No big deal...  Its just hard to limit myself to a certain number of pics sometimes!  I get going with my new camera and usually wind up with 30 or so pics!

as always any of my work can be viewed on my deviant-art page under the same handle that I use here. 

it's my fault for not paying close enough attention to the rules in the initial post. again I apologize...


now where are everyone else's entries!?  we had such a good turn out for the kit-bash contest, it's not that hard to throw together a mini-rig vehicle!  HELL the only reason there is a mini-rig classification is because WAY back in the day kenner's lazy yet industrious toy designers threw together some weird "futuristic" star wars-ey hunks of plastic and called them toys.... forcing children to actually use their imagination! :P

I'm still digging down to my workbenches and pawing thru roughtotes of vehicle fodder-bitz!  Wow, I have a lot of crap!  (I also just won some pieces on ebay that might influence my final entry...)

Kind of like Doc, I am waiting for something in the mail that should influence my entry, Devin. I'm hoping that me going back to work next week doesn't hinder my production but am suspecting alot of overtime involved with this particular job.

 Ok folks, this will be my entry, it's not painted yet, and I'm not sure which way to go with it yet either...

It'll probably end up being either an Imperial or Clone Wars era light hover tank for the Senator/Emperor Palpatine's Personal Off-World Guard, The Escort Commando's....


I'm open to suggestions at this point...

That's a good base vehicle to work on by the looks of it, Jules. I got my base vehicle in the mail today and have taken it apart a couple of times already getting ideas. I will try to shoot some pics of it later but it is looking like it will fill the mobile weapons platform duty that I had in mind.

That's a cool looking vehicle you got there HB. Can't wait to see your paint job on it.

Julian I love that rig! As for paint and going on your description, I could see you outlining the panel details in black  then spraying the whole thing an olive green where the black lines show through. The guns could be left flat black then dry brush them with silver. It would be stealthy looking.

my thoughts exactly!  I love it.  Looks wonky, non-symmetrical and just odd.  Which is exactly the way the mini rigs always looked. 

If it's going to be a "royal guard speeder" then red or purple should look good, but I like the "stealth" look idea too. 

or you could paint it in a strange blaze orange or standard grey like the old mini-rigs were...

Spry and Spuda,

It's funny as I was thinking the following:

1. It could be an update of the Forest Ranger vehicle...I've just purchased a new version of the Endor Forest trooper and this would go really well with him, paint scheme: Olive Drab!

2. Paint the vehicle a greyish black and give it a semi gloss finish. No paint effect just make it a direct replacement for the INT4....display it next to an old Storm Trooper or Pilot....

My gut says no1!

I was thinking it would make a perfect addition to TESB min rig line.

Ofcourse I have been known to be biased when it comes to vehicles and figures of that genre, from what I have been told. It is just a great construction though Jules.
