I love the tie ugly!! I have the Y wing, but don't have any tie's to try and recreate my own... =(

Great work though on all of these. I am going to primer my Cruiser tonight and start painting it this week. I have filled in the screw holes with epoxy as well as the small rectangular hole under the bridge.

 I haven't decided on a color yet, but I was going to go for forest green, or a similar but lighter blue to yours.

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

Thanks for the comments everyone. Believe it or not, these customs were when I just started. I've found out that customizing can kill some time when you're bored and is very relaxing. Anyway, a few more Action Fleets here:


Shadow AT-AT Walker, based off the titanium version




Imperial Trooper Transport. Based off a similar ship seen in the first level of Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike

N/A


This custom is actually really useful for me too. I still have that side compartment you see in the picture. I use that to store my extra Imperial Action Fleet figures so I don't lose them. I still need to touch this one up as well, I'm still trying to figure out what I wanna do for the bottom where the legs used to be.


More to come soon!

Cool. It looks like it could use some tractor treads, perhaps 4 sets with road wheels and suspension like a sandcrawler.

I like the sandcraweler tank tread idea.

a cheap way to pull that off would be get online and look up some papercraft print outs of the sandcrawler and build just the tank treads and glue them to it.

LOVE IT!

I've got a ton of action fleet ships coming in the mail this week and can't wait to get them here.

I'm going to have a couple extra walkers too and I think I'm going to emulate your walker/shuttle project and see what I can come up with!

keep em comming! you know you'll have one devoted follower looking at these! ;) I love my action fleets... ;D

After we get all of these painted up we should take a few pics at an agreed upon angle. Then we can have Jules Photoshop them all into a grand fleet =)

Now that is a good idea.

I LOVE that idea.  heck those who have done 1:18th custom ships could do the same thing.

I've been toying with the idea of a 360 degree rotating "lazy susan" figure display stand.  In theory I'd be able to turn the figure 360 deg and get an immage from every angle.  This would be great for the guys doing dio stories and photo-novels.  Having one figure with several poses in a 360 degree rotational set of immages would make choosing poses and manipulating immages a breeze...

not to mention it'd be a fun way to videotape a figure for a youtube presentation!

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead
