That looks great! We have our first entry! Makes for a creepy looking Ewok doesn't it? But I like it!

It looks like it could be a Y-wing gun pod?

Good guess but no. The setting I have it in is a clue as well.

You sure have me stumped, perhaps a Tatooine Droid of some sort? Lets see if taking this to the fp will get us some answers!

DING, DING, DING, Barry wins! I bet not many people realize Ralph designed this vehicle.

I never even knew it existed. I love this stuff and this rarely talked about characters and droids!

I honestly didn't know this was originally conceived by Ralph. I couldn't find an image for crap online, so I snapped a pic from a book I have. The hint helped too.

Per WEG's SWRPG, it's an Ubbrikkian landspeeder, radial symmetry.  Cool stuff!
