread, but for custom action figures its just a must.

Cool projects here. Really into the AT-HK!
