Wow did I have some fun delving into this today. Your modifications to my favorite vehicle look just outstanding. I wish Hasbro would give us some new side cannons for the new ATATs. Marvelous work.

I love your Executor Scenes too. Heck I like it all. I have got to get this on the front page.

Thanks! Yeah, I wish Hasbro would have offerred "movie accurate" side guns to interchange with the "missle firing" guns. I got those vintage guns from Darklord (Roberto) over at Rebelscum. And I got the angled "wings" from my old POTF2 AT-AT. Seems Alex Newborn asked me for some kind of part from the POTF2 AT-AT seeing as how I just gutted it out and parted it for misc. diorama fodder.

It is definitely a very realistic fix. Dark Lord is very well known to us here. Last time I checked he was building a better Boba.

By the way, if you are still in possession of the side cannons on that potf2 atat I could sure use some.

I like your use of the old G.I. Joe base for a SW base. I might try that for a Rishi Moon outpost dio/playset.

The cool thing about that base is that I've mixed and matched pieces for various backgrounds for my photonovel.

I think I've still got them! I'll have to look. Of course they will be missing the side "wings."  I basically gutted that old POTF2 AT-AT to use as diorama filler for my photonovel. In fact the underbelly of that POTF2 AT-AT is one of the backgrounds in the next chapter. Alex Newborn had contacted me about the door. I sent that to him; that was last year.

Yeah, Roberto (Dark Lord) was working on a "better Boba" which inspired my custom Boba Fett. He took ill for a while and couldn't inhale paint fumes; so I don't know if customizing is indefinitely on the backburner or not. By the way, he is a HUGE Batman fan!

Sheesh!  I KNEW my ears were burnin'!   ;D    Tamer buddy! , If ya still need those POTF2 AT-AT side guns, I can dig up a pair for ya (minus the side shields)

I'm just about ready to jump right back into the world of STAR WARS customzing now that I've got a clean bill of health, AND I've switched to much less toxic paints and glues!

I've missed ya Jason, buddy, so we'll be catching up again VERY shortly!

Hey its Dark Lord, heck yes man. I will take as many of the side cannons as you can give me. I have about four walkers that are incomplete because of said side guns.

And I didn't even know you were ill. Sorry to hear about that, but glad you are back in action. PM incoming.

Jedi/Republic speeder repaint to cover insignia & add weathering



Ep. 1 Flash speeder repaint to resemble the Stormtrooper speeder from the Holiday Special



Speeder tank made from GIJOE Wolverine. Found the Wolverine at a yard sale for $1.00. It was missing the missle launcher boxes. I used the side gun from Dash Rendar's Outrider for the tank cannon. I removed the tank treads and added extendible PVC couplings for turbo jets. I weathered the front using the "salt weathering" method. This really adds detail to weathering! Really pleased on how this one turned out!!
