I'm excited to see what you end up doing with these. I haven't seen a lot of your work, so this will be a treat for sure. 😎

So many great projects so little time.
I'm really looking forward to the NR-N99 finished.
The AMTRAC is a interesting choice for a Jawa vehicle but it will take a lot of work to fit it into the SW universe.

NR-N99 Droid Enforcer - modified and repainted - Version 2



"The NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcer, colloquially known as the Corporate Alliance tank droid, CAD and the snail tank, was a tank droid constructed by the Corporate Alliance at first to silence its opposers and later to combat the Grand Army of the Republic."

    "These are automated agents of evil!"

I do not own this picture.

Hasbro released the Corporate Alliance Tank in their Clone Wars Line in 2009. I had been hoping for a debut of this vehicle since I watched Episode III for the first time.
This version of the NR-N99 appeared in the Clone Wars Series in different colors, but I expected Hasbro to release a repaint of this tank in the following years.
I wondered why Hasbro didn't release this vehicle in their ROTS line right away...it would've been amazing along with the Wookie Flyer. However we never saw the Persuader as it appears on screen in Revenge of the Sith.
A simple repaint has always been a good way to pay off new molds and production costs (best example are Jedi Starfighters). Instead of re-releasing this awesome mold Hasbro even down-scaled the Class II vehicle line, which are more in scale 1/24 than in 1/18, now.


There are only few pictures online to use as reference. For reference I used pictures of:

- Episode III (http://starwarsscreencaps.com/)
- the model of Wizards of the Coast (Star Wars Miniatures) (see picture below)
- some pics on google of model kits and drwaings etc.
- The model of DeAgostini, issue #51 CORPORATE ALLIANCE TANK DROID by their Star Wars Starships & Vehicles magazine. Unfortunately I do not have the magazine itself...(see picture below)

Wow, Philipp! Really nice job on this tank (one of my favorite designs). I appreciate your attention to accuracy and the research you do to achieve it. The paint job and additional elements (and repairs) are looking excellent. Glad you have some time to work.

I love how detailed you get with your projects and show us the smallest detail. Using those trash parts to fix this up was just genius. They look better than the original parts in my opinion.

Time to take this to the front pages today.

Starchaser: Saw your early comment before my third post ;) I was very happy you checked it out! Wanted to complete the post before replying to the comment(s). Got a little late again so my writing wasn't good anymore…;) Thank you for your compliment! I'm happily surprised that this tank is one of your favorites, too! Yeah, there are people out there who collect and know SO much reference material (like JD) - so I feel like I know nothing about Star Wars actually - especially about the OT!
But I do collect quite a lot of references before I begin with a project. Even though it takes me longer (read: forever) to finish it...in this case it took me extra Long because one antenna was broken. All vehicles I use for customs are used and sometimes damaged. Had to figure out a way how to replace the parts. I'm Pretty happy how it turned out.
And indeed, I'm enjoying this strange situation a lot!


JDeck: Thank you so much, JD! I'm pretty happy how it turned out, too. The long time (feels like two eternities) it took to finish Paid off. I think it does look like the version of the battle of Kashyyyk this time around.


Starchaser: Thank you so much! I compared different paints and mixed some especially to finally achieve this blue metallic color. It's dry-brushed completely. Will add all paints I used later. I used the sunny weather to highlight the metal effects. It's just the way it is that colors look best in the daylight...


Tamer: Thank you, the feedback of all of you is the reason why I take the time to go into such detail. It's the best Thing About this hobby and a hell of a lot of fun! Jup, I think we all have empty pens populating our kitchen's drawers. It might be worth to get them out and take them apart ;)

wow  :o
You've really outdone yourself my friend.
That is by far the best and most accurate NR-N99 I've ever seen.
The paint job is flawless. I really like the new secondary armament and the drilled open muzzle brakes.
Thank you for sharing your masterpiece.
Excellent work.

Have you seen the latest episode of The Clone Wars? This tank has a prominent part in the early part of Episode 9. Very nice to see them and I immediately thought of you.

That's a damn fine paint job, you really managed to capture the on-screen likeness perfectly. Excellent work!
