Yepper those heavey cannons give that walker Sarge made for me look just sweet in regards to massive firepower. I love the gray paint job with blaster marks that Sarge did too. I thought I took some pics and put em in his customs thread, but I may not have gotten to that yet.

Been a long time since I have done any SW related customs, so today I got off my shebs and started on 2 projects I have been mulling over for a while.

These are only teaser shots.
The first pic is my interpitation of what a LRP sniper AT-ST could look like. Second and you get a bonus if you can tell me what vehicle I cut up and re-aranged for this shell of what will become a SW utility vehicle. A loader or mover for a hanger scene of some kind.
Even started on a small Vader for Tamer since I have a package I need to mail, figured if I got that holo vader done I could send it all at once.

Looks like a snowspeeder, but could be a Republic Tank.

Cool! New customs from Wayne!! Like the idea for the sniper atst! That other one reminds me of the original Battlestar Galactica cylon raider but that's not it.

those look like awesome projects.  my first thought was that that second ship was a tyderium shuttle hull, but that's not right is it?

is it some old vintage gi-joe vehicle?

It's 2 parts of a vinatge B-wing I bought for a "junker"   I wanted to use the cockpit and gun, when further looking I saw the side housings if matched could have potential for something else.  More pics of that once I get it going further

Just awesome news on that Vader Wayne. There is a smile on my face tonight. Lets just say that LRP atst has caught me eye, what an awesome idea. That last pic sure has me scratching my head though, B wing?

Oh, I see it. You tricked us there, Wayne. I was trying to think of an existing hull, not a modified one. Nice mod on thatone. I too am excited to see how it turns out.

AHAH! I knew I'd seen that somewhere. I see it now. I've got one myself that is missing a wing, one blaster cannon, and the cockpit cover.  I'll be watching this project with a close eye to see if i can ween any ideas for my old clunker b-wing.

WIP Pics again.  I am finishing the cockpit of the ATST. I closed the hatch cover for 2 reasons, 1. I didn't have an extra hatch to use as a custom and 2 I wanted it to appear to be more at "scale". So while it may not be used for a dio upclose with 3 3/4 inch figs it will find a home in a dio project at some piont. I added a few bits and a differnt style hatch. You can't see the work on the underside yet I did to blend the cannons in but I will snap some when the paint dries and I am done sanding on it. I mainly used some auto body fiberglass to blend the top flush. If you use fiberglass on customs just be sure you use short starnd and that the piece can handle the curing temps. It may warp thin plastics.
The color is just an acid etching primer I am using for a base coat, final colors are yet TBD.

No it is the regular sized ATST, what I was refering to as far as scale was, I deleted the factory hatch and cover and used a smaller style that would make the top more in proportion to the rest of the ATST. It now can't hold a figure out of the hatch. I glassed it shut and smoothed it over
